Is it worth starting?
This is 15 seasons deep — English animation, leaning comedy. There's a lot of it, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on your week.

- 7.4/10 from 700 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
Set in Texas, this animated series follows the life of propane salesman Hank Hill, who lives with his overly confident substitute Spanish teacher wife Peggy, wannabe comedian son Bobby, and naive niece Luanne. Hank has conservative views about God, family, and country, but his values and ethics are often challenged by the situations he, his family, and his beer-drinking neighbors/buddies find themselves in.
