Director Mike Judge’s new animated television series “The Goode Family” is a send-up of a clan of environmentalists who live by the words “What would Al Gore do?” Gerald and Helen Goode want nothing more than to minimize their carbon footprint. They feed their dog, Che, only veggies (much to the pet’s dismay) and Mr. Goode dutifully separates sheets of toilet paper when his wife accidentally buys two-ply. And, of course, the family drives a hybrid.
On Wednesday at 9 p.m., “The Goode Family” will have its premiere on ABC and become the first animated series on the network’s prime-time lineup since 1995 when “The Critic” starring Jon Lovitz ended its second season.

DVR set.
It’s about time Mike Judge did something new. Office Space will always be one of my favorite movies. Idiocracy left a lot to be desired though.
Office Space was a documentary. Idiocracy was a prophecy (note 2008 elections and subsequent consequences).
What about what he DOES do:He consumes far more than the average family and has a carbon footprint as big as his ass, which is huge and growing.
Their dog “Che?” So, I take it the cat’s name is “Fidel?”
Their dog “Che?” So, I take it the cat’s name is “Fidel?”
And the pig’s name is “Hugo” of course.
Idiocracy was a documentary.
No wonder I keep falling asleep when I try to watch it.
Mike Judge is the creator of “Beavis and Butthead”, I believe? It should be good.
But I can’t believe ABC is picking this up! But I’ll watch anyway.
Got the DVR set.
I think it sounds hilarious! If it is as good as his prior work I will be hooked. I will pick up some Brawndo and Flatulin for the Wednesday premier.
If it POs Greens you know it is right on.
-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);[2] 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.
Smug bump!

LMAO!!!
After reading another review I learned that although Ubuntu is from Africa, he is white, much to the dismay of the Goode parents, who so wanted a black child.
I am really looking forward to watching this tomorrow. I think this show is going to be great. I love MJ.
Appointment viewing.
