 Entertainment Geekly: King of the Hill, "Unfortunate Son"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The two factions meet at a cookout, and things don't go well: Cotton and his cronies are sickened at all the unapologetic hugging going on (even Hank has a little trouble with it), while the young upstarts don't care for the old folks' bluster and rather transparent displays of manliness.
Cotton headbutts a guy in the nuts (there's not much else a man of his stature can do), and he and Hank are soon running for their lives from a cadre of disturbed Vietnam vets in full flashback mode.
As is often the case with King of the Hill, it's surreal and touching at the same time, skirting an issue seriously enough to give it its due without bogging things down with Importance.

 King of the Hill | PopMatters Television Review
While King of the Hill, in particular, does not include especially "adult" references to sexuality, language or violence, it does feature more mature storylines and complex character arcs, including father-son conflicts (handled in less broadly than Homer and Bart's), marital problems, racism, and assorted dilemmas facing today's U.S. working class.
That both Hank and Cotton are disappointed in their sons reveals that traditions can be simultaneously relative (changing from generation to generation) and rigid (say, the desire for "masculine" achievements).
