      Finally

      I watch the Cleveland show every week hoping it will get better. I don't ever mind the jokes, but like Family guy and the current Simpsons; this show was a hollow laugh machine. I like my shows like I like my women, and my beer; something that can make me giggle and choke, but have some substance to let me enjoy it slowly.

      Terrible metaphor aside, I thought this episode finally did what the show needed to do for 3 seasons now. ADD CHARACTER.

      I won't spoil anything but the final 6 minutes of this episode made me laugh, yet gave me a sentimental grin. This is something now Seth Mcfarlane show had done for me in a long time.

      Keep it up Cleveland show team!!!

      • Trivia
        In an earlier episode, Donna reveals a hatred for Phylicia Rashad, wanting to kill her. Here Phylicia Rashad plays Donna's mother, Dee Dee.
      • Goofs
        Donna has a sister called Janet so technically Dee Dee has two daughters. Also Dee Dee wouldn't have the the last name Tubbs, since that's Donna's first husband Robert's last name.
