The characters of The Goode Family are really the whole premise of the show. In a world gone way politically correct, the Goodes show audiences how that way of life could go wrong, with the best intentions. Find out more about The Goode Family characters.

Helen

Helen Goode (Nancy Carrell) is a community activist who is determined to obliterate her carbon footprint on the planet. All she wants for the family is to buy organic apples and call minorities by their right names.
Ubuntu

Gerald and Helen thought they were doing the right thing by adopting a baby from Africa, only to learn that Ubuntu (Dave Herman) was South African -- and white. Now a teenager, he eagerly tries to embrace the Goodes' love of things like crafts and organic gardening, even though he just likes driving fast, using tools and watching violent sports.
Bliss

Bliss (Linda Cardellini) is the Goode's teenage daughter. She is constantly mortified by her parents, especially her mom's efforts to talk openly, girlfriend-to-girlfriend, about sex. Ecch.
Che
© Goode Family Productions, LLC
Che is the family dog who is rebelling against the Goodes by secretly de-populating the neighborhood of every stray squirrel, cat, rabbit and bird in search of a square meal. (Helen has him on a vegan diet, too.)
