The Goode Family is an ABC animated sitcom from Mike Judge of King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-head fame.
Premise: The Goode Family is an obsessively “green” family who live an obsessively politically correct lifestyle. The reason their last name is Goode is because they are always trying to do good. For example, they reuse their shopping bags, drive hybrid cars, recycle, etc. They are also vegans. The family lives by the model “What would Al Gore do?”, a spin on the Christian motto What Would Jesus Do?.
Characters
* Gerald Goode (Mike Judge) is an administrator at a community college. He comes from a “long line of over-educated academic liberals”.
* Helen Goode (Nancy Carell) is Gerald’s wife, a local activist.
* The Goodes have an adopted son, Ubuntu (David Herman), who is from Africa (South Africa). They also have a biological daughter named Bliss (Linda Cardellini); she often disagrees with her parents, and sometimes pokes some holes in their world views.
* The family dog, Che (Dee Bradley Baker), is also vegan, but not by choice: he craves meat and often eats the neighborhood animals and pets.
