The Goode Family

Cadaverous Pallor · 06-08-2009, 08:45 PM

The Goode Family is Mike Judge's new animated series. It's like King of the Hill turned on its head. The family is the ultimate in vegan, recycling hybrid-drivers.

As you might expect, it's hilarious. Full episodes in HD are available here, and ABC's player is rather good (I recommend using Internet Explorer - Firefox gave us trouble.)

Highly recommended. Judge is a freakin' genius.

I second the recommendation, though I fear me liking it will be the kiss of death.

It's hilarious.

I do wonder why I have a season pass to it on my TIVO but it comes up as Manual: Wipeout (I selected The Goode Family and the TIVO guide says The Goode Family but it displays on TIVO as Manual: Wipeout).

Did you read Nikki Finke this morning? Goode Family was unexpectedly canceled.

I am amused enough to give it a shot

I watched the first few minutes. Is the "pet" supposed to become a regular character? If so, very funny, but I found it hard to look at.

FYI, that's not the premiere episode. Not sure if the pet thing will stick around.

I must admit I was mildly irritated by it by the time the title card came up and didn't go any farther. I'll probably give it a shot on TV sometime but it didn't win me over in the four minutes I gave it.

But I'm still somewhat pissed off at Mike Judge for eugenics comedy styling that was Idiocracy.

I just watched a second episode of TGF and I find the characters growing on me. I hope ABC gives the show a chance to grow, though it appears viewers are not watching it by the millions. Too bad.

This show continues to deliver. I highly recommend the last couple of episodes.

This show better survive. Laugh at yourselves, eco freaks!!

According this article, the last new episode will air on July 17. If correct and if Wikipedia is right that means there will still be 4 episodes unaired. Not completely a run in summer would pretty much mean the show is dead.

But that WSJ article is the only one I can find. Hardly anything else is even talking about it (which in its own way is not a goode sign).
