New Family Guy spin off announced - "The Cleveland Show"

[The Nth Doctor]

Cleveland is not only the most boring character of Family Guy, he's the most boring character ever.

*YAWN*

 

[Kryton]

What's your other options? "Rollin' Joe: The Cop Machine" or "Giggity-Giggity with Glenn Quagmire"?

 

[The Great Meech]

What the hell is this? Damn it, Fox...

Well, to be honest, I'd watch "Rollin' Joe: The Cop Machine."

 

[Kryton]

Honestly, I kinda liked that idea the second it popped in my head!

 

[Squiggy]

Go cyborg!

 

[bigdaddy]

Well the Family Guy fanbase seems pretty stupid to me so they need to make a pretty stupid show to go with it.

They should just order more episodes of Futurama.

 

[Paxil]

Great, something else that FOX will Overpromote and pre-empt King of the Hill for.

We can only hope.

 

[Starbreaker]

Oh, the daughter is older, but there's still the fat son and the baby. How original.

 

[nx1701g]

This is made of fail.

Mind you, the parent show stopped being funny in 2004.

Which is mildly entertaining because now it gets nominated for Best Comedy at the Emmy Awards.

 

[Paxil]

Its as good as always. The BTTF spoof last season was one of the best episodes ever.

 

[Skywalker]

Yeah, Family Guy was a little slow getting back on its feet, but after that first season back it's been pretty damn good. Probably not quite as good as the first three seasons, but still great.

 

[TheMurph]

I don't see a Cleveland spin off as being necessary. This is something else that is going to overextend the writing staff and creative juices of McFarlane like American Dad did with FG.

 

[Super Grover]

I wonder how many Manatee gags this show will overuse.

 

[TemporalFlux]

What's your other options? "Rollin' Joe: The Cop Machine" or "Giggity-Giggity with Glenn Quagmire"?

Quagmire seemed like the obvious choice; they had even built a gag into the series where Quagmire had his own show called "That's Quagmire" with an introduction ironically similar to Woody Woodpecker. Quagmire also has infinitely more room for stories given that he's an airline pilot going all over the world; all that needed to do was build a supporting cast for Quagmire to play off of (which is easy enough to create - just introduce his fellow employees).

This Cleavland show unfortunately looks like a black pastiche of Family Guy; the family structure looks practically identical (with an apparently ADHD medicated Cleavland Jr. taking on the role of Chris). The whole thing reeks of laziness, but that's unfortunately been the standard of Family Guy in recent years - lazy writing and copied ideas.

But we weren't really expecting anything original from these guys anyway were we.

 

[AdmiralGarak]

For me, this would be like an "Everybody Loves Hypno-Toad" spin-off from Futurama.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

No...that was unfair. I would likely enjoy Hypno-Toad. All glory to the Hypno-Toad.

Well, we've already gotten an entire episode of "Everybody Loves Hypnotaod", which was pretty popular. So he's probably a bit more worthy of a show than Cleveland.

Adam West goes to Washington?

Hell, they could make a movie of that.

 

[Thrall]

I wonder if the writers will be manatee's as well.

 

[Super Grover]

Probably all of the manatee jokes they didn't have time for in Family Guy.

 

[Paxil]

Funnier than propane, that's for damn sure.
