Friday's vandalism episode was really funny. I'm starting to love the mom.

ABC has it on its third timeslot since premiering six weeks ago. We need to start the funeral preparations.

I agree, which is too bad because it's getting more clever.

Tonight's episode was funnier than I thought it would be, mostly due to the young daughter trying to get a job. As someone who remembers being 15 and who
now has a couple of teenagers, I totally felt her pain.
The shopping at the discount store was pretty good, too. The fat people riding the motorized carts was great. |

It does suck -- this show is actually really good, and kind of a refreshing change from the McFarland Night over on Fox.

This show really is excellent--and yeah, it's pretty depressing that Fox gave up on Mike Judge (I know TGF is on ABC, but Fox did cancel by far the most
consistently excellent of their animated shows with KOTH) and is putting all their eggs in the Seth MacFarlane "You don't know whether you'll get
a Hershey bar or a piece of shit" basket.
I like that metaphor. |

The prisoner cleanup episode was the best ever.
Mom's rivarly with Margo= comic gold. I hate America for not watching this show. |

I've really come to like this show. It's not laugh-out-loud funny, but it's grin worthy. That's gotta count for something.

Now that it's starting to get fans, I believe it's been CANCELLED.
meh. |

I still had the last two eps to watch. I looked it up to see if that was the season finale, discovered it was the series finale, and deleted them.
But I did find it enjoyable. It was to KotH what Daria was to B&B, sorta. Oh well. |

Goode Family producers pledge to return
Posted Aug 10th 2009 2:01PM by John Scott Lewinski ABC might have killed The Goode Family, but its producers say it will live again.Every time The Goode Family aired on ABC, it felt badly out of place -- right up until its cancellation. Now, its producers are hinting that the show will live again on another network. ABC canceled Mike Judge's latest animated series last week. It was hardly a shock considering the network moved it around its schedule more than a Three Card Monte dealer shifts the Queen of Hearts. ABC looked for a place to bury the Goodes -- then they killed them. But, on the show's Facebook page, show-runners John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky claim the show will return on a new network. Their message to fans reads: "That was our first season. We will let all of you know as soon as we have our new network and time slot...This show has been the most creatively satisfying thing we have ever done and we look forward to continuing it." A second life for Goode somewhere else would be justice as the show never had a chance at ABC. And it wouldn't fair much better on CBS or NBC either. The politically correct insecurity running through the classic big three doesn't allow for edgier animated comedy. When network execs and critics start hinting that it's not appropriate to mock climate change paranoia or extreme racial sensitivity in the "Age of Obama," the game is over before it even gets started. Apparently, dissent -- even good-natured, teasing dissent -- will not be tolerated. Strangely enough, though The Goode Family was touted by many as "that conservative comedy that mocks hippies," its humor was even-handed and "equal opportunity." The guilt-marketing of a Whole Foods-style grocery store was countered by the mindless capitalism of a Wal-Mart clone. Radical environmentalists were taken down a peg alongside sexually repressed born-agains. Here's hoping the Goodes find a new address on Fox, Adult Swim or any network that hasn't disappeared up its own backside. |
