The animated sitcom King of the Hill aired 13 seasons from 1997 to 2009. The show's continuing popularity is bringing it back for season 14 that will debut on Hulu on August fourth. Instead of taking up where it left off, the series jumps ahead eight years, and it appears that the characters have been busy during that time. Hank and Peggy went to live in Saudi Arabia for a number of years, and they've returned home for their retirement to find the neighborhood in Arlen, Texas, changed quite a bit. Dale ran for mayor, but we don't find out whether he won or not. Meanwhile, Bobby has grown up and at age 21 is now a chef in Dallas. The passage of years is illustrated in lightning speed in the show's new opening credit sequence. No doubt we will get a more detailed explanation of those years in the first episode. -via Boing Boing
