King of Robin Hill - or is it Arapaho?

One of the most recognizable Texas 'exports' is the animated TV series King of the Hill.

The Emmy awarding winning show first aired on Fox in 1997 and ran until 2010, before going into worldwide syndication.

In a 2009 interview with the New York Times , co-creator Mike Judge said that Arlen, the fictional home of Hank, Peggy and Bobby Hill, was based on Richardson, Texas.

KRLD's Emily Trube went out to see how much of Arlen is in Richardson, how happy are the people in Richardson that their town provided inspiration for the show...and does Boomhauer really exist?
