MIKE JUDGE BROUGHT an uncharacteristic edge to the surprisingly durable “Beavis and Butthead” and “King of the Hill,” and whether he brings the same comedic mojo to “The Goode Family” will decide this show’s fate. Why? Because without his name attached, this one looks painful. The show depicts a politically correct family who does everything “right,” all the way down to using only hybrid cars to tote their vegan groceries. We have no problem with Judge diving straight into the left-right culture wars, but he also risks turning everyone off in the process – as too-serious lefties refuse to laugh at themselves, and right-wing curmudgeons reach for the remote. There’s a reason why this is premiering in summer, folks. We see things turning bad for “The Goode Family” before the 10-episode mark.
