A friend of mine mentioned this to me and it's confirmed on the show's Facebook page

Rest of article at the link cause only chumps paste full text in a forum post :D

Kinda happy about this since I kinda forgot to watch the show when it got moved to Fridays, so I'll finally be able to catch up with it.

Also, if there's enough demand, they can revive the show, so if you're a fan, you know what you have to do.
 
I'm sick of people just blurting stuff out around here without any evidence or anything to back it up. Comedy Central is running the show, but it's not a foregone conclusion that the ratings of those episodes will be high enough. You can't say "Goode Family is getting new episodes" based on your own theories. Other people will believe you 100% and that's how false rumors get started.
 
First Family Guy gets revived thanks to record setting DVD sales and everybody thinks that if a DVD of a canceled show does well it will come back. Then Futurama gets revived due to great ratings on Comedy Central and now people think any canceled show that airs on it will be revived. These were chance occurrences and unlikely to happen for other shows so don't assume it. You can hope, but don't assume.
 
If there's new episodes, Will there be new crew to make to show more like a mix of Super Duper Sumos, Luck Star, & Camp Lazlo & less like a mix of This Just In, World of Quest, & Perlie, Even though Mike Judge wants to focus on Live-Action stuff?

Pair it up with Freak Show on it return & will call it even.
 
I actually made a thread about this a month or two ago about how there's a misconception that any series can be revived due to strong reruns or DVD sales.

From what I've heard, Mike Judge was kind of running on auto pilot on The Goode Family because he was tired of animation.
 
I love how cable television stations like Comedy Central pick up reruns of a one-season flop like Goode Family, while a underrated show like Sit Down Shut Up is left to rot in FOX's Saturday night death slot. Yeah, SDSU didn't do so hot in ratings either, but at least that show lasted more than 13 episodes. :shrug:

I remember watching a ad for Goode Family, and I wasn't very amused. I like watching King of the Hill, but that was just dissapointing. If it pleases the fans though, then good for them.

*waits for SDSU to be picked up by a cable television station*
 
Sit Down, Shut Up stands a good chance of being picked up for reruns by Adult Swim in the future, it's a canceled FOX series and created by the Arrested Development guys. That's just the right pedigree for the network.
 
Now, the show is going to air on Comedy Central on January 6th. Oh and in the news article, it should be corrected that The Goode Family aired on ABC, not FOX.
 
I don't know what you're talking about. That's exactly what the article says.

Just. Like. It Always. Did.

(:o Thanks for pointing that out. Article corrected.)
 
Let's see. ABC spent Disney money to pick up Goode Family, then couldn't be bothered to properly promote the show, so it came & went over the summer. I'm not surprised that Comedy Central came to the rescue here. For one thing, it's back to Wednesdays, where Goode started on ABC, but it gets the post-South Park slot, right in front of the Daily Show. CC has tried a lot of toons in that space (i.e. Drawn Together, TV Funhouse), but hadn't come up with any sustainable success.

Someone said Mike Judge was "tired" of animation. After nearly 20 years and 2 hit shows, I can understand walking away from it while on top. However, "Extract" wasn't exactly a box office blockbuster over the summer, either, was it?
 
Drawn Together actually was very successful, it had the second highest ratings of any series on the channel after South Park, CC was unable to fund production for the series because of the production costs, which led to its cancellation.

Mike Judge movies are never made for profit from what I can tell either, almost all his films have grossed $10 million or less, they tend to find cult audiences years later.
 
Actually, Office Space was a modest box office success, and Idiocracy was the result of executives who were just as dumb, if not dumber than some people in the movie, shoving it straight to DVD. Extract, when you look back at it, was not a success at all compared to Judge's previous endeavors . Especially if you add Beavis and Butthead Do America into the equation...
 
Well, Extract grossed a little more than Office Space in its box office receipts, the real tell all will be how well it does on DVD, which is where Office Space really took off.
