King of the Hill provides absolutely spot-on satire. When I lived outside of the state, I watched the show all the time just to get over the homesickness - it is that accurate in terms of reflecting and, through only minimal exaggeration, satirizing life in Texas. In this case, the show picked up on the Texas midcentury subculture, of which many on this board are members.
