  • Do you think this will last as long as "King of the Hill" has?

    This show is horrible! it's a bad recycle job of King Of The Hill. Why do they keep giving Mike Judge work? hide show

    Spin off from King of the hill? you will recognize the voices from K.O.T.H., even some of the characters look similar. So what's the difference from K.O.T.H.? Both unfunny, both drawn poorly. Goode Family main characters are tree hugging, vegetarian, hippies. Hank Hill disliked those types of people, so I guess that's the difference. I'm not sure what age group they were trying to appeal to with this show. There's not enough low brow, crude humor to appeal to the college crowd, and the political correctness will disgust the older generations. This show won't last long. Nothing new here. Don't waste your time.

    There is nothing Goode about this horrible show. hide show

    Let me start off with a simple question. Who lost a bet? I do not take this **** seriously. Now, granted, I've only seen one episode; the first one to be exact. But that's ALL I needed to see. In fact, I couldn't even sit through all of it. The lack of humor was making me sick. I was at the point of not only puking, but throwing the damn TV out of the window. This is being canceled I've heard. I'm SO happy that this is going to be off the air. We don't need another King Of The Hill. Mike Judge has gone down the ****ter. Bevis and Butthead was okay. King Of The Hill was crap. But this...this is utter **** I need a beer.

    Just Not Good(e) hide show

    This is the PERFECT summer show! It makes you want to go outside as soon as it comes on. The animation is atrocious (far worse than K.O.T.H.), and it's just nothing close to funny. What's with the formula of stupid loser son and preppy disinterested daughter? Not only is there nothing original about this show, but it's just tedious to watch. Some of the writing hasn't been too bad, and there are a few sight gags, but everything is just so predictable and... Boring!

    13 episodes, just enough to carry thru summer, then the new fall lineup will come out and this one will get kicked to the garbage, errr, recycling pile.

    Goode riddance.

    I'm a big fan of Mike Judge's work. Pretty good show so far. hide show

    I loved both Beavis & Butt-Head and King of the Hill. This show seems similar to King of the Hill, but w/ a completely different kind of family. The Goode Family is kind of like the opposite of the Hill family. I am definitely going to give this show a chance. So far the pilot episode was pretty funny. Probably not too many people even know about the show yet. I guess it is still a pretty new show. Hopefully some other King of the Hill fans will tune in. I think both liberals and conservatives can enjoy this show. It's all good fun. :)

    Mike Judge, you're better than this. hide show

    Mike Judge is a great writer and to see him come out with this "comedy" is just horrible. A very obvious KOTH flip from semi-conservative to fanatical liberals but it's done poorly. Some parts of the show were borderline funny, especially the bits with their dog. Okay that was the only part really.

    My opinion on the show has nothing to do with my political stance (because I know many people will try to make that fit in to the reviews here), the bottom line is "The Goode Family" just isn't all that good. Nothing was comical in this show, it was preachy and bland. Maybe epis. 2 will go better but I doubt it.
