Propane rules! Fox has renewed
King of the Hill for a 13th season. The down home hilarity of Hank and Peggy Hill, their son Bobby and dog Lady Bird, will continue for another year, likely remaining in Fox's strong Sunday night animation lineup that includes
The Simpsons, Family Guy and
American Dad -- although that's only speculation on my part.
Creators Mike Judge (the voice of Hank and Boomhauer) and Greg Daniels (The Office) will continue at the helm, and all the usual characters remain. That means more of Kathy Najimy as Peggy, Brittany Murphy as Luanne, Pamela Adlon as Bobby, Johnny Hardwick as Dale, and Stephen Root as Bill.

Interesting news out of
CBS this morning. On the heels of
renewing The Big Bang Theory last week, the network has now announced that when
Bang returns with new episodes on March 17, it will be leading off the night.
How I Met Your Mother, in its third year, is also returning with new shows that night, but will be taking over
Bang's 8:30 slot. On a side note,
The New Adventures of Old Christine will be replaced by new episodes of
Rules of Engagement on Monday, April 14.

You can call it the beginning of a beautiful relationship, or it may seem like a license to print money, but any way you view it, today's announcement that
Apple will be the signature sponsor for Fox's
American Idol -- that Apple will have exclusive audio and video performance download rights for
AI -- is huge. The deal, effective immediately, ensures that all
Idol performance downloads will now only be available on Apple's iTunes store. In addition, iTunes will sponsor online streaming of contestant performances on the official
American Idol web site. Each and every time you click on the
AI site, you'll see links for iPods and iTouches and iPhones, all the cool players and gadgets that Apple sells. And every time you click on the Apple site, you'll see links to
Idol.
