Family Guy Spins off Cleveland

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the whens-it-gonna-be-my-turn dept.

E Online is reporting that a new spinoff is currently in the works to feature Cleveland, the soft-spoken neighbor in popular animated sitcom Family Guy. "Not much is known about Cleveland other than the fact it will revolve around the Brown clan. It's unclear whether the series will remain set in the town of Quahog or whether Cleveland, along with his wife and son, will continue to appear on Family Guy, though as both series are animated, the double-billing won't so much be a logistical problem as a creative decision."

    I am sorry you feel that way, I don't have cable. I buy seasons on dvd, so I have watched the series more than most, and in my opinion Quagmire is one of the most shallow one dimensional characters in the series. Granted I love the guy, I love any sexually oriented humor that continues to push the boundaries on broadcast television. But his jokes are generally in your face and lack the nuances alot of the episodes/other characters tend to provide, which can only really be rivaled by Arrested Development. Another show I watch, over and over.


    "Nuanced" is not a word I would apply to Family Guy's humor.

    You don't see any racist jokes in south park or simpsons? What is Apu?

    Besides the most visible, and most respectfully written, Hindu character in mainstream American television?

    Can't outsource voice-overs to India.

    At least until The Simpsons spin off Apu.
