The Goode Family review

the Goode family is a show created by Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge. Gerald Goode is the husband and father who works at the local college as a professor, voiced by Mike Judge the same voice he had for another hippie teacher on Beavis and Butthead – David Van dReisen. On a sidenote, every other show, since Beavis and Butthead, where the voice receives, its own show, have all gone on to be successful shows. Like I have said that Mike Judge gives these characters their voices, Hank Hill, the main character of king of the Hill, began as old man and war, veteran neighbor on Beavis and Butthead Tom Anderson.

The rest of the Goode family, we have Gerald’s wife, Helen, who is a community activist, and obsessed with her rivalry with another woman, who was just like her, and she is obsessed with shopping at the supermarket, which their world is the equivalent to Whole Foods. The supermarket and their world is called one earth. It is totally vegan.

Bliss and Ubuntu are their daughter and son– bliss is a normal teenager who just wants to go to college out of town, and is embarrassed by her parents. Ubuntu is their son whom they adopted from South Africa. Shay the four-legged family member, the running joke is at the family thing. Shay is vegan like them that they are oblivious to the fact that Shay is eating neighborhood animals.

They have a neighbor name, Ray, and Helen‘s father is there too. Both men are foils of comedy for not being politically correct. The goode family is a show that lasted for one season on ABC network. Created by Beavis and Creator, Mike Judge, as I said. This cartoon is a better liberal, politically, correct, hippie, vegan family, known as the goode family.

Comic misadventures ensue as the family and people around them go about their lives being so liberal and politically correct trying to be so good is how they became or were given the last name good. In the college town where they live, the goods go through everything from paper, plastic, recycling, the politics of a town supermarket,new concepts, like Frigan ism, pet, adoption, being cool parents, and having cool friends.

This show was just too smart for its own good to last. I frankly wanted to see another season. I truly identified with this show on every possible level. I used to be a vegetarian myself, and the good family made me wish I could be a vegetarian again. The show was wonderfully written, and the stories really stood up. Like I had said, all the issues, and things that politically correct town and liberal issues, go through are written, and dealt with beautifully as I had said before.

This show reminds me of another hippie liberal show that ABC had at one time called Dharma and Greg. I also love that show too the way I love the goode family. I now know why I like both shows, is they speak to the inner politically correct hippie liberal that still resides in me. The good try so hard to be a model family, and politically correct and liberal and true to themselves. At one point during an episode the wife Helen, ironically admits to it being hard being good, also pun intended to their last name.

Of all of Mike judges, TV shows, the good family, the world just wasn’t simply ready for an intelligent cartoon like this. hopefully, like everything else the good family will be given a reboot, and we will have new episodes.
