About the family

The Goode Family is an obsessively “green” family who live a politically correct lifestyle. The reason why their last name is Goode is because they are always trying to do good. For example, they reuse their shopping bags, drive hybrid cars, recycle, etc. They are also Vegans.

Characters

Helen Goode is Gerald’s wife, a local activist who someday dreams of becoming an activist. They have a adopted son Ubuntu, who is from Africa. They have a biological daughter named Bliss. She often disagrees with her parents and sometimes pokes some holes in their worldviews. They have a dog who is also vegan.
