The idea of the show came when Al Gore was having a meeting about how polar bears are dying and the planet earth has a fever. He contacted Mike Judge who has done some goode TV Shows, to seek a family that's very liberal and would try and encourage people to help out. The Goode Family live in Illinois, They are die-hard Liberals who wants to have everyone live in harmony and anything that's free-spirited and anything involving Al Gore (Like riding bikes, recycling, and eating organic vegetables).
