The Cleveland Show

[Rhythmbandit]

Starts on E4 next Monday at 10pm with a double bill. From what i've seen so far (not much) its rather disappointing, and the reviews are terrible.

Well you've really sold it to me now :zombie:

GREAT THREAD

I watched the first episode some months ago and I wasn't rushing to see any more of it.

The stupidest thing is the way it feels SO different to Family Guy despite using the same universe - one of his neighbours is a family of bears and I was watching it thinking "that's just STUPID", yet you think almost nothing of Brian as a talking dog in Family Guy.

I've seen the first 11 episodes, to start with it just seems like a cheap cop off of family guy, after watching a few episodes at best it gets on par with a poor episode family guy.

At times it can be funny, like American Dad can be; but it's not really worth watching religiously

[PercyPig]

Is anyone a fan of Cleveland anyway? His biggest moment seems to be falling out of his house in a bath.

He’s hardly Roger in American Dad!.

Are we really surprised it is shit, given it was birthed out of the abomination that is 'Family Guy'?

[Agnetha]

Anyway The Cleveland Show is ALRIGHT. The kid is pretty funny, but I only managed a few episodes...

[smexy]

Oh FUCK OFF you humourless wet little prick...

Charm School STILL not working I see.

[Agnetha]

Has the direct debit for the BNP membership gone through?

[smexy]

No need. I pay by card.

[Agnetha]

OH MY GOD HE ADMITTED IT

what don't you like about Family Guy?

[Agnetha]

People who don't like Family Guy have generally RARELY SEEN IT or TALKED OVER WHOLE EPISODES ABOUT HOW SHIT IS

[smexy]

what don't you like about Family Guy?

The sheer inaneness of it. There's a point at which the random cutaway gag humour becomes stupid.

[Dr Lecter]

I saw the first 3 in the States and i quite liked it

Not as good as AMerican Dad but i can see it hitting its stride

[dUb]

Family Guy is, of course, all kinds of great.

It has even been the subject of acclaimed academic WORKS: http://voyager.aber.ac.uk/vwebv/holdingsInfo?searchId=1658&recCount=10&recPointer=0&bibId=521817

[Toyah]

Seems a pretty pointless spin off to me. It would be like Lenny from the Simpsons getting a spin off. Who'd care?

[POP!]

I never bothered with it, Cleveland has the occasional funny bit but aside from that what about his character warrants his own TV show at all?

[OhSnap]

I gather that their idea was to choose a character that wouldn't really make much difference to Family Guy, so that they could craft a world around them.
Quagmire, and to a lesser extent Joe, are too prominent to remove.


I just don't get why they needed to add yet ANOTHER part to the franchise.
the only thing I found remotely funny was the black afro kid.

anything without stewie or roger is a pile of wank.
