ABOUT:

(ABC website http://abc.go.com/primetime/thegoodefamily/index?pn=about )

 

The Goode Family is a new animated series from Mike Judge (King of the Hill,

Beavis and Butt-head, Office Space), John Altschuler & Dave Krinsky (King of the

Hill, Blades of Glory).

 

With standards always changing, no matter how hard you try to be good, it's

virtually impossible these days . . . especially for the Goode family.

 

Meet Gerald and Helen Goode, a couple who live by the motto WWAGD ( " What Would

Al Gore Do? " ). Gerald, a college administrator, and Helen, a community activist,

are determined to obliterate their carbon footprint on the planet: They're

zealous vegans, they drive a hybrid, and they recycle everything possible. Even

the family dog, Che, is vegan. In the words of Helen, all the Goodes want to do

is buy organic apples and call minorities by their right names. But despite

their best efforts, something always goes haywire with their politically correct

plans.

 

Like adopted son Ubuntu - Gerald and Helen thought they were doing the right

thing by adopting a baby from Africa, only to learn that Ubuntu was South

African . . . and white. Now a teenager, he eagerly tries to embrace the Goodes'

love of things like crafts and organic gardening, even though deep in his gene

pool is a drive towards more blue collar pursuits like driving fast, using tools

and violent sports. Teenage daughter Bliss is constantly mortified by her

parents (especially her mom's efforts to talk openly, girlfriend-to-girlfriend,

about sex). Even Che is rebelling against his owners - he's secretly

depopulating the neighborhood of every stray squirrel, cat, rabbit and bird in

search of a square meal.

 

Their kids and dog aren't the only ones who find the Goodes hard to understand.

Helen's SUV-driving, meat eating dad, Charlie, thinks her efforts to save the

planet are just a waste of time. Neighbor Ray Johnson is bemused at the Goodes'

attempts to refer to him by the right ethnic catch phrase ( " African American " ?

" Person of Color " ?) and the constant drama unfolding right next door.

 

The Goode Family is voiced by Mike Judge as Gerald, Nancy Carell as Helen, Dave

Herman as Ubuntu, Linda Cardellini as Bliss and Brian Doyle Murray as Charlie.

John Altschuler, Mike Judge, Dave Krinsky, Michael Rotenberg and Tom Lassally

are executive producers of the series, which is produced by MRC and 3 Arts

Entertainment.
