With The Goode Family's 1st Season Finalie less then a week away (Finalie Airs August 7, 2009) The Fait for a low rated friday night animated sitcom is still undecided. What do you think will happen, or should happen to this show.

Have it go to Adult Swim or let it stay on hiatus until another show tanks!

I won't be surprised if it gets cancelled. It was nothing to get excited over imo.

I tried watching it once but it didn't hold my interest at all...

I think its really funny, but i think it got cancelled because in the info for dish network, it said series finale, it could be a mistake though.

Adult swim should pick up both The GOode Family and King Of THe Hill and air them at 10 and 10:30 (10 for King, 10:30 for goode)

Two very underrated shows.

Looks like they just want to stuff their face with...(sigh)...reality shows!

Goode Family producers pledge to return

Every time The Goode Family aired on ABC, it felt badly out of place -- right up until its cancellation. Now, its producers are hinting that the show will live again on another network.

ABC canceled Mike Judge's latest animated series last week. It was hardly a shock considering the network moved it around its schedule more than a Three Card Monte dealer shifts the Queen of Hearts. ABC looked for a place to bury the Goodes -- then they killed them.

But, on the show's Facebook page, show-runners John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky claim the show will return on a new network.

Their message to fans reads: "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."

A second life for Goode somewhere else would be justice as the show never had a chance at ABC. And it wouldn't fair much better on CBS or NBC either. The politically correct insecurity running through the classic big three doesn't allow for edgier animated comedy. When network execs and critics start hinting that it's not appropriate to mock climate change paranoia or extreme racial sensitivity in the "Age of Obama," the game is over before it even gets started. Apparently, dissent -- even good-natured, teasing dissent -- will not be tolerated.

Strangely enough, though The Goode Family was touted by many as "that conservative comedy that mocks hippies," its humor was even-handed and "equal opportunity." The guilt-marketing of a Whole Foods-style grocery store was countered by the mindless capitalism of a Wal-Mart clone. Radical environmentalists were taken down a peg alongside sexually repressed born-agains.

Here's hoping the Goodes find a new address on Fox, Adult Swim or any network that hasn't disappeared up its own backside.
