The Cleveland Show Season 1
On the way to California, soft-spoken Cleveland Brown and his unruly kids Cleveland Jr make a pit stop at their hometown, where Brown reunites with old high school sweetheart Donna. From that very moment, Brown and his little son are going to have a new life in a new family, together with a rebellious teenage girl, a sharp-tongued boy, and a caring woman.

The guess here is that if you don't know anything about "Family Guy," you'll be watching another network anyway.
September 27, 2009
For a certain segment of the audience - men, boys, evil babies, talking bears - it's likely to go over quite well.
September 27, 2009
You don't really have to be a reactionary to find MacFarlane's comedy revolting, or to see his "art" as the mass-media equivalent of peddling smut to kids, do you?
September 27, 2009
"Family Guy" might have pulled it off; here it's just boring.
September 27, 2009
In three episodes, there's hardly a laugh to be found. Bad taste, we'll accept. Boring we won't.
September 27, 2009
The much larger problem is that Cleveland isn't an inherently interesting, or, worse, funny, character.
September 27, 2009
Yeah, sure, I hated myself for laughing. But, hey. I'm sorry. What can I say? I laughed.
September 27, 2009
It's an acquired taste, but in fundamental commercial terms, it ought to fit right in with Fox's animation block.
September 27, 2009
The Cleveland Show has more warmth that flows from its gentle title character, Cleveland Brown
September 27, 2009
If "The Cleveland Show" isn't quite as sharp-tongued or focused yet as "Family Guy," it's got the eccentricity to fit into broadcast television's most off-center evening.
