‘THE GOODE FAMILY’ LOOKS BAD
05.14.09In two weeks, Fox ABC will debut a new animated comedy from Mike Judge called “The Goode Family.” It’s basically “King of the Hill” but with liberal douchebags instead of regular folk. From the show’s propaganda department:
True to their name, the Goodes are an infuriatingly smug and self-righteous bunch: a nuclear family that’s hell-bent on maintaining the world’s smallest footprint. Gerald and Helen Goode drive a hybrid and live by the tenet WWAGD (“What would Al Gore do?”). They’ve named their adopted African son Ubuntu (in a mix-up, he turned out to be white South African). They feed their pet vegan dog food (he sneaks out at night to eat woodland creatures).
It sounds like a good premise — there’s definitely a wealth of material to work with — but I’m not feeling it. I don’t know if it’s just the animation I don’t like, or if the humor’s too broad or what, but I’m giving it a thumbs-down. Hey, I’m a blogger, I get paid to rush to judgment. Megan Fox sex tape! Photoshopped! Simpsons did it!

Does mike judge scare the shit out of anyone else these days? i just got outta jail for a DUI and he looks exactly like everyone there mixed into one giant scare-sack with a voice from my childhood.
No good can come of this.
King of the Hill has been making fun of liberals forever. I’m not sure why Mike Judge needs another show to keep doing it.
It’s like they flipped the script on “American Dad.”
And definitely not like Rob Reiner.
Needs more synergy. And can we get this on a twitter feed?
Whatever Mike Judge creates, I’m sure the ABC Programming execs will improve.
As a Mike Judge fan, I hope he proves you wrong. As a gambler, I would bet money that he fails to do so.
It’s like they flipped the script on “American Dad.”
And no, that’s not a good thing.
Only humor making fun of conservatives is funny. Comedy writers just don’t know how to make fun of liberals quite yet. See “An American Carol”. Actually don’t, its quite awful.
I am so gonna watch this. It’s not porn? Never mind.
Apparently Mike Judge decided to save on thought pollution by lobotomizing himself. Seriously, how can I get excited for this show if the most excitement he can muster is as if someone told him there’s fresh coffee in the break room.
I got the part where you wrote “Megan Fox sex tape” and I passed out, hit my head on the desk and just came to. Twice actually.
Nothing fussy-freddie about that; I appreciate the correction.
Not to be a Fussy Freddie, but the show is actually gonna be on ABC, not Fox.
I’m just sayin’….
Couldn’t be any worse than Sit up Turn Channel
