Looks like Seth MacFarlane is making quick use of the huge Fox deal he signed recently.
First was Family Guy…
then American Dad…
Now it looks like MacFarlane and crew are coming back with what looks like another hilarious ani-sit-com: The Cleveland Show.
From reading a few of the pages from the pilot episode, it looks like it’s very much in the spirit of Family Guy with the cutaway gags, random animals with human characteristics and a black baby who sounds too well informed (like Stewie).
Plus there is one Lindsay Lohan’s aging, gruff-voiced vagina gag that is absolutely hilarious (”Who do I have to fuck to get some soup!“).
I have to admit, I previously avoided the MacFarlane line-ups in the past for the exact same reasons South Park had those infamous “Cartoon Wars” episodes, but thanks to Hulu, Cartoon Network, Fox, the CW, etc I ended up watching basically every friggin’ episode and now I love them! I think American Dad’s Roger as played as a direct rip-off of Paul Lynde is particularly genius!
If you’re not familiar with the MacFarlane shows, you have to check out his stuff on Hulu. It may take two or three episodes to get into it, but it’s well worth it.
At least it kills some time.

Can’t wait. Cleveland Show should be interesting considering it’s probably the first cartoon spinoff.

Thanks for checking out the post, Mike.
Yes, I can’t wait to check out the spinoff. It looks like it’s gonna be another hit for MacFarlane and crew.
cheers.
