What Parents Need to Know
About The Goode Family
Parents need to know that this comedy may be animated, but it's not meant for young kids. Created by King of the Hill's Mike Judge, it centers on an ultra "green" family and explores the inherent conflict in the their struggle to resist modern consumer society. There's some drinking and some honest and open talk about sexuality, but on the whole the series is fairly clean. Still, kids may not get much of the humor, and the satire will definitely be appreciated most by teens and up.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about living a socially conscious lifestyle. Are you interested in trying to minimize your impact on the planet?
- Do you think it would be easy to give up meat or driving or fruit that’s not produced in a sustainable manner? What are some other choices that people might make in the name of living a green, politically correct life?
- Do you think this can be taken too far -- do some of these choices seem too extreme? Is this show celebrating the "green" lifestyle, satirizing it, or both?

This is a great show. It shows how vaccuous the Enviro-freaks are and the constant ribbing of their knee jerk - follow the bumper sticker mindset is all about. The satire is very amusing and gets funnier every episode. My whole family and the neighbors - who are dyed in the wool lefties - LOVE it. The father is such a nice guy - someone we all would love to have as a neighbor even though he is always looking to boost his enviro-credentials. The one upsmanship of the mother with her other lefty friends is sweet. Watch it and you will love it too. The daughter is the non-conformist - a normal high school kid and she and the grandfather offer the counter culture jabs at the Goode families oh-so-PC controlled lives. Using rainwater to shower in the front yard - growing an organic garden in the front yard are so funny - as most of the enviro freak movement is all about showmanship of how much "the True Believers" are personally doing to save the planet, not if it is actually doing any good. Very cool show.
