King of the Hill (1997)

King of the Hill includes LGBTQ+ characters, primarily John Redcorn, whose bisexuality is depicted incidentally as a character trait. The show generally avoids strong positive or negative portrayals, presenting queer identity without deep exploration or overt judgment, aligning with its observational comedic style.

The show frequently satirizes the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of individual Christian characters, particularly Hank and Peggy. However, the narrative consistently affirms the positive aspects of faith, community, and moral guidance derived from Christianity, often portraying the church as a vital institution and a source of comfort. The satire targets human flaws within the faith, not the faith itself.

In the episode where Bobby explores Judaism, the religion and its adherents are portrayed with respect and warmth. The narrative frames Hank's initial discomfort with a different faith as narrow-mindedness, ultimately promoting understanding and acceptance of religious diversity.
