    The Goode Family is a highly imaginative and often amusing variation on that one note.

    Welcome to The Goode Family, a scathingly funny report from the front lines of America's culture wars.

    ABC chimes in with its new animated sitcom The Goode Family--then pulls just enough punches so tonight's premiere episode feels like satire lite.

    Unnecessary, and close to unwatchable, is ABC's The Goode Family, a long-delayed animated entry from "King of the Hill" producer Mike Judge.

    Even funnier than King of the Hill at some points... hillarious show.

    Hilarious. I laughed constantly throughout this show. It was very clever.

    More shrill and less character driven than previous Mike Judge animations - it's still funny, and Mike Judge gets points for both knowing his subject and knowing they need to be made fun of. While it took a while to see where a necessary foil would appear in this lopsided cast of characters (caricatures is probably more accurate) it did appear. This isn't the best we've seen from Judge, but it's good enough to be willing to wait and see if it will get any better.… Expand

    I can't support this trash of a cartoon. My family will watch Pixar instead of watching these inappropriate jokes.
