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."

    Like American Dad?

    Come on, these types of spinoffs rarely work out (what, like 2 or 3 shows have been able to do this in 50 years).

    Unless you're a fan of crypto-racism. Seriously, who watches that show? The fact that it's on the air makes me worried about the size of the American white supremacist movement.

    Here's a clue: Go back 150 years and Peter Griffen would be the butt of all those not-so-subtle racial sterotypes (he's of the Irish - the erstwhile niggers of Europe).

    All power to the Simpsons in rerun and South Park. Also, Metalocalyse. Down with Family Guy and all other Seth MacFarlane creations.
