Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, May 31 (UPI) -- U.S. TV animator-writer Mike Judge says his fascination with using his TV creations to make fun of militant eco-friendly people stems from his upbringing.
The "Beavis and Butt-head" creator admits his parents played an integral role in the development of his "eco-fascination" that is apparent in jokes such as "Beavis" and his newest creation, ABC's "The Goode Family," The Boston Globe reported Sunday.
"I had very liberal parents," said Judge, 46. "Mostly my mom. When I was growing up in Albuquerque, (N.M.) she was into things like organic gardening."
Judge's sense of humor is readily apparent in "Goode" as characters routinely make environmental references such as "WWAGD … What Would Al Gore Do?"
While Judge is enjoying the premiere of his newest TV creation on ABC, he is also saying goodbye to one of his oldest works: "King of the Hill."
Judge told the Globe he feels it is an appropriate time for Fox to cancel "Hill," which premiered on the U.S. TV network in 1997.
"I think it's probably a good time to stop," Judge said. "It's been such a great run, and I'm pretty proud of it."
