The Goode Family is an American animated sitcom that originally aired on ABC from May 27 to August 7, 2009. The series was created by Mike Judge, the creator of MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head and Fox's King of the Hill, and follows the life of an environmentally responsible but obsessive family.[2][3] The series takes a comic look at contemporary society, this time focusing on a liberal family instead of King of the Hill's conservative family.[4] Judge created the show along with former King of the Hill writers John Altschuler and David Krinsky. The show was cancelled after its first season on August 8, 2009.

The series was released on DVD format on January 8, 2013 by Shout! Factory.[5]
