The Goode Family (Mike Judge's new show)

[Shade737]

The Goode Family is an upcoming ABC animated sitcom from Mike Judge of King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-head fame. The show is set to premiere on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 in the 9pm hour with back-to-back episodes. It will also premiere in Canada on Citytv.

Premise
The Goode Family is an obsessively "green" family who live a politically correct lifestyle. The reason why their last name is Goode is because they are always trying to do good. For example, they reuse their shopping bags, drive hybrid cars, recycle, etc. They are also vegans.

Characters
Gerald Goode (Mike Judge) is an administrator at a community college. He comes from a "long line of over-educated academic liberals". Helen Goode (Nancy Walls) is Gerald’s wife, a local activist.

The Goodes have an adopted son, Ubuntu (David Herman), who is from Africa. They also have a biological daughter named Bliss (Linda Cardellini); she often disagrees with her parents, and sometimes pokes some holes in their world views.

The family dog, Che, is also vegan: he craves meat and often tries to eat neighborhood animals and pets.

Crew
The show is created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler, and Dave Krinsky, with Altschuler and Krinsky serving as show runners. The show is directed by John Rice, Seth Kearsley, Jennifer Coyle, and Anthony Chun, with Wes Archer as supervising director. Show writers include Jonathan Collier, Jace Richdale, Gene Hong, Owen Ellickson, Dave Jeser, Franklin Hardy, Leila Strachan, Brad Pope, Howard Kremer, Shane Kosakowski, Jordana Arkin, and Matt Silverstein, in addition to Altschuler and Krinsky, and other writers.

After King of the Hills cancellation Mike Judge moved on to this.

I saw the shows commercial awhile back and while it looks horribly cliche I might just watch it to see what its like.

Looks like shit.

So this is basically the opposite of King of the Hill? Interesting, at least. It's worth a chance.
