The Goode Family (New Mike Judge cartoon)

[INDY500]

Can it be true? A TV show that dares to mock liberals and environmentalists?

Premiers on ABC Wed night. Watch... if you dare.

it's about fucking time liberals get a run for their money in the form of a quality tv programme.

not saying this will be that, but i hope so.

South Park has done plenty of liberal mocking over the years.

Man Bear Pig!

South Park is just too, I don't know, sophomoric and crude for me. And I can't stand the animation.

Loved Team America however. (even the crude and sophomoric marionette sex scene)

Some of the SNL TV Funhouse cartoons were pretty politically uncorrect as well.

Looks like it'll be pretty funny and harmless to me. And certainly, there are aspects of the modern far-left that need mocking as much as those from the far-right.

Oh yes, such the victims are conservatives...

Granted this may be the first TV show that has a premise dedicated to mocking liberals(at least in recent history), but this is nothing new. Mike Judge is a pretty equal opportunity guy.

South Park, Futurama, Family Guy all do a pretty good job mocking everyone...

I think if you play the victim and you seek it out, you can find bias anywhere...

Great comedy shouldn't be harmless.

Great comedy shouldn't be harmless.

I certainly agree, but - as much as I like Mike Judge - judging from the videos on the site I don't really have any plans to call The Goode Family "great comedy" anytime soon. More like, something to watch while having tea.

I'm sure it'll piss off a few people, though.

Was that on last night? Crud, I missed it and was interested in checking it out.

No Daria, it starts Wednesday night.

 

[HyperU2]

Won't last one season.

Sweet! Thanks.

agreed. very easily forgotten by most, i think.

most comedy is at the expense of others, less it be self parody

some even say, comedy is cruel.

 

[CTU2fan]

I'm planning on checking it out. Though I've a problem...I can only watch/DVR 2 things at a time, and I've got the Goodes, the Red Sox, and the return of Tyler Perry tonight. I'll probably suck it up and miss an inning or 2 of baseball.

There's kookiness on both left and right, nothing wrong with mocking it. But I still miss Beavis and Butt-head, it's funny to see old B&B characters show up on the other Judge shows.

 

[DrTeeth]

From the creator of King of the Hill? I hate that show

"Attention One Earth shoppers. The driver of the SUV is on aisle 4. He's wearing a baseball cap."



Bonus points for having the family dog named Che.

 

[CTU2fan]

OK I'll admit I laughed a few times there, but I'm not sure I see the show lasting too long...I think they'll run out of jokes.

Totally missed the dog's name, that's brilliant. And good for him eating the cat in the end.
