The Cleveland Show is a spinoff of Family Guy

MacFarlane's other two Fox cartoon series, Family Guy and American Dad, have 14 years on the air between them and are both already renewed at least until 2012, so there's no reason to think his monomaniacal fans won't latch onto The Cleveland Show the way they have to the others.All the more so because The Cleveland Show is a spinoff of Family Guy. Cleveland Brown, one of the lower-key characters from that show, now moves to center stage with his rambling, disjointed monologues. ``What the hell? He's getting his own show?'' shouts a disbelieving Stewie, the talking baby in the opening scene as Cleveland sets off to return to his little Virginia hometown and marry his high school sweetheart.It's a complaint that echoes that of some Family Guy fans who considered the phlegmatic Cleveland an unlikely bandleader for the symphony of the inspired gross-outs, juvenile genitalia jokes and general assaults against human decency that make up a MacFarlane show. But actually the dimly befuddled Cleveland works pretty well as a foil to the collection of redneck psycho neighbors, oversexed stepchildren and Russian bears (don't ask) who make up the cast. The Cleveland Show is your typical MacFarlane production, right down to the unprovoked and hilarious cheapshots against show-biz icons like Kathleen Turner (for being too old) Gene Hackman (for being too gay), R. Kelly (for too much scatological sex) and Dolly Parton (for over-mammation).
