King of the Hill: The Complete 13th Season Blu-ray | Animated Comedy Series | Perfect for TV Show Collectors & Fans

I tell you what, man, back in 2006 Fox released the sixth season of KOTH on dvd and shortly after that they 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, or the dvds wouldn't play, or there are black lines on the side of the picture. I don't know if they got bad copies or what but the set I have plays perfectly. There are no freeze ups and my dvds go back to the main menu after each episode. Every time, man, every dang time. That is all good BUT THERE ARE black bars hard matted on the image on the first seven episdoes just like the Season 11 set. Someone at Olive done gone and messed up but my friend Ron2900 thought he found a fix, I tell you what. I'm going to let him explain in his own words...Boomhauer isn't always that easy to understand so we thought I should explain this. When I have a full frame 4:3 dvd I will watch it in 4:3 mode on my tv and there will be black (in my case, gray) bars or I can watch it in 16x9 or screen fit and the image stretches with no black bars. On the first seven episodes of this season the black bars will not go away in 16x9 or screen fit and when I watch it 4:3 there are black bars in addition to the gray bars on my set so the image is scrunched and the image is too tall and skinny. From episode eight on the show went HD and the aspect ration changed from 1.33 to 1.78 and these episodes look like they should. I think someone messed up at Olive and I'm going to contact them about re-authoring these and getting replacement dvds but in the meantime...I was able to fix the same problem with the Season 12 set and view the show "normally" just like the previous seasons by changing the tv type setting in the menu on my Sony dvd player from 16x9 (I have a 16x9 tv set) to the 4:3 letterbox or 4:3 pan and scan setting. You would think it would work with this season too but all it did with is create a black border that surrounds the entire picture. The only way I could get rid of the black bars was to set my screen resolution to 1280x720 from my dvd player and then set my tv to zoom 1. It is not an optimal solution because the top and bottom of the picture gets cropped but that is the only one I found if you want to fill your entire tv screen. If anyone has a better solution or any questions about setting their player, feel free to comment or email me and I will try my best to help y'all.
