After a lackluster run on ABC, The Goode Family was officially cancelled in August. Now, a few months later, another channel is giving the show a second chance to make good.
An animated series from King of the Hill’s Mike Judge, David Krinsky, and John Altschuler, The Goode Family revolves around a household where too much importance is put on living in a politically-correct way. It features the voices of Judge, Brian Doyle Murray, Dave Herman, Linda Cardellini, and Nancy Carell.
After the show was cancelled by ABC, Krinsky and Altschuler told fans that they hadn’t given up on the series and were working to find a way for it to continue.

They wrote, “That was our first season. We will let all of you know as soon as we have our new network and time slot… This show has been the most creatively satisfying thing we have ever done and we look forward to continuing it.”
Now, it seems the good news has come through for The Goode Family. According to the show’s Facebook page, the animated sitcom is moving to Comedy Central in January 2010. The plan is to run the original 13 episodes and if they perform well, the cable channel will order a second round of installments.
The creators encourage fans to spread the word and are thankful for the support they’ve received. They wrote, “This second chance is truly a factor of our show attracting passionate and vocal fans.”
What do you think? Are you interested in seeing more of the Goode family? Will you be watching come January?

They should bring King of the Hill as well…
I would watch a 14th season of “King of the Hill,” whose very satisfying finale wouldn’t be invalidated by the show coming back (the 12th-season finale felt like a series finale and it didn’t hurt season 13, after all).
I watched one episode of “The Goode Family” and that was all I needed. I found the characters–ALL OF THEM–irritating. They would have been great foils for Hank Hill for an episode or two, but I just couldn’t see myself watching a series centered around them.
I am not a fan of cartoons that are giving a bad message out to fans.
Absolutely i will be watching. I Love this show!!!!
As if Reno 911 wasn’t a crappy enough show for Comedy Central now they decided to bring back the Goode Family which was just as crappy as King of the Hill.Hopefully, after the network runs the original 13 episodes they’ll realize that the Goode Family was crap and put the Goode Family down this time PERMANTLY.
lets face it, the`re not bringing KOTH back. it had a good run but i think its time to move on. The goode family is pretty much the opposite of KOTH in that its set in the north instead of the south. i loved both this and KOTH, anythig mike judge does should be watched by everyone.
