Region 1

All of the below are region 1 (North America) box sets featuring entire seasons of the show. As yet, no single disc compilation standalone DVDs have been released as they have with The Simpsons , Futurama and Family Guy .

The Complete First Season

This is the first King of the Hill box set, released on July 1, 2003. It contains all thirteen episodes produced (only 12 were aired in season 1, one episode was held over for broadcast with season 2) from the first season (1997) spread across three DVD-9s (single-sided, dual layer).

The set features Dolby Digital 2.0 audio in English and Spanish, and is presented in full-frame, with optional closed captions and subtitles in English and Spanish.

After a four-month gap between seasons 1 and 2, this set was not released until 13 months after season two's release, in December 2004, after being initially scheduled for spring of that year; this delay was attributed to issues involving music licensing especially with the episodes "Love Hurts...And So Does Art" and "Wings of the Dope," each of which used two popular songs. This and the next three seasons are on dual sided DVDs (Three discs per set instead of the previous six). Special features were also dropped, perhaps due to a waning interest in DVD seasons in the series.
