What was the point of this show?


It only ran for four years and I was surprised it lasted that long. Seriously, what was the point of making a spin-off of Family Guy?

Money for Seth.

It got even worse when it became a weekly musical segment show for filler. Made it easier on the writers. I'd rather have more bad jokes this lazy cop-out.

Even pussied out on theme song to Fox censors.

original: "...My happy black guy face..."

The show is not as bad as people make it out to be, but I do agree about the musical segments. They are over the top and over done on all three of SM's shows.

I agree... this is the dumbest show I've seen so far. It's soooooo bad. I'm just hoping if not praying it's cancelled. Seth can't be THIS desperate! I respect him and he can be really funny, I've smirked a couple of times but mostly turned the TV off or to a rerun of Scream the TV series which is equally abismal (may be the wrong spelling but you get what I'm trying to say)

So wait... are you currently, in June 2016, praying it's cancelled? If you're so unaware of the status of The Cleveland Show that you didn't know it ended three years ago, what difference would it make to you if it was currently on the air?
In other words, Why bother wishing something was cancelled if you evidently have zero interest in it?

When you have a successful show, why not branch out? Especially with one of the most underdeveloped characters.

The Cleveland show was fifty times funnier than family guy

Well Family Guy must be in the negatives then.

I agree. I love The Cleveland Show. Not only is it my favorite of Seth's big three, it is one of my favorites ever. I know people hate it bit I don't think they gave it a fair shake. The characters are all hilarious and the voice work is top notch. There's a few weak episodes but over all I find the show entertaining and well written.
One man's opinion, possibly literally.

I liked The Cleveland Show.
