'The Goode Family,' a new half-hour animated comedy show which spoofs the politically-correct and environmental do-good thinking of a liberal family which considers its lifestyle superior to “abstinence people” who “wear flag pins,” debuted this past Wednesday night on ABC. The opening scene showed a “Support Our Troops...And Their Opponents” bumper sticker on the family's hybrid.

Funny show.
And hey, the son of the family isn’t the only non-African
African-American out there. Don’t forget Te-ray-za Heinz
Ketchup, er, Kerry!

You have to see it. They didn't leave out any libtard affectations and posturing. It had me rolling.

I’ve watched it four or five times. It seems to get better each time I watch it. Some of the jokes are too subtle to pick up the first time through, like the bumper sticker on the car “Earth First. Ask Questions Later”.

It was pretty funny. I laughed out loud when I found out their son was named “Ubuntu”. Although they pronounced it you-buntu, and I always thought it was oo-buntu.

And I liked the line, “I thought after the election it was ok to wear a flag pin again.”

I liked how they explained that it was OK that their south african son was OK because it showed that something good could come out of two white oppressors.

It was great! I would be willing to bet 90% of the ‘libtards’ didn’t get it at all!

Go to the link and then go about halfway down and read the comment about brainwashing. Apparently the guy that wrote the comment is in the entertainment/writing industry and according to him the joke is really on us. (He really wrote more of an article than a comment.) His take was that the first episode was much more a denunciation of Christian values than an attack on liberalism. He said that the message of the show was really just a spoof on how the liberal message is transmitted, not liberalism itself, but it was an attack on the actual message of Christianity.

Not as 'Goode' as I'd hoped, but I see potential with more character development.
I'm a big KoH fan, so maybe I just have higher standards.
The neighbor and the Father-in-Law look very promising to add spice to the mix.

Oh man I love this

Inside (a high-end, organic grocery store) the store an intercom announcement alerts shoppers

“Check out the big board to see how you can limit the impact of your existence.”

His language “guardian character” and “contagonist” seem to be

I guess we'll see as more episodes are aired. I'll make up my own mind on it though. I'm not automatically going to buy into this guy's take on the show, just because he feels his ox is being gored.
