Comedy Central is 'Goode' to Mike Judge with new deal

The Goode Family is moving into their new home on Comedy Central.The Goode Family -- the Mike Judge show ABC did everything it could to kill -- has a new home at Comedy Central.

According to Daily Variety, the cable network will air all 13 episodes of the animated comedy that ABC canceled last summer. That's good news for fans of a show ABC buried in its line-up -- moving it around like a pea under a nutshell until it finally put the Goodes out of their misery.

At the time, the show was embraced by fans of Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill as a worthy sardonic successor to Judge's animated quiver. But, critics often attacked its mockery of political correctness and progressive politics. Some pundits went so far as claiming such a show was inappropriate in the era of Obama.

In other words, it's only censorship when your side is the one being silenced.

The silly thing is that The Goode Family was never one-sided in its comedy or its politics. It was never a show that existed to mock hippies. It was a show about the absurdity of any one political view. It was a show about a family struggling to find happiness in a confusing time.

Now, the show will see the light of day again on Comedy Central. There's no word yet if Comedy Central would back additional episodes, but the network did pick up new episodes of Futurama when it gave that show fresh life.
