And so, the summer drought begins by turketron_2	May 27th, 2009 01:53:42 PM
How long until we start feeling the effects? Time to pick up a new show or two that I haven't gotten into yet and dive into some episodes. Mad Men, True Blood, Dollhouse - here I come!
Quit watching KotH by wintocha67	May 27th, 2009 02:00:52 PM
When it got all religious.
I fucking HATED King Of The Hill by The_Man_Behind_The_Curtain	May 27th, 2009 02:04:55 PM
Still, I'll give this a go.
I find it utterly amazing.... by cookylamoo	May 27th, 2009 02:28:06 PM

That people don't kill themselves on Wipeout. Maybe they simply edit out the ones who do.
King of the Hill wasn't funny by JoeSixPack	May 27th, 2009 02:32:54 PM
and lasted all those years. This show actually looks good.
Did King of the Hill get a final episode? by drewlicious	May 27th, 2009 02:34:58 PM
Or did it just stop this year? I was kind of hoping that show would have gotten a decent sendoff, it certainly deserved it. As for "The Goode Family," I'm not terribly optimistic because the jokes might be funny I can tell just by looking at it I won't get emotionally attached to those characters. King of the Hill had great charactes, especially Hank who reminded me of my own Dad at times. Plus it wasn't afraid to make the wives look foolish. I was kind of sick of seeing shows where the woman is virtuous one hundred percent of the time, this felt more like a real relationship as tv marriages go. The only one I like better, Homer and Marge of course. Can you honestly find a married couple on TV (or in movies for that matter) who are more in love?
King of the hill sucked by Dhaemon	May 27th, 2009 02:37:42 PM
The animation style sucked
No reason to watch this by haggardatbest	May 27th, 2009 02:42:13 PM
Hear Abby Elliott but not see her? No thanks, but I do love non-KOTH Mike Judge.
Yes, I know its been referenced before but by skimn	May 27th, 2009 02:45:13 PM
I liked Wipeout much better as MXC with the dubbed announcing. As for Goode, lampooning the PC crowd may be good for a while, but it seems to be a limited target. The beauty of KOTH is that Hank Hill stubbornly tiptoed into the 21st century, despite his fear and loathing of ALL things not of his 1950ish viewpoint.
Saying that KOTH's animation style sucked by skimn	May 27th, 2009 02:47:06 PM
is like saying South Park looks like construction paper cutouts, so its not worthy of attention. Stupid.
Hank was a character that made you depressed by Dhaemon	May 27th, 2009 02:48:29 PM

Hank is a character I aspired to by Quin the Eskimo	May 27th, 2009 03:03:27 PM
I wish I cared that much about my lawn.
Loved KotH, loved B&B... by Thrillho77	May 27th, 2009 03:09:09 PM
I'm sure I'll at least LIKE The Goode Family. Mike Judge, in MY opinion, is batting 1.000
Hank and everyone else in the group made you depressed by Dhaemon	May 27th, 2009 03:17:05 PM
Even the damn dog was depressed. Rednecks are not funny, you may giggle first, but in the end you feel sorry for their backwards way of life! Jesus for 2012!
Bizarro World Hank Hill family? by Kid Z	May 27th, 2009 03:19:08 PM
... I mean, that's basically the gist of this series, right?
Why the KOTH hate? by Kid Z	May 27th, 2009 03:22:55 PM
Maybe the humor was too subtle for most here? The show had a 14 year run, they must have gotten some things right. Damn FUX for just tossing it in the garbage without so much as a series finale. Rupert Murdoch really is Satan.
ABC by Toonol	May 27th, 2009 03:56:34 PM
I haven't watched a show on ABC in years, but I'll give this a try.
King of the HIll backwards? by drewlicious	May 27th, 2009 04:07:48 PM
A lot of the country identified with that show, especially in the midwest. A number of the characters were rednecks and weirdos but the show never condescended to them. As for adapting to the 21st century, a lot of what Hank was averse to was pretty much understood to be ridiculous by everyone. Not that there weren't some things at his expense (the pimp episode and his reaction Bush's weak handshake were hysterical). California should be so lucky to get the same treatment from Mike Judge that he gave to Texas.
King of the Hill was really funny but by Hey_Zeus	May 27th, 2009 04:33:46 PM
could it have been just as funny live-action? of course, bobby would have grown up... but aside from that, why did it need to be a cartoon? still sorry it was cancelled.
Drewlicious, I think Judge is satarizing Austin for Goodes by mjgtexas	May 27th, 2009 04:49:54 PM
and not a moment too soon.
I sell propane and propane accessories by Nasty In The Pasty	May 27th, 2009 05:16:07 PM
Yep.
African american by punto	May 27th, 2009 05:16:14 PM
well, now that the president is black, do you really want to call him "african-american"? he's not president of "africa-america".. if anyone gets to be "american", it's him
Did you guys see that one episode of King of the Hill by Dapper Swindler	May 27th, 2009 05:18:35 PM
...where this far out and liberal new concept comes to Arlen. And Bobby embraces it immediately. And then Peggy eventually embraces it. Meanwhile Hank is skeptical. Then after Peggy and Bobby have gone overboard with the new thing, Hank sets out on a mission to prove that this new thing is bad and he must expose it. Finally, at the climax the new thing blows up and everyone sees just how bad it really is. And everyone learns that the status quo was really the best thing and new things are always bad. ??????
Can't recall much thats "liberal.." by drewlicious	May 27th, 2009 05:27:58 PM
But I've seen plenty of new age stuff that got lampooned. Yoga, idiotic alternative teaching methods, everybody-gets-a-trophy sports teams, soccer. Crazy stuff that never catches on for a reason. God forbid anything positive be portrayed in Texas. Next thing you know you're gonna tell me "Tender Mercies" was born again crap simply because the main character finds some religion.
Dapper Swindler by Thrillho77	May 27th, 2009 05:34:50 PM
....no. But I did like the one where Hank is able to embrace the new thing, while maintaining his general way of life, thus resulting in a happy, moderate marriage of conservatism AND progressiveness.
Thrillho by 100Proof	May 27th, 2009 06:46:26 PM
Don't remember that one... but that could be because I stopped watching KotH after the 3rd episode when I realized Mike Judge expended every ounce of creativity in his body on Office Space and was doomed to dryheave out half-baked movie ideas and startlingly unfunny animated dreck for the remainder of his career. Too bad, really...
KotH was brilliant by Friendo	May 27th, 2009 08:10:58 PM
A dimensional ensemble of characters and stories with heart... neither condescending nor pandering to the Types portrayed and utterly culturally relevant during the whole Cracker Zeigteistm (the Bush Era), and Funny. I even like the crude animation style (a notch above Beavis & Butthead). Better than most live action sit-coms by a mile, it has more in common with convention comedy than it does with stuff like Family Guy or Aqua Teen Hunger Force. KotH was one of the few artifacts of those years that I will look back on with fondness. Mike Judge understands human beings and the human condition like few others and he's naturally funny. And Idiocracy was amazing. Etc. etc etc
Beavis&butthead's Hippy teacher by Rufferto	May 27th, 2009 08:14:52 PM
gets a formulaic "family" primetime "cartoon"! YAY! Hey it worked for their wacky neighbor Mr. Anderson! Stop wackin' in my camper and watch. This is very original, I tell yuh wut.
Re: Mike Judge by ArmageddonProductions	May 27th, 2009 08:17:01 PM
Judge gets a free pass for life from me for OFFICE SPACE and IDIOCRASY alone. However, how many ancillary "Beavis & Butt-head" characters is he planning on mining for their own series? First, he slightly altered the "Mr. Anderson" character (but used the same voice and mannerisms) for "King Of The Hill". Now, it appears he's doing virtually the same thing with "Mr. Van Dreisen" for this show. Is there a funny gym teacher series in the pipeline, too?
the abc add didn't mention B and B by Rufferto	May 27th, 2009 08:18:22 PM
A wise decision. Stick with wuts safe, Mr. Judge. Like selling propane. You'll never go wrong.
Principal McDicker Should get one! by Rufferto	May 27th, 2009 08:20:14 PM
I'm not even being sarcastic. That character was awesome. But if he has to have a family I hope their really screwed up and he has a heart attack at the end.
or was it McVicker? by Rufferto	May 27th, 2009 08:21:49 PM
Uh uhuhuuhuhuhuhhh
This show is HILARIOUS! by SnowDogs	May 27th, 2009 08:22:53 PM
"Since the election we can all wear flag pins now!" Liberals everywhere aren't going to like being so viciously skewered finally...this show is a freaking riot! Thank God for Mike Judge!!
This isn't working at all. by NapoleonDynamite	May 27th, 2009 08:27:05 PM
KOTH was grounded in authenticity and realism. This is not. The Hills seemed like areal people. These are just straw liberals. Nobody really acts or talks like this. It's like a right wing fantasy of what liberals are like. Very disappointing. I've been a fan of everything Mike Judge has ever done, but this looks like a fail so far. It's just fatuous potshots at strawman lefties.
I didn't have much hope for this... by nemov	May 27th, 2009 08:37:22 PM
but it was pretty funny. The flag pin stuff was hilarious. Plus, the fact the white kid from South Africa is considered an African-American is awesome. I assume this episode will be a bit over the top since it's a pilot, but so far so good.
"Liberals everywhere aren't going to like being so viciously ske by NapoleonDynamite	May 27th, 2009 08:37:48 PM
"Skewring" only works if it's based on truth. This show is not. That stupid flag pin line has nothing to do with reality. Fuck, conservatives are stupid.
NapoleonDynamite by nemov	May 27th, 2009 08:41:05 PM
Please tells us the reality about the flag pin? Our President chose not to wear one until he was a viable candidate for election. It's certainly an issue worthy of satire.
Totally realistic, Napoleon by SnowDogs	May 27th, 2009 08:54:09 PM
I told you you guys would get upset. Fucking awesome.
To the contrary, Nappy by jdb1972	May 27th, 2009 08:56:02 PM
I know several leftists who are this terminally clueless.
I am shocked and offended by this show! by The Dum Guy	May 27th, 2009 09:14:44 PM
How dare they mock the Memphis conventions.
There was nothing remotely realistic about it. by NapoleonDynamite	May 27th, 2009 09:49:53 PM
Everything you guys think you know about "liberals" is what you hear on Limbaugh and Hannity, and read in Ann Coulter books. You guys probably thought that Ben Stein Creationism movie was hilarious and incisive too, didn't you?
I didn't think King of the Hill was funny until by smackfu	May 27th, 2009 09:52:53 PM
I started dealing with southern Americans as a result of my job, after that I realized that the show is sheer genius.
Hey Napoleon, it's a cartoon by SnowDogs	May 27th, 2009 10:37:25 PM
It's not supposed to be realistic, it's supposed to be a satire. It's making fun of you liberals, and your dearly bleeding hearts.
This show was Ok... by WS	May 27th, 2009 11:13:38 PM
...and it'll probably get better as it goes along, but it needs to actually be a little tougher on its main characters; they aren't so much skewered as marshmellow bombed. And, part of what was so cool about "King of the Hill" is that it portrayed characters who you don't really get to see on primetime TV that much - if you see them at all they're usually the bad guys. With "The Goode Family", it's just not as interesting to watch white liberals, since TV is pretty much nothing but that - this series could almost be called "The Lisa Simpson Show". If you want to see white liberals really get skewered. I recommend watching "Trading Spouses" or the "Fiction" segment of Tod Solondz's "Storytelling".
Nobody really acts or talks like this? by Eddie_Dane	May 27th, 2009 11:29:39 PM
Please. Come to New York where Ben and Jerry's once opened a store completely staffed by homeless people. Yummy. Or where a white guy told me that the time he was yelled at on the street by Hebrew Israelites made him more aware of what black people must go through every day.
Truth! any "Bob Saget" show = "dreck" by finky089	May 27th, 2009 11:31:59 PM

I liked it. by Kid Idioteque	May 28th, 2009 12:24:24 AM
The dog stuff was great, but I also appreciated it because stuff from this POV is sorely lacking on television. And I've known people who live like this...
I enjoyed it by Bloo	May 28th, 2009 01:01:01 AM
I thought it was going to be THE GOOD LIFE/GOOD NEIGHBORS (BBC show from the 70's) filtered though Judge but it really was it's own thing, although I did think there for a minute Andy Dick was doing the voice of the Dad. South African adopted son and the dog were the best parts. Wish the animation style differed a little from KOTH unless he's planning on a crossover or something to help end KOTH (i.e. the Dad's glasses are the same "make" as Hanks, their black neighbor looked a lot like the hispanic co-worker of Hanks voiced by Trejo)...Brian Doyle Murphy should have had more, assuming he will as it goes along
It was awful. Is Herc ever right about anything? by JuanSanchez	May 28th, 2009 01:18:24 AM

i hope this show by animas	May 28th, 2009 01:50:59 AM
has a character who is very liberal and is embarrassed by his fellow liberals, because that is basically me.
King of the Hill, the best non-50s cartoon ever made... by JackPumpkinhead	May 28th, 2009 02:25:27 AM
...as evidenced well by the number of imbeciles who "hate" it (i.e. are too moronic to understand it) - each of them no doubt a lover of "Family Guy" - so here's to the hopeful return of the best show. But this sounds funny, too. I hope they'll jab the Teleprompter in it often, too; will he speak in Austrian?
Huzzah! No snide Family Guy/American Dad remarks! by The Wrong Guy	May 28th, 2009 05:08:04 AM
There's a first. Kudos to you, Herc. Kudos.

Judge's Animated Answer To An American Carol by mjgtexas	May 28th, 2009 08:01:57 AM
My favorite episodes of KOTH was when he did skewer losers who abused loopholes in governemnt laws, i.e. the American Disabilities Act and overreliance of school bureaucrats to pump kids up with ADD meds. This was comparable to Zucker's trite American Carol, one note and lazy, a trait I never associated with Mike Judge.
KING OF THE HILL is one of my favorite shows ever by ThusSpakeSpymunk	May 28th, 2009 09:11:13 AM
I really admire the characters who, despite their flaws, are there doing the best they can in the proverbial "world they never made." They're GOOD PEOPLE, at the core, the core group of characters, and Hank is an admirable man - fully-realized, too, which is rare for American TV, much less animated fare. I was always impressed that the writers never EVER sacrificed the characters for the story - or vice-versa. The characters in that show are a lot bigger and deeper than initial glance might lend you to believe - they all have their "arcs" to quote the LOST/BSG fans. Incidentally, I've heard rumblings that with the collapse of SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP almost instantly, KING OF THE HILL may be back after all ...
Interesting, Napoleon by bah	May 28th, 2009 09:40:17 AM
Satirize right-wingers, it's based on fact. Satirize left-wingers, it's totally unrealistic. Got it.
Animation degredation by Kentucky Colonel	May 28th, 2009 09:48:59 AM
sad to see FOX cancel this, and what a butt fuck if we don't get a "farewell" episode. I, for one, love the absolute brainlessness of "Wipeout". After watching six episodes of The Wire yesterday it was refreshing to see a bunch of idiots fall down. Yin to my Yang. The Washington Post gave "TGF" a hummer (and two articles) in yesterday's edition. I'll watch, for sure, but it's gonna take a lot to best KOTH. I'm about as far removed from Hank Hill as can be, but I still love the guy! I'd love to see a B&B spinoff featuring the gym teacher...KICK ME IN THE JIMMY!!!
HIt and miss. by Mooly	May 28th, 2009 10:00:10 AM
Thought Goode family has a solid foundation but felt most of the jokes fell flat because there were just WAY too many crammed in. They probably felt that was the best way to show who these people are, and to establish the concept...but it felt like WAY WAY too many attempts at humour right off the start. Most of the funny stuff I thought was more story related and not forced...like how their adopted african baby is white, or how the daughter rebels by chosing abstinence and going to a charity ball, or the bit about flag pins. But I agree that some of the jokes about their extreme political correctness felt forced and made them seem more stupid than extreme leftist. I'll probably watch again to see if they can find the right balance. Plus, although I am a lefty myself, it is refreshing to see this show as a balance to shows like Family Guy and King of the Hill which were more about right-wingers and/or rednecks. Oh, and it is my guilty confession that I enjoy me some Wipeout. I try NOT to like it because it is so cheap and such a weak idea, but then someone gets punched in the face or takes a crazy fall and I'm hooked.
KotH is like folks say Jazz is by Himbo	May 28th, 2009 10:03:53 AM
Either you get it or you don't. It transcends description at times. How can you explain the awesomeness of the Ghost of Buckley bouncing on his trampoline with LuAnne? Or the scene where Hank's insurance is in limbo for 24 hours, and the block becomes a disaster without him (killer bees, grease fires, panicky neighbors)? I still watch King on repeats. I haven't watched Simpsons in years. I never liked Familiy Guy. I saw this Goode premiere and it had it's moments. I'll tune in again for the 3 weeks it is likely to run.
Fox did the same thing to Married with Children. by TheLastCleric	May 28th, 2009 10:04:55 AM
That show ran 11 seasons, generated billions in syndication revenue, and even maintained a loyal audience when they dumped it on Saturday nights and at the end they completely screwed the fanbase and the show's staff with a weak season finale and a black screen at the end thanking everybody.
It wasn't "Goode" enough! by Fareal	May 28th, 2009 10:19:14 AM
I saw it last night and I wasn't impressed. I have to wait until 2010 for Lost to come back. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
TheLastCleric, maybe you remember this by Big Jim	May 28th, 2009 10:19:19 AM
I was watching a Married With Children retrospective (A&E, or E, or whatever) and it mentioned that the cast got the call the show was cancelled the day after the season finale aired. Yet I'm certain I watched that season finale knowing it was the series finale. I believe I watched it because it had been advertised as such (had stopped watching the show a few years earlier). I remember after watching it what a lame way to end such a long-running series. So, who is right? Am I right in remembering the last episode as being advertised as the Series Finale? Or was the documentary right in saying the show was cancelled after the last episode had aired?
They lifted a joke from The Office by Captain Tragedy	May 28th, 2009 11:27:45 AM
The one about collard and colered greens was in an office episode during Michael's Diversity Day where he basically has the same conversation with Stanley. so theres that.
eh by CaptainAxis	May 28th, 2009 11:29:01 AM
Not bad, but it does seem like a caricature of how conservatives perceive liberals, whereas King of the Hill seemed to sympathize more with its characters. Hank never had any of the more over-the-top conservative stereotypes (I don't recall him being overly crazy about guns and God, or displaying any overt racism) while the Goode Family so far appears to ONLY be liberal stereotypes. However, we're only one episode in and I see potential for the family to go through similar character development, where they realize that maybe their way isn't always the best way.
Homeless people running a Ben and Jerry"s by drewlicious	May 28th, 2009 11:52:34 AM
What was that like? I suppose on one end you could say it was a lot of people who were totally employable but had wrecked credit or whatever, and the other end you have the more hilarious situation of whacked out derelicts trying to serve you tooty fruity only instead calling you a devil dog and throwing what you hope is chocolate in your face.
Big Jim by TheLastCleric	May 28th, 2009 12:15:20 PM
I don’t remember much advertising for the finale (they had basically dumped the show in a garbage time slot to justify terminating it) but I clearly remember the finale having a black screen that said something to the effect of “thank you for a million laughs.” It was definitely filmed like a season finale and not a series finale so the abrupt nature of the cancellation seems believable but I swear they included that small addendum at the end. I distinctly remember being pissed that such a small token gesture was all the show got after being such a cash cow for Fox.
If you're offended by "Strawmen", by Chief Joseph	May 28th, 2009 12:49:59 PM
You should also be offended by Stan Smith on American Dad. No conservatives act like he does.
Extract by Kankennon	May 28th, 2009 12:50:04 PM
I could barely get through 10 minutes of this painfully unfunny drivel. I'm thinking that Mike Judge has intentionally made an animated series destined for a quick cancellation simply because he's tired of making a weekly show yet is required to fulfill the contractual obligations he evidently signed while in a drunken stupor. I'll be waiting for Extract.
Now that I think about it... by CaptainAxis	May 28th, 2009 12:54:45 PM
Maybe Judge is using these liberal caricatures to show conservatives that our core values are basically the same. By the end of the show, it was made clear that the parents didn't actually WANT their daughter to have sex. Most right-wingers seem to think that informing your children about birth control is the same as encouraging them to have sex, and the Goode Family answered that quite nicely by the end of the episode. I look forward to seeing how they handle other such cultural issues. Abortion would be interesting, but I don't see ABC going there.
Chief Joseph by CaptainAxis	May 28th, 2009 01:00:57 PM
Re: Stan Smith, I suggest you check out FreeRepublic. On the contrary, I don't think American Dad goes far enough in lampooning hardcore conservatives.
Why didn't you fuckers watch Sit Down, Shut Up!.... by DanielKurland	May 28th, 2009 02:03:04 PM
It performs so poorly it doesn't even get to AIR its fifth episode. What was so wrong with it? I think you all wanted to hate it just because it wasn't Arrested Development. Did you watch it though? The jokes they made were EXACTLY the kind that Arrested made. It was as close to being an animated AD as you could be. Anyways, I loved it, and I also highly enjoyed Goode Family, and if SDSU has to be gone, hopefully this won't be canceled like so many other great things.
KOTH is also one of my all time favorites... by DanielKurland	May 28th, 2009 02:13:42 PM
And it's crazy how so many people hate it! It has the most real characters anywhere on television, that are defined to an insane degree. I am happy to see there is at least some love for it here.
The dad is basically a liberal Hank Hill by terry1978	May 28th, 2009 05:39:06 PM
Persona wise, they're both pretty much the same if you watched last night. He comes off as wanting to be p.c., but he's not unlikeable.
I kind of like Stan by drewlicious	May 28th, 2009 05:44:55 PM
Compared to Peter anyway. They're both buffoons but at least Stan's motivated. Peter just seems content to act like he's five, and Homer already did that and much better.
I liked it, but ABC's burying it. by AzulTool	May 28th, 2009 06:46:50 PM
If they had any hopes for it, they would've waited until Fall. It's DOA. Also, KOTH has 6 more episodes set for after the World Series. So, hopefully, we'll get a proper send off.
unbelievably bad by Messyjoe	May 28th, 2009 07:26:55 PM
This show is totally unfunny. Politically correct people need to be shafted, no doubt, but this show is not doing it. Maybe next time. The characters look so weird! The wife looks about 40, the husband looks about 20, the daughter looks about 30, and the fat kid looks older than the husband. If you want to see it, do it now, because it's not going to last.
CaptainAxis by Chief Joseph	May 28th, 2009 07:49:23 PM
I see what you're saying, but Stan Smith is portrayed pretty inconsistently. Sometimes he'll be shown talking to his gun like his best friend. But later he goes OOC and becomes so gay-friendly that he tries being gay. Those freepers would never do that
Saw the show today by Chief Joseph	May 28th, 2009 07:57:37 PM
Not bad. IIRC, King of the Hill sounded like a boring concept and didn't really knock my socks off in its pilot. (Looking back on it now, it even seems "slower" than the curent KOTH.) Yet that turned out great. As to why some people detest KOTH, I don't know. I'm not going to play the "maybe you're not intelligent enough to get it" card, because I hate it when people say that about a TV show. It may legitimately be a cultural thing. You may need to have a passing familiarity with Texas or suburban American culture.
Not bad by bah	May 28th, 2009 08:49:20 PM
Just watched it. It had the typical awkward pilot start but got much better by the end. I'll watch a few more. And to the naysayers: I have to shop at Whole Foods because of food allergies, and these people do exist.
Why didn't you fuckers watch Sit Down, Shut Up!.... by Series 7	May 28th, 2009 11:39:41 PM
Because it sucked. I did watch it and I wish I could get money back from someone. And I wasn't expecting AD, I was expecting another failed attempt for American TV to copy a foreign show.
re: Sit Down, Shut Up by Chief Joseph	May 29th, 2009 04:24:26 PM
The character designs were REALLY ugly and off-putting. Don't need to see a permanently nipped-out male character.
Just saw it by drewlicious	May 29th, 2009 08:27:58 PM
A little sketchy at first but it got better. It has potential provided it develops more affection for the characters. I'm glad they're not jabbing at just one lifestyle here, it wouldn't shock me if there is an abstinence movement like that out there somewhere. We already have purity rings being marketed by Disney. The expression the dogs face kills me, poor thing just looks desperately hungry all the time.

Sure it petered out at the end but anything that pokes fun at the tree-huggin' bunny-lovin' Birkenstock babies is awesome in my book. Hopefully it will follow the same path that Dollhouse did...first two episodes blew but then got interesting by the end of the season.

And smiled about a dozen more. As sitcoms go, that's pretty much a home run, for me. My favorite: "We can't shop there -- they don't even have a mission statement!"
