Yeah I was just getting into the Goode Family. I'm not saying it's a fantastic show, but it had a lot of potential (if KOTH could go 54 seasons, then surely this show had a dozen or so in it). ABC should have given it a chance to grow. The other night's episode, with the prisoners and road cleanup, was quite funny.

I still think the show needs a good antagonist. Move Dale Gribble in next door. The grandfather is not enough. I figured they'd have a right-wing teabagger with a "W" bumpersticker on his car living next door to the Goodes. Of course, the networks and the multinational companies that own them don't want to offend anyone, and since the American people are so easily offended, it means you cannot even so much as make a statement about anyone's politics (saying something as straightforward as "catholics tend to oppose abortion" is controversial, bigoted, and ignorant, or so the flood of angry letters will claim). This fact was going to be something a show like The Goode Family would always be working against, and it would always hold it back. They can't make any normative statement about the Goode's politics. Even so, I thought the show was pretty funny.

So now it will be replaced by some asinine, cheap reality show. Tune in for the exciting hit series "In the Closet" - where a real family spends a month living in their house-size closet, and the shenanigans fly!

... or something like that. Shoot me now.

I missed episode 13, the "series finale," because ABC aired it on the same day as episode 12, which I didn't think they'd do. I thought it'd play next week. So I'm upset. Don't have DVR. The first season of Goode Family was not hilarious, but it did make me like the characters, and I think future seasons could be very funny. I agree with this article.

lucky no one cares what jason hughes thinks. macfarlane is a genius.

RIP, Goode Family! :-(

It was one of the shows I looked forward to seeing recorded on my DVR.

Damn! Goode Family was just getting Goode!

"Bob Saget is a comedian?"

Yes, and his stand-up stuff is some of the nastiest, filthiest stuff you've ever heard. Saget could make Eddie Murphy, Redd Foxx or Martin Lawrence blush.

That's actually what makes a lot of his TV work so amusing: it was actually funny seeing him on AFHV, doing grandparent-friendly humor, when you KNOW that his stand-up stuff would give your grandma a heart attack!

If this is true, it is very upsetting news. I was enjoying The Goode Family more and more every week. I understood they had to introduce the family stereotypically in the first few episodes, but the characters were getting deeper each episode. Side characters are being introduced as well and the audience was getting to learn more about them. It was getting to the point where an episode could be focused around a side character, a la King of the Hill or the Simpsons.

Bottom line, Mike Judge's humor needs to be on TV.
