King of the Hill: Season 7

For the first time in a long time the DVD’s stalled because they were dirty. I got seasons 7 and 8 and both sets had to be cleaned. After cleaning, they worked okay.

I tell you what, man, back in 2006 Fox announced that the seventh season of KOTH would be coming out on dvd soon. 2007 came and went, no dvds. Fox announced that they scrapped their plans to release any more seasons of KOTH. Dang it, man, Dang it! The fans went crazy and petitioned Fox to please release KOTH but we just got ignored. That is just bad business Fox, dirty pool, Fox, dirty pool. Now listen up Fox, at Strickland the customer comes first. That is right, the customer comes first. I reckon Fox needs to be schooled on that lesson.Flash forward to 2014. After nearly nine dang years of praying for this to come out, Olive Films comes to the rescue and starts releasing KOTH on dvd. Now I read some reviews on here and I got mighty scared to buy this, I tell you what. People were saying that their screens would just go black after an episode and not return to the menu, the dvds wouldn't play, and someone was even talking about dang tv logos at the beginning of the shows. I don't know if they got bad bootleg copies or what but the set I have plays perfectly. There are no tv logos and my dvds go back to the main menu after each episode. Every time, man, every dang time.Yeah man, I tell ya what, man. Those dang ol' Fox flipper dvds, man. No worries, man, no worries. All 23 uncut episodes are on three single sided dual layered dvds. Let me break it on down for y'all:Disc One:01 Get Your Freak Off02 The Fat And The Furious03 Bad Girls, Bad Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do04 Goodbye, Normal Jeans05 Dances With Dogs06 The Son Also Roses07 The Texas Skilsaw Massacre08 Full Metal Dust JacketDisc Two:09 Pigmalion10 Megadale11 Boxing Luanne12 Vision Quest13 Queasy Rider14 Board Games15 An Officer And A Gentle Boy16 The Miseducation Of Bobby HillDisc Three:17 The Good Buck18 I Never Promised You An Organic Garden19 Be True To Your Fool20 Racist Dawg21 Night And Deity22 Maid In Arlen23 The Witches Of East ArlenVideo: The episodes are presented in a solid 1:33 transfer just like they aired. The colors pop and for the most part everything looks good. Sometimes I'll notice some jaggies in certain scenes but it isn't too dang bad or distracting.Audio: English 2.0 and Spanish 2.0. The audio is clear sounding and I have no complaints.Subtitles: EnglishExtras: Boy, I tell you what, man, this dang ol' set just has the episodes and nothing else. Dang ol' bare bones dvd. Dang it!

If you didn't already know, King of the Hill DVD releases from Fox ceased after season six, and years later the rest of the show was released by Olive Films. While it is nice to be able to own the whole series, Olive Films season seven set has some minor differences that I'm sure fans who own seasons 1-6 would like to be aware of. First off, while the discs are single-sided and don't require flipping like the previous sets, there is a slight loss in picture quality as a result. I watch the show on a 65" 4K television, so those with lesser displays may not notice, but on my end the picture is not as clear, there are a lot of noticeable jagged lines, and there are quick instances of visible interlacing. These are not issues I had with the previous sets, and they don't warrant skipping out on this release, but they are worth noting. Also, there is no longer a chapter break after the opening theme song, so while I could hit "Skip" to bypass the intro on previous sets, I cannot on the Olive Films season seven release because it will bring you to the mid-mark of the episode. Instead one must manually fast-forward if they don't want to see the theme song before every episode.

I just revived my copy of season 7 and 8 on physical DVD Like many other fans I am thrilled to get to own seasons 7 and 8 on DVD. I'm not a big fan of digital distribution so when I herd they were being released on DVD a few months ago I instantly pre-ordered.Both season 7 and 8 feature nice packaging in the style of normal size cases with a swing flap that I personally prefer over the older style fold outs or slim cases. The artwork is nice and colorful. The cases are clear and an episode list is printed on the reverse side of the art work.I was happy to see that the three discs are single sided and not flippers. They house about eight episodes a disc. The only small drawback for me is that there are no bonus features at all. I am still extremely happy with everything else. I hope Olive Films will continue to release the remaining seasons on DVD. These two sets have been the first DVDs I have ever pre-ordered, and I would be more then happy to pre-order the rest of the seasons as they become available.

Well, I’ve never thought I’d see the day when King Of The Hill seasons 7-13 would finally be on DVD…It’s about fricking time!! Two Thumbs way way up for Olive Films for getting the rights to distribute the rest of this awesome show!! Now for the people leaving two, and one star ratings complaining about the DVD Quality? Claiming that the show won’t go back to the episode menu if you decide to watch it by episode? Well, either they have jacked up DVD players, or they’re lying sacks of dirt! I’ve tested it on my personal Desktop computer, My PS3 gaming console and my Sony Blu-Ray player and the disks play just fine!!! You can either watch all the episodes back to back, or individually. It works fine!Now for the people whining about Special Features, They pretty stopped doing all that after season 3 or so. Once they tell you how they draw the characters, and demonstrate how the show is made, it makes sense that they would eventually stop… right?Anyway, Thanks Olive Films for doing this for all the fans of King Of The Hill!

I enjoyed it as I have enjoyed all King Of The Hill episodes. I am pleased all seasons are now available on DVD.

Same as ,excellent

A great season with some epic episodes.

Excellent dvd , waited years for this to come out , quick delivery from the states too

*Slim cases has a nice feel and not bulky like the older DVDs that I sold at a yard sale due to Fox Network refusing to release season 7 to 13 all of the discs played fine (No hang ups) in the Blu-ray/dvd player. Thanks to Olive DVD company who paid Fox for the rights to release all seasons!* All season sets are released as slim cases and not bulky like the Fox DVDs released in the past!Sigh the ONLY downside to these sets is they are double (Flip over) sided to save space!
