This will pay for Seth MacFarlane's 10th house.
Cleveland will rock, just not as soon as people had hoped. Fox today announced that it has pushed the debut of Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show back to fall 2009, erasing hope (and a previous announcement) that it would see the light of day sometime this midseason.
The Cleveland Show was originally scheduled for a spring debut, but a lengthy production schedule for the animated show has forced Fox to opt for a more realistic start date.
But it wasn't all bad news. With word of the show's delay also came word that The Cleveland Show is set for a lengthy debut. Fox ordered a full season of the comedy, granting it 22 episodes right out of the gate.
Fox also revealed that political cougar Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post will be one of the voice actors, providing the words for a talking bear who shares her name.
The Cleveland Show focuses on Peter Griffin's buddy Cleveland Brown as he moves to Virginia with his high school sweetheart, his son, and his sweetheart's two kids. His new neighborhood includes a wannabe hipster, a redneck, and a family of talking bears. Hilarity will most certainly ensue.
More Cleveland at the cost of waiting a little longer... That's a fair trade, right?

i bet it will be cancelled after the 3rd ep
Family guy is one of my favorite tv shows, so I will give this a try. But Cleveland is one of my least favorite characters on the show. We'll see.
I'll give it a chance but Cleveland's voice is painful.
Do we need another spin off?
It just looks like famly guy, but black. And less funny, if thats possible
I can't help but think there are better characters to do a spin off about.
Migrane0: Well, who knows? Maybe they'll stop Family Guy and replace it with this...
Well, I hope this show is better than Family Guy has been recently. I still think the best spin-off is CSI: Miami.
This spin-off will be more interesting than Ben 10: Alien Force and The Suite Life on Deck.
Aww man! I was looking forward to checking this out. At least he's got a full season lined up. Happy for him.
so this crap is the reason theres been no new family guy here for so long? This show will suck. Clevelands not even a very funny character and his sons just annoys the crap out of me.
I guess I can wait for Fall to see this show... Family Guy and American Dad are already good enough.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet..
I would like to see a new show, not this
I can't wait for this one, Family Guy rocks, American Dad is awesome, why should this be any different.
Will family Guy be the same without Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's got to be better than that show King of the Hill... I hate that show. It's this gaping 1/2 hour hole in my Sunday night tv schedule...
So what is going to be shown in spring then? I recall it was supposed to take over American Dad.
A family of talking bears? Im in (Psychonauts lover here)
I don't care what anyone else thinks, I'm happy to see Mike Henry getting his own gig.
i think this show "will" do well...if the humour is anything like Family Guy, it'll be great...looking forward to it
... how can this possibly get a full-season when the world hasn't even seen a pilot. Seth McFarland must have a silver tongue to have convinced FOX to do this.
I think Mort should get his own show.
Love family guy, but will not watch this show cause of huffington, She is a golddigger.
I'll give this show a chance. It could be very entertaining.
can't wait to see it :)
But I want to see it now!
This show is gonna rock...hopefully.
Seth MacFarlane must literally sleep in a big pile of money.
Hm. For a second I was really confused because King of the Hill was just canceled, and when I read this I was thinking that THAT was what the spin-off would be about. Family Guy makes more sense, hopefully it'll be good when it finally arrives :)
Cleveland is the worst charcter on FG not to mention this show is getting a full season which is really dumb.
I don't watch Family Guy, I watch only Simpsons, but I will tune in to The Cleveland Show, but it botheres me that talking bears...
I'm excited for this show. I love Cleveland!Next there should be a Quagmire spin off!
