TV: Wednesday Hot List
May 27 2009, Published 8:25 a.m. ET
As we say goodbye to Fox’s funniest rednecks on King Of the Hill, which has not been renewed for another season, creator Mike Judge swings a 180 and brings his newest animated creation to ABC. Meet The Goode Family. A vegan, politically correct, uber-liberal family, whose good intentions always go awry! Take, for example, their adopted son, Ubuntu. 16 years earlier when they requested to adopt an African, they were hoping for a little black baby… they accidentally ended up with a blonde, white, South African baby instead. Or the family’s vegan dog, Che who secretly eats the neighborhood pets! Hey, the far left may not think it’s funny, but as a leftie I must admit I’ve seen the vegan dog food in Whole Foods and thought, who are these people!? Now I know!
A&E gets a new series tonight with Thomas Pendelton from Inked fame turning a 1970s tour bus into a traveling tattoo parlor and hitting the road, on Tattoo Highway! I don’t know about you, but when I get a tattoo, I kinda want the venue I get it in to NOT move!
And get ready for the series premiere of Your Worst Animal Nightmares! The opener details some of Australia’s most terrifying attacks on humans, like a grandmother who goes up against a crocodile to protect her family, and a couple of teens who are tracked by a great white shark! Ooh! Just like Jaws 4: The Revenge…this time it’s personal!
I'll send more later today!
