Mike Judge, the creator of King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-head, is putting the finishing touches on a new animated series called The Goode Family. As you might suspect from the name, the series follows the adventures of an obsessively “green” family who live a politically correct lifestyle. Judging from the above photo, we’re cringing with excitement over what hilarity and mocking might be in store. Here are a few more details:

“Mr. Goode or Gerald Goode is an administrator at a community college. He comes from a long line of overeducated academic liberals. Helen Goode is Gerald’s wife, a local activist who someday dreams of becoming an activist. They have a adopted son Ubuntu, who is from Africa. They have a biological daughter named Bliss. She often disagrees with her parents and sometimes pokes some holes in their worldviews. They have a dog who is also vegan. He craves meat and often tries to eat other pets in the neighborhood.”

I love that the dog is a forced vegan with a taste for animal pets. I wonder if Alicia Silverstone’s dogs feel the same way?

Look for The Goode Family to move into your television sets this coming November.
