What Season 7 of King of the Hill

Season 7 kicks off in Arlen, Texas, with the Hills just as we know them. Hank wants to keep his habits while Bobby starts dating a girl whose parents are very permissive, something Hank doesn't approve of. Peggy insists on running a bookstore that barely sells anything, and Hank, forced to attend an anger management class after an accident with the chainsaw, has to bite his tongue. Bobby, meanwhile, prefers gardening to football and ends up in the home economics class kitchen. Around the family, Bill, Dale and Luanne get into trouble with hot dog eating contests, boxing matches and a supermarket overrun with pests.
