Adult themes

The series deals with adult situations which may be inappropriate for younger viewers, like smoking, dysfunctional families, domestic abuse, racial stereotyping, LGBTQ+ acceptance, grieving deceased loved ones, and even subjects like sexual harassment and suicidal thoughts. Though some of these topics may go over younger viewers heads, it may encourage discussions by parents or caregivers with tamariki and rangatahi.

Sexual references

Sometimes characters can be seen making out or are implied to have engaged in sexual intercourse. These moments are usually for comic effect.

Nudity

Sometimes characters can be seen nude, but private areas are covered, and we do not see anything explicit. Nudity depictions are mostly done for comedic purposes.

Violence

Characters in King of the Hill are seen several times watching a show where a “villain” often kills his victims in brutal ways by shooting and/or stabbing them; however the violence is more slapstick-based rather than graphic in nature.


Coarse language

This show contains the use of moderate coarse language, with words like “sh*t” and “damn.”
