Hercules Laughs A Dang Lot
At Sunday’s Boomhauer-Outing
KING OF THE HILL Series Finale!!

I am – Hercules!!

Fox’s best sitcom, Mike Judge’s “King of the Hill,” concludes its 13th and final season tonight with two stronger than average episodes.

The last, “To Sirloin With Love,” feels a lot more like a season than a series finale, save for one detail: Jeff Boomhauer’s shocking profession is finally revealed. (Hint: he’s not a speech therapist.)

Both of tonight’s installments are Bobby-centric. The first, “The Boy Can’t Help It,” finds Bobby throwing in with a trio of hot mean girls who lure him into “Freaks and Geeks” territory. When Hank learns where they’re headed for the episode’s climax, he reels: “Under the bleachers? Oh no, that’s where kids at risk gather!”

There’s a b-story centered on what Boomhauer calls a homeless man’s “dang ol’ Battlecart Galactica.”

In “Sirloin,” a chance encounter with Roger Stiles, professor of meat science at Heimlich County Junior College and coach of their insanely competitive meat examination team, creates a new bond between Bobby and his pop. When the boy asks what a “meat examination team” is, Hank explains: “It’s like debate team, but instead of doing something useless, they compete by judging cut and quality of meat.”

The episode is thick with great lines, so I’ll share two more that come out of Hank:

“What you’re seeing is what’s called ‘Team Spirit.’ It’s like the Holy Spirit, but more powerful.”

“If I had a nickel for every time I buckled under pressure, I’d have five nickels!”

The series ends with a shot that starts at a propane grill and ends at the Arlen water tower.

After tonight there's room enough for that third series from the creator of "Family Guy."

8 p.m. Sunday. Fox.
