Oh, I wish this would be good

While I do watch TV, I don’t watch a ton, so someone had to point this out to me:

Tonight, ABC premieres a new animated series called “The Goode Family,” who might as well be called the Greens.

Meet Gerald and Helen Goode, a couple who live by the motto WWAGD (”What Would Al Gore Do?”). Gerald, a college administrator, and Helen, a community activist, are determined to obliterate their carbon footprint on the planet: They’re zealous vegans, they drive a hybrid, and they recycle everything possible. Even the family dog, Che, is vegan. In the words of Helen, all the Goodes want to do is buy organic apples and call minorities by their right names. But despite their best efforts, something always goes haywire with their politically correct plans.

I want to like it because I like Mike Judge (above), “Beavis” and “King of the Hill.” But I’m not getting my hopes up.
