Mike Judge who has created such memorable animated series as King of the Hill and Beavis and Butthead launches a new series this fall on ABC called The Goode Family. The Goodes are a family of eco-do-gooders who will spend the series trying to be “good” according to Judge. The family is comprised of father who is an over-educated community college professor, a vegan/activist mother, an adopted South African son, a rebel daughter, and a vegan dog. The series is full of Judge’s characteristic snarky humor as evidenced by the parents continually lamenting that they adopted a white South African instead of a black South African and the vegan dog scours the neighborhood for squirrels to supplement his diet (Vegan Action may not be too happy with that). Judge aims to satirize the fad aspect of going green. Let’s face it, with things like Green Porno, the current cultural landscape is full of things to riff on, but the series might prove to be green-educational as well. And even if it isn’t, where comedy is concerned, Mike Judge definitely is king of the (compost) hill.
