The Cleveland Show - Family Guy Spinoff

What do you think?? Of all the people to have a spin off I wouldn't have imagined Cleveland.

Yeah - they have been talking about this show for a year.  I thought it was going to start already.  Guess they were waiting a bit more.  Could be funny.

Look like fun.  Wonder if FG will be getting a new character?  The four of them seemed inseparable.

Saw this just last night.  My wife and I are huge 'Family Guy' fans - and I really wanted to like this show....but I cannot say that I did.

I won't give up on it yet - but for me it wasn't a very good start.

I'm not too down on this show. It's enjoyable. I kind of feel the same as I did about American Dad at the beginning, it's fine. Now I love American Dad.

I'm so-so on it too, but I'll keep watching for now.

I've watched the first 3 or 4 episodes so far. It's so-so... I suppose every new series or spinoff has to find its niche, but for me it doesn't quite seem to gel for me. I mean what is the function of the bear character? Is it like "Oh, Brian works in FG and Roger works in AD, so we'll have another funny talking animal in this one" sort of thing. For me it just doesn't really work. Still, I give it time.

I suppose Cleveland is the character from FG with the most room to set stuff around. I mean Quagmire is really fairly one dimensional on the gags you can do around him, and I think FG have done the handicapped Joe stuff to death (now Death - he could have a fun spinoff!!! :) ). I couldn't see Mort or any of the other more minor FG characters warrant their own stories, so CB seems like a logical choice.

I also like how FG poked fun at itself and the spinoff in the show with Quagmire complaining in one scene, and them talking about Cleveland leaving in one of the recent new season episodes.

This show is slowly starting to grow on me.
