The Cleveland Show

“Everyone’s favorite soft-spoken neighbor CLEVELAND BROWN moves to his hometown in Virginia with his 14-year old son, CLEVELAND JR. Many years ago, Cleveland was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA. Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he’d be there when she called. Well, this man done her wrong.

Donna’s husband ran off, leaving Donna with a teenaged daughter and young son. Now she’s open to Cleveland and offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously unites with Donna, and he and CLEVELAND JR. move to Virginia to join their new family — a rebellious new stepdaughter, ROBERTA, a 5-year old stepson who loves the ladies, RALLO, and a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER, a hipster wanna-be, HOLT, and a family of talking bears: TIM and his wife ARIANNA.”

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE…

At the FOX Upfront, Kevin Reilly ( The entertainment President at FOX  Broadcasting Company), said fans should expect some of the same “outrageous” comedy of Family Guy, but also noted this spinoff would have “a much sweeter tone” thanks to its lead character. The clips quickly showed how the series follows Cleveland and his son moving back to his home town, where he reconciles with and marries his high school sweetheart, who has two kids of her own. Cleveland and the kids don’t get along, and some of the funnier scenes shown involved his five-year old stepson insulting him, along with a very funny moment where he sees that his neighbors are bears (voiced by Seth MacFarlane and Arianna Huffington) and proclaims, “A bear!” only for MacFarlane’s character to reply, “A black man!” and then add, “Doesn’t feel so good, does it?” While it wasn’t clear if the show would use the same “this reminds me of the time…” jokes as Family Guy, a long, amusing run one character has about Jennifer Anniston’s bad luck with relationships and a flashback to how dogs became domesticated by man (hint: it’s not what it seems), showed that the series was filled with some of the same type of non sequiturs Family Guy fans will appreciate. All in all, this looks to be a spinoff that will satisfy fans.
