Making a Mockery of Being Green ("The Goode Family")

This will be the first time I have watched ABC in years!

Much as Mr. Judge’s series “King of the Hill” finds humor in the dramas of a working-class Texas family, “Goode” lampoons a liberal Midwestern household. In “Goode,” the characters are often mocked for being green just to fit in with their friends and neighbors. They are a perfect target for the 46-year-old Mr. Judge and his two longtime co-writers, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, who have made careers out of finding humor in the follies and pretensions of everyday people.

This is just what is needed to point out the pomposity and self-rightousness of the ever-so-serious urban Liberal. I hope this show holds to its promise.

Have we turned a corner here?

Sounds great from the WSJ back story. Can’t wait for a weekly parody of clueless greenies. Since they cannot understand systems thinking or even simple life cycle costs all that’s left to illustrate their lack of critical thought is to lampoon them and mock them with satire. Perhaps some will finally understand the error of their greenie ways.

A little ahead of you, I got a bumper snicker that says “stop global whining” two days ago. :)

I saw this just tonight via ABC.com streaming.
Very funny—the meat-starved dog, liberals feeling guilty
and not sure about what to call blacks, the market scene
(oh no! she forgot her re-usable bag) and how their
“African-American” son happens to be white.

Guess what: so is Teresa Kerry...
