Yeesh, that guy was annoying. But then, I guess that's the purpose.

I'm glad that Margo didn't appear in the rest of the episode.

And I like Charlie here. Such a practical joker.

The animation was pretty well done, I thought.
 
I loved that gag as well.

It was a pretty good episode. Shame that ABC is trying to get rid of this show. For Pete's sake, they don't even advertise the show anymore. Seriously, what kind of ratings were they expecting? It's the SUMMERTIME. Less viewers are going to tune in to TV during the summer because there are plenty other things they can do outdoors. ABC shouldn't drop this show. They should give it a second chance and maybe place it in mid-season. It would do better there.

Also, viewers are just hard to please. They watch a pilot and BAM, they give up on the show. It should be common knowledge to people that a pilot kicks the show into gear, meaning that there's a chance the following episodes will improve if the pilot is okay or mediocre. Those who quit after the pilot miss out, because these episodes so far are entertaining. But, since the show isn't another Family Guy, no one cares.

Sad. I hate great shows that don't get a chance.
 
I really think that this show is hillarious. I find it much more amusing than your average episode of King of the Hill. To quote a friend of mine, The Goode Family is a show I actually want to watch, while King of the Hill is a show that I will watch if it's on.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY Hope that this show at least gets a CHANCE to prosper.
 
So true about the advertising. The only reason I know this show exists is because it was mentioned in passing on a radio show I listen to. I never saw any official promos for it or anything!


Yeah. It sucks that few networks are willing to take a chance on an animated prime-time show that wasn't created by and/or copied from Seth MacFarlane. :(


I really hope The Goode Family beats the odds and lasts a few more seasons. I think it combines the best elements of Mike Judge's silly stuff (like Beavis and Butthead and Idiocracy) and his more down to earth, slice-of-life stuff (King of the Hill).
 
While the ratings are still low, this week's episode did get an increase from last week's.

This episode got 1.81, with last week's being 1.59. A week before that it was 1.09

Hope they continue to grow.
