Hulu releases helpful "King of the Hill" refresher ahead of season 14 premier

We've been on the return of "King of the Hill" beat for a bit now. From the first look to the first trailer, we've been there. Hey, a classic cartoon is returning after a long hiatus, and they decided to age up the characters! The 14th season of "King of the Hill" arrives on Hulu on August 4.

Of course, the fact this is the 14th season means that there are 13 seasons leading up to it. If you haven't already started your rewatch, you're in luck. Hulu has dropped a "King of the Hill" recap on YouTube and it won't even eat up three minutes of your time.

It's actually kind of impressive how, while rudimentary, they did manage to encapsulate a lot of "King of the Hill" in a brief recap video. It's less a "here's what happened" and more a "here's who is who." Also, clearly the focus is on getting people ready for the reboot, since Luann, a key character in the original run, barely appears and is not introduced.

Feel free to save that video until August 4, watch it right before you start bingeing season 14, and get down to business!
