Comedy Central Picks Up First Season of The Goode Family

NEW YORK: The Mike Judge animated comedy The Goode Family will air its complete first season on Comedy Central beginning January 6, 2010.

The original comedy first premiered on ABC in May, but was cancelled. The completed episodes of The Goode Family will now air on Comedy Central on Wednesday nights at 10:30 p.m. The Goode Family is produced by Media Rights Capital (MRC) and 3 Arts Entertainment, with John Altschuler (King of the Hill, Blades of Glory), Judge (King of the Hill, Beavis and Butt-head, Office Space), Dave Krinsky (King of the Hill, Blades of Glory), Michael Rotenberg and Tom Lassally as executive producers. 

"Mike, John and Dave certainly turn the tables on liberals with this show," said Modi Wiczyk, co-CEO of MRC That’s not done very often on television, but the humor comes from skewering extremism and taking things too far, either to the left or the right. We know Comedy Central viewers will embrace The Goode Family."

"The Goode Family isn’t just about ridiculing liberals; It’s about tackling the issues most TV shows haven’t," added creator and executive producer Altschuler. "I mean where else are you going to see an episode about class warfare in the Lesbian community or the downside of consorting with eco-terrorists?"
