Cancellation
On August 8, 2009, ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson stated that the show, along with Surviving Suburbia, had officially been canceled due to low ratings. However, on June 27, 2011 a post on the show's official Facebook page said: "Hopefully this will work. There are some investors that believe they can get a DVD/digital release of the first 13 episodes. Of course, if that happens, and it goes well then we may be able to get back up and running in some form. But, one step at a time. We will keep you all posted!"
In 2010, reruns of The Goode Family aired Monday nights at 10pm on Comedy Central, beginning January 4. It was to be evaluated for new episodes, but was pulled off the Comedy Central schedule after only four weeks. Mike Judge's two previous animated series Beavis and Butt-head and King of the Hill have had long runs and positive critical acclaim, however The Goode Family has become Judge's least successful animated series. The series returned to Comedy Central on February 25, 2012 at 6 AM.
