At the time it was announced, I thought it was a terrible idea. Now, I'm reassured.
I like Cleveland. But not enough to watch an entire series based on him. It's an even harder sell because I have not liked a lot of Family Guy in recent years. I just preferred the early seasons, when the family actually did things together.
Believe me, I've accepted Family Guy for what it is-random nonsense, no plot, cutaway gags. I can still laugh at that. But this Cleveland Show ain't working. They changed Cleveland Jr, and not for the better. He was likable.
The actual show has more heart than Family Guy, with a plot to follow. Which is in some ways better, but it's still a show based on Cleveland Brown. The kid, Rallo has had a few good moments. "I know ya'll aint leaving without making these beds"
The rest of the cast I am still figuring out, redneck, talking bear, teen daughter, etc. And maybe I'm being too critical this early on. But I'll give it a few more chances, my expectations are pretty low.
That will be on Hulu though, Sunday nights are all about Amazing Race.
