The third season of King of the Hill originally aired Tuesdays at 8:00–8:30 p.m. (EST) on the Fox Broadcasting Company from October 6, 1998 to May 18, 1999. The Region 1 DVD was released on December 28, 2004. The Region 2 and 4 DVDs were respectively released on August 28 and September 26, 2006.
The showrunners for the season were Greg Daniels and Richard Appel. The show was moved to a Tuesday night time slot this season, which led to a decline in ratings (in part due to competition from WB's hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Fox later moved the show back to its original Sunday night time slot. During this season, the writers started to include darker stories, such as "Pretty, Pretty Dresses", which focused on Bill Dauterive's Christmas suicide attempts.
Conclusion. The aftermath of the propane explosion from part one leaves Hank suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder around propane, a now bald Luanne repressing her grief for Buckley (who was the only casualty in the propane explosion) by becoming a Sinéad O'Connor-esque activist while angry, and Bobby worried about death.
Peggy gets hired to write for the Arlen Bystander, but the stress of a new career leads her to require treatment from John Redcorn—and she soon discovers that John Redcorn had an affair with Nancy and is Joseph's biological father.
While Hank is busy trying to breed Ladybird, Dale decides to add a little excitement to his life by enrolling in a four-hour bounty hunter training course.
In a Rashomon-meets-The Three Stooges-style story, Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer tell their own versions of their day as firefighters after getting arrested for burning the firehouse to the ground. Meanwhile, Bobby helps Peggy with a pulled groin muscle.
To teach Bobby and Luanne a lesson in playing pranks, Hank orders Bobby to marry Luanne after Bobby takes her birth control pills and replaces them with sweet tarts.
Luanne gets a job as a drink girl at a resort called "La Grunta", where the golfers sexually harass her. Meanwhile, Hank goes to La Grunta to swim with the dolphins—and gets molested by one of them, and is paid off with hotel merchandise to keep from reporting the incident.
