ABC Panders to The Other Half – Finally
May 23rd, 2009 at 10:00 am by CrankyCheck out this summer replacement series coming to ABC this May.
Debbie Schussel says:
I recommend you keep your calendar open for Wednesday Night, when at 9:00 p.m., ABC debuts “The Goode Family.” It’s an animated TV series directed by the genius behind the great, must-see “Idiocracy,” Mike Judge, and it sounds hilarious. If you’re like me and sick of the eco-hypocrites and enviro-crazies, this is for you, complete with a vegan dog and an adopted kid from South Africa (who they’re upset turned out to be White).
Full disclosure – I thought Beavis and Butthead was completely lame, so I didn’t care much for Judge. Office Space began to change my perception and after watching Idiocracy (at Brian’s recommendation), I’ve gained all kinds of respect for Mike Judge.
Bonus! A drinking game for Swamp Rabbit and other interested participants. Every time you find a hostile review blasting this show for it’s stereotyping and cliches, take a drink. If you find that the same reviewer really liked a show or movie that played on redneck, Christian or any other conservative stereotypes, drink the whole dang bottle, I’ll buy you a new one.

Dude. If we try this drinking game out, there won’t be any bottles left in a 60 square mile radius of my house!!!

Which, while I think about it, might be a darned good economic stimulus for the local liquor industry, but my liver…..

but my liver…..
Are you about saving the economy or not? Where is your sense of sacrifice for the cause? You must not care about poor people.

You just know Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer are arguing over who looks best in the suicide vest to go blow-up Judge’s studio.
Vis a vis South African whackiness, due to being in doctor’s offices all week long I was inevitably going to pick up a Time Magazine (the only place I ever see a Time Magazine btw). They had the funnest quote by some random, race-appropriate South Afrikaner about how everything is so poor there now, that money equals freedom and that life under Apartheid rocked so completely compared to present day.
Take that, Nelson Mandela. The White Haired Terrorist Sire to The Continent That Failed.

I’m impressed that Time even printed this SA’s quote. It isn’t like liberals to give any credence to a failed do-good venture.

BTW, how dare you cast aspersions on Beavis and Butthead…you dillhole!
May 23rd, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Sorry, my friend. I hated just about EVERYTHING MTV touched when it stopped playing music and peddling youth entertainment of the lowest form.

Aw, c’mon. B’n'B was really quite good. Office Space – more like AWESOME Space! And, with the election of The Won, the Idiocracy is truly upon us.
I just went to DirecTV.com and set this up to record. Thanx for the heads up!

Enjoy BnB. I’ll be there opening night too.
Thanks Pookster.

You’re welcome, Crankster! I already had both vids set (& still do) for the In Case You Missed It. Dept. of Tuesday’s Toons…

I decided this morning while laying on the bathroom tiles in a cold sweat that I’ve given up drinking games.

I just watched the first 5 minutes of this, and I predict libtards will flood ABC with protest letters and ABC will cancel this show.

I tivo’d it. It was a keeper. How it would survive in primetime on ABC I cannot imagine. They’re too busy showing sensual old bags flaunting their wrinkly wares in a thriving Necropolis.

I was pleasantly surprised. I expected it to be weak and it was not. I don’t see it surviving past summer, but it’s fun while it lasts.

We liked it & will be regular viewers…so much good, quick dialogue…tried not to miss any tidbits…
