Story

“The Goode Family” is an American animated sitcom that aired in 2009. Created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler, and Dave Krinsky, the show revolves around the Goode family, who strive to live a politically correct lifestyle and uphold their ideals of environmentalism and veganism. The family consists of Gerald and Helen Goode, their son Ubuntu, and adopted daughter Bliss, along with a vegan dog named Che. The show humorously explores the challenges and contradictions they face in their efforts to be overly ethical and environmentally conscious. Despite their good intentions, the Goodes often find themselves in comical predicaments due to their extreme stances, highlighting the complexities of modern life and social responsibility. The series was known for its satirical take on contemporary issues like eco-conscious living, political correctness, and the challenges of maintaining an ethically sound lifestyle in modern society. Despite its unique premise, “The Goode Family” had a short run, with only one season produced.

Who are the main characters of The Goode Family?


Gerald Goode: the well-meaning, but often misguided patriarch of the Goode family, deeply committed to living ethically and environmentally responsibly. He can always be seen wearing cycling gear, only travelling by bike.
Helen Goode: Gerald's wife, equally committed to their lifestyle. She often drives the family's efforts to live up to their high moral standards.
Bliss Goode: the teenage daughter of Gerald and Helen, who sometimes struggles with her family's extreme values while navigating typical adolescent challenges.
Ubuntu Goode: the adopted son of the Goode family, originally from South Africa. His character often explores themes of cultural identity and integration.
Che: the family's dog, named after Che Guevara, often involved in humorous situations due to his diet and the family's anthropomorphizing tendencies. He is on a forced vegan diet at home, but secretly eats the neighbour's animals and pets.
Charlie: Helen's father, who represents more traditional, conservative values, often clashing with the Goode family's progressive ideals.
Mo: a lesbian friend of the Goodes, who often serves as a counterpoint to their extreme views.
Trish: Mo's wife, who also frequently interacts with the Goode family and their eccentricities.
Charlie: Helen's father, who makes fun of her lifestyle. He drives a big SUV and couldn't care less about the environment.
Kent Jensen: Gerald's boss.
