The Goode Family

Premieres Wednesday, May 27 9/8c

Meet Gerald and Helen Goode, a couple who live by the motto WWAGD ("What Would Al Gore Do?"). Gerald, a college administrator, and Helen, a community activist, are determined to obliterate their carbon footprint on the planet.

Not sure how to take this.

It looks like a politically correct King of the Hill. But is it MOCKING the envirofascists, or indoctrinating a new audience.

What Would Al Gore Do?

Probably raise taxes and increase regulations....

[max americana]

from Mike Judge? I’m sold. Wished they would continue with King of the Hill’ and this looks like the reverse American Dad.

WWAGD ?

Buy a NetJets membership, run 20x the average American electric bill, and get ferried to speaking engagements in a gas-guzzling Ford Yukon.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I like Che, the vegan dog, who begins eating all the pets in the neighborhood.

[FastCoyote]

I would also like to obliterate the Goode family carbon footprint.

Son (adopted from South Africa—but he’s a white
South African): “Sorry I used too much gas, Dad”

Dad: “That’s OK; what’s important is that you feel
GUILTY about it!”

Looks like a spoof of liberals to me..I had heard about this
awhile back.

[gridlock]

The question, of course, is not WWAGD - What Would Al Gore Do, but rather WWAGRYTD - What Would Al Gore Require You To Do.

Al Gore, himself, flies around in private jets, rides in limousines and sucks down electricity by the MegaWatt. If we all lived like Al Gore, the US consumption of fossil fuels would go up by a factor of ten.

Not that I give a damn, of course. But thems the facts...

This looks like everyone who lives in Amherst/Northampton MA. It’s not even that much of a spoof. Really.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Now there's a sure fire replacement for logical thought.

ABC would enjoy an audience in the hundreds of thousands, provided there aren't reruns of “Gilligan's Island” going on TBS at the same time.

My kids can't get enough of Bewitched. Uncle Arthur is their favorite.

[sharkhawk]

It’s Mike Judge, it is definately mocking liberals.

[a fool in paradise]

They could just show the animated version of Animal Farm from the 1950s (it’s public domain, I believe). Every night until the public wises up that when Socialists say that all animals are equal, they will learn that some are more equal than others.
