I don't see how he hasn't had mainstream success for a while. Beavis and Butthead did very well for him and King of the Hill was a staple of Fox's Sunday lineup for the longest time.

I tell you whut.
That boy just ain't right.
I sell propane and propane accessories.
King of the Hill is mainstream as hell. And good for Mike Judge. Anything they showed opposite the simpsons in a 1 hour block starting at 6 PM has achieved what you would call commercial success.
You gotta sign stuff that doesn't matter as "Rusty Shakleford".

I still argue King of the Hill is the best animated show ever made. At the very least it had by far the best characters. It stayed strong throughout it's entire lifespan instead of Simpsons of Family Guy who are just completely unwatchable in later seasons.

I wouldnt put it above Simpsons or South Park. I still find some simpson episodes good. I also have had way more laughs out of American dad and Futurama than KoTH. Futurama had way to many classic episodes to be put below king of the hill
Archer, and bobs burgers havent had as many seasons but both are better at this point

South Park is recently good but it had that period where they attempted to get by simply on shock humor. They've really elevated the bar recently, though. I wouldn't disagree with you. But the fact that KotH can be spoken in the same breath as Simpsons and South Park just shows how good it was.
Ironically, the Simpsons episode "King of the Hill" is during the last season I felt the show was worth watching.

South Park is significantly better but I do enjoy his work.
This (Silicon Valley) might end up being my favorite show of his.
I feel like this show is over in 10 mins. I remember last season was the same way. Why so short!? I know 1-hour comedy's are rare, and often fail, but damn this show is so great and I want these episodes to last much, much longer. So good.
I laugh a ton too, and I thought the way they ended the episode and the credit sequence was hilarious. This show has such great writing.
