Media Rights Capital, Ternion Pictures, 3Arts Entertainment and Comedy Central announced Friday the show from Mike Judge, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky will start airing on its new network Jan. 6. The complete first season of "The Goode Family" will be broadcast on Wednesday nights.
The show first premiered on ABC last May.
"Mike, John and Dave certainly turn the tables on liberals with this show. That's not done very often on television, but the humor comes from skewering extremism and taking things too far, either to the left or the right," Modi Wiczyk -- co-chief executive officer of MRC -- said in a statement. "We know Comedy Central viewers will embrace 'The Goode Family.'"
Altschuler, the show's creator and executive producer, said the show "isn't just about ridiculing liberals."
"It's about tackling the issues most TV shows haven't," he said. "I mean where else are you going to see an episode about class warfare in the lesbian community or the downside of consorting with eco-terrorists?"
The voice cast includes Judge, Nancy Carell, Dave Herman, Linda Cardellini and Brian Doyle Murray.
