It's so hard to be Goode

Home » Blog » Annabel McAleer » It's so hard to be Goode

A new TV show from the creator of King of the Hill takes the mickey out of, well, us! We hope it screens here soon.

Meet Mrs Goode, a local activist who someday dreams of becoming an activist. Mr Goode, her partner, comes from a long line of overeducated academic liberals. They have two children: the rebellious Bliss and their adopted son Ubuntu. (The Goodes wanted to adopt an "African baby". Although they were not expecting a white child from South Africa, they love him very much.) Their vegan dog, Che, craves meat—and he will kill and eat other neighbourhood pets to get it. 

The Goode Family is a new show from Mike Judge, creator of King of the Hill and Beavis and Butthead. The series follows the trials and errors of a family with nothing but good intentions, but who perhaps go a tad far in their pursuit of the good life.
