The Cleveland Show

I watched the Family Guy spin off last night, The Cleveland Show, and I just don't know where to start. But i do have to ask, why give the deadpan straight guy of a series his own show.

It is obvious that the staffs of the Family Guy and American Dad were not raided to put this show together. It's as if the writers wanted to get back at the Fox Network. After it was over the only thing I could think off was, "King of the Hill was canceled for this."

Wasn't Cleveland Jr. a skinny hyper kid? Maybe his ADHD medication fattened him up and slowed him down.

For a show that has been hyped for almost a year, didn't anyone with any talent screen the finished product to see if it was worth the time? The only thing that kept it from being as bad as the Jack Black's movie, "The Pick of Destiny" was that it was an hour shorter.

It looks like Cleveland will be back in Rhode Island before mid October.

Seth MacFarlane wasn't even involved with the production of this show. That basically sums up the problem.

I told Summer the exact same thing about "King of the Hill". I hate Fox.

That would explain every thing.

The show might have been done by some summer interns.

You ever watch the PJ's? It was an Eddie Murphy clay action kind of cartoon in the late 90's. Ever get a chance...they run it sometimes...don't remember what channel. It is hilarious. Reminds me of the projects over by 15th Street Elementary...While you were in Nash.. I was in the hood.
