The Cleveland Show - season 1 *spoiler*

[Dont be a lemon]

Yes, the Family Guy spin off based around Cleveland Brown finally premieres in the US at 10.30am AEST this Monday

And bad news for all of you Cleveland haters because FOX has ordered a full 22 episode first season AND an initial 13 episodes for a second season so there will be at least 35 episodes. So let us hope it's good

Any news if it is coming to Foxtel?

 

[Cleavy]

might take a few eps to find its feet, and then there's THE BEAR!

This will just be the leaked episode from a while back that sucked balls, yes?

Ten have the first run rights but I wouldn't be surprised if Foxtel have the rights for repeat airings.

Just watched it. Man, that was bad. Really bad. It was a big error of judgment to base a new show on Cleveland - they should have gone with Quagmire or Joe instead.

I watched the pilot today. Got a few laughs out of me

I have watched the first 2 eps.....it kinda sucks. I will keep trying to see if it improves. But so far so bad.

Is it a different type of humour (ie directed more at black demographic in the US), or is it just the same type of Family Guy humour done badly?

There's a lot of black jokes (even the 'between scenes' music is sort of a cliche of black sitcom music) and a lot of redneck jokes (it's set in Virginia).

Has some "this is x y the time" jokes in each episode but far less than Family Guy.

Same family guy humour but it is more directed at the black demographic. My dad is African American and I went to live in New York for half a year so I understand the puns a fair bit better than I expect you guys would.

Silo and the Bear are gold. Cleveland himself isn't very funny.

White guy doing black comedy

Sounds like a barrel of laughs.

As it happens, aside from Cleveland, all the black characters are voiced by black people.

I thought it was utter shite. Society is going downhill if crap like this gets put on the air, the talentless Seth MacFarlane must laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[Cleavy]

just not very good

 

[Kram]

Three shows now with pretty much the exact same formula.

 

[Atavistic]

Well, I watched two episodes. That's enough for me, unless Cleveland moves back to Quahog...

 

[IbbosBFF]

I guess you white guys just don't get it

I guess you white guys just don't get it

guilty as charged here

 

[King Elvis]

Damn Honkeys!

 

[06Premiers]

first two eps sucked hard, but the third was pretty good imo. i think it will just need some time to grow.

White Cleveland

 

[Atavistic]

4th episode was tops. Worth the 37MB download.

 

[MrEAGLES]

First off all Ive got all of family guy on DVD, love Family Guy.

American Dad was a step down...had a few laughs though!

But this is just pure s**t. 100% concentrated s**t! Cleveland wasnt even funny in Family Guy...he was just boring...

and thats what this show is...BORING!!

I strongly recommend no one make the mistake of watching it!
