If there's ever a Goode Family episode the VegWorcester readers should check out, it should be this Friday's: "A Goode Game of Chicken" - (Friday 7/10 on ABC 8:30/7:30c) After getting duped into eating “meatless” chili (with chicken in it), Gerald takes on a local BBQ restaurant owner, Cranky. Gerald is then forced to enter a chili-cook off competition in order to win the family dog back. It's light-hearted while still treating the vegan lifestyle with respect. How often are "veg*n heads" represented (and promoted positively) on a network prime-time show these days? This show is at least doing something different than the stale formulaic sitcom.
