The Cleveland Show

Most people hate this show because it's a trend to say it sucks. Totally untrue. Its comedy is on par with later Family Guy episodes. No it isn't to die for funny but it will make you genuinely laugh hard plenty of times.

The show failed because too many characters were complete disasters. Tim, Lester, and Holt are God awful. Tim's whole gimmick is sounding like a muppet and being a bear, Lesters whole gimmick is being a moronic redneck, and Holt's whole gimmick is being an unfunny dwarf. Cleveland and Junior are on par with Peter as far as their comedic value. They tone it way down in the Family Guy episodes and I wish I knew why. Cleveland is incredibly relatable and he and Donna are a perfect comedy duo. (WAY better than Peter and Lois as a couple but not funnier than Peter)

Rallo and Roberta are just alright. They're not actually terrible as side characters. Meg and Chris are not funny. I don't care who disagrees. An episode of Family Guy will never focus on them because they are not interesting enough to be more than side characters. We're pretty much getting the same thing with Rallo and Roberta. Junior however is pretty funny.

I wish this show wasn't cancelled but changed instead. Like if they got rid of Cleveland's friends and replaced them with funnier characters it would work.

Can't understand the hate reviews here. It's an offshoot of family guy with Cleveland as the lead and he carries it well. He's a hilarious character! Not sure why people don't like it, even after reading the reviews. I'm guessing people are turning this into a race thing, which is disappointing.

The Cleveland Show is a decent television series with some good episodes,a few great episodes and a fair share of very weak episodes.The show started off very promising,I really enjoy the first season,the second season was pretty good,it dropped down in comedy largely in the that's season,and the fourth season was painfully unfunny and filled with very weak storyline's.I think the show didn't have great material to work with,Cleveland was not the right character to give a spin off to,I think of so many Family Guy characters that could have a much better series,I think the writers are aware of this because they changed Cleveland's personality to a huge degree,I think at times he was just very unlikeable,and he isn't the only character that I found unlikeable (Donna,Holt,Cleveland Jr,etc.).My favourite characters on the show were definitely Rallo and Tim (the only character voiced by Seth MacFarlane),Rallo was usually the side story character and I normally enjoyed his role in an episode more than the actual plot.The shows best moments is when they make a reference to Family Guy,when a character from the show makes a cameo or Cleveland mentions a moment from the show,but that wasn't a good sign that does moments are the ones I loved the most,because it shows that I had to be reminded of a different show to enjoy.I watched to Cleveland Show because I watch anything they Seth MacFarlanes involved with,but the show is very hit and miss and it's watchable if there's nothing else on,but not worth buying a box set or anything like that.

Cleveland leaves Quahog with his son Cleveland Jr. to star a new life with in his hometown Stoolbend,where he meets Donna Tubbs,an old love interest of his.They get married,but now Cleveland is forced to deal with her disrespectful children,Roberta and Rallo.

Best Episode: Die Semi-Hard Worst Episode: Dancing with the Stools

Best show ever and i dont know why everyone rates it so bad.

When I first heard that there was going to be this show, my first thought was, "What? A show centered around a somewhat bland supporting character from FAMILY GUY?" But I decided I would give the show a chance. After all, there have been stranger premises that have worked.

Later, I found out that the character of Cleveland Jr. had been changed from a (hilarious) hyperactive young boy into a fat and slow teenager. But I decided I would still give the show a chance. Maybe this revised character would be funny.

A day before the show first aired, I was surfing the Internet and came across a selection of reviews of the show. They were almost all negative. But I was still willing to give the show a chance. Sometimes critics are wrong.

The next day, I watched the pilot episode. It was terrible. But I decided I would still give the show a chance. Sometimes writers need time to polish their writing for a new show.

As I write this, I've watched some more episodes of the show. And I think I can say now that this show simply doesn't work. It's not very funny - it seems to be written by teenaged fans of FAMILY GUY who have no professional writing experience. Not only that, the show is cursed by some characters that are a major turn-off. They are not only written to be annoying, they have some of the worst voice acting I've heard in a cartoon series.

This show will get no more chances from me.
