Once More With TV Shows

So, I was on IMDb just now for a look at some acting profiles (They were for a few movies I had seen recently). One thing I saw caught my eye, and jogged my memory a little bit.

There was a link to a sister site, offering full episode viewings of shows on ABC. ABC’s not my bag, (I’ll be taking down Eli Stone, Lost, Pushing Daisies, Dancing With the Stars, et al. in a few days’ time) so when I saw the link to an episode of the Goode family, it jogged my memory.

I remember about three weeks before this show hit the airwaves. I was laying down on the couch as my mom was watching something on ABC. I saw an ad for a show called The Goode Family. It seemed to be a parody of hippie culture, and I said to myself, “Great! Those hippies need to shut their mouths.” But actually, it was just god-awful idiotic, with stupid things like the father of the household saying, “What would Al Gore do?” Avoid this.

Anyway, I just have to comment on how idiotic these mischaracterizations are. Last time I checked, caring about the environment wasn’t a bad thing, and last time I checked, environmentalists don’t worship Al Gore (although they are mostly trend slaves).

I don’t really have much else to say. Mike Judge (the executive producer) is a brilliant guy, and I know this is a parody of the conservatives’ view of the liberal lifestyle, but I know the righties won’t pick up on it, and think that it’s just a parody of the liberal lifestyle.

I’d watch this on a regular basis, but I have enough dignity and self-worth not to view anything that airs on ABC.

Don’t watch this.
