Wow you guys are pessimistic...I personally can't wait for this show. I ****ing love Cleveland.
I loved family guy. After Fox picked it back up they had some really funny new stuff, but unfortunately it's the recycled scenes of Peter hurting his knee, Stewie still trying to kill Louis, two or three more shots of that gratuitous chicken fight that make me realize that the writers are insulting us. They have the ability to write awesome new material, yet will rely back on old jokes for a cheap laugh...
With that in mind it's easy to be pessimistic. Cleveland's cute and all, but he lacks charisma. Could you imagine listening to his droning voice for half an hour? Probably not. Which is why this show is going to have to focus on the other characters a lot more, making it their show, not is. Which in essence means that Seth is just using an old character not worthy of a spinoff to make some ****ty blaxploitation cartoon that is going to be filled with non-sequitors as Family Guy often was.
Will it turn out like that? Most likely not, but it looks like it easily could in my eyes. I'll still give it a shot and if it's good I'll keep watching it.
So anyone else notice a missing Cleveland Jr?
