The Cleveland Show

Ok, so real talk, I’ve been watching Family Guy since I was in college, and I graduated in 2001.  So when the show got canceled, I was at a loss.  I continued to watch the reruns on Adult Swim at 3 in the morning.  Then my prayers along with several others were answered when the show was brought back to Fox with new episodes.

Fast forward to 2008, and the token black guy, Cleveland, is getting his own show.  Hilarity ensues?

Many years ago, CLEVELAND BROWN (voiced by Mike Henry) was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA. Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he’d be there when she called.

Well, this man done her wrong.

Donna’s husband skipped town with another woman, leaving Donna with a daughter and a baby. Now she’s come to Cleveland and offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously accepts and he and CLEVELAND JR. move to Stoolbend, VA, to join their new family.

Once in Stoolbend, Cleveland has a few surprises in store for him, including a flirtatious new stepdaughter, a 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies, as well as a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck couple, a British family seemingly stuck in the Victorian era and a family of bears living at the end of the block.

Graciously jacked from my dude Des at On221.  I’m looking forward to this.
