Since very few people respond to the Goode Family talkbacks, I'd figure it'd be easier to just do a series talkback instead. Here's tonight's episode.

The show airs Fridays at 8:30 PM eastern.

To be honest, I haven't even given any thought to watching this. It's not that I think it's a bad show, it's that I rarely watch any of the broadcast networks (with the exception of Fox Sundays). I guess I might contribute to the possible cancellation due to low ratings. Oops. (This is were I would have put the embarrassment smiley, but I couldn't find it.)
 
I know Mike Judge is involved here, but this screams out someone taking a plot from an episode of King of the Hill, and just decided to tweak it.
 
I've read a bunch of critics getting their panties in a twist, because apparently environmentalists are "above parody."

Give me a break.
 
I can see why this show isn't very popular. I mean, the joke with Che not being fed meat by the Goodes has been beaten to death and it wasn't funny to begin with. I'm starting to get annoyed with how utterly clueless the Goodes are. I mean, how could they not notice that he never eats his vegan dog food? I mean, don't they wonder why there's always a full bowl of dog food in his dish? You would think that after they saw Che eat meat in this episode that they would come to the conclusion that he wants to eat meat, but something tells me they'll be back to starving him next week.

I also kind of found it a little weird how Bliss acted just like the other members of the family in this episode when in prior episodes she was portrayed as the normal one. I guess she believes in some of her parents' philosophies but not others? Still, it would be nice if there was at least one voice of reason in the family.
 
New episode airs tonight

"After-School Special"

Broadcast Order: Season 1, Episode 9
Production Order: Season 1, Episode 12

Writers: Franklin Hardy & Shane Kosakowski
Director: Anthony Chun
 
I don't find this show funny at all, but I continue to watch just to stare at Bliss' stomach. Seriously, she has to have one of the hottest animated stomachs in the history of animation. Do vegans in real life have such good looking stomachs?
 
A new episode just aired (sorry I forgot to post it. Hope it didn't cause anyone to miss it!)

"Public Disturbance"

Broadcast Order: Season 1, Episode 10

Writers: Owen Ellickson
Director: Anthony Chun
 
Great episode. Best scene was when Ubuntu told off his dream girl after misinterpreting Bliss' advice. Also, Bliss and her crush's relationship was handled well.
 
I haven't even gave the show a chance because it's on Friday nights. That's when I'm watching WWE. The show has a bad time slot IMO. Plus, it's on a network that I don't even watch. Now I really want to watch this show. I guess I'm going to wait for the DVDs to come out.
