"Goode" times for Mike Judge at ABC

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC is venturing into primetime animation with "The Goode Family," a comedy from "King of the Hill" co-creator Mike Judge.

The network has handed out a 13-episode commitment to "Goode," which Judge created with John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky.

"Goode" revolves around a family obsessed with doing the "right" thing environmentally, politically or socially. But its efforts often have unintended comedic consequences.

Judge will voice the father and other characters on the series. He also voices two characters on Fox's "Hill" and voiced most of the characters on the earlier hit animated comedy he created, MTV's "Beavis and Butt-head."

"Goode" marks ABC's first animated series since "Clerks," which had a short run in summer 2000.

The project hails from indie production company Media Rights Capital, which has signed an interim agreement with the striking Writers Guild of America, allowing it to use union writers.
