  • First 2 seasons and crap.

    9.5
    Well, I hope that if this show gets cancelled. Seth will once again have 2 shows in his hands and maybe Family Guy could improve.



    Fox NUKE this disaster to save Family Guy from its recent flat jokes.

    Season 10-11 are garbage.



    UPDATE:

    I think it could work, but I noticed that ever since Family Guy became gave up on this show while woundering what happened to Family Guy.



    Both had rating drops.

    The Cleveland Show got nuked the hardest.
  • Well, this show is bad...

    The title says it all. I miss King of the Hill. Take this sh*tty Cleveland Show off the air and put King of the Hill back on or at least a KOTH spin-off.

    This show is so bad it makes Family guy look good.

    I always enjoy the works of Seth MacFarlane and love to watch Family Guy or American Dad but when I heard of The Cleveland Show, a spin off of Family Guy, I was a little worried.I know spin-offs are not as good as the show they come from, but I never thought The Cleveland Show would be this bad. The show's characters are blatant rip-offs of Family Guy and they are unlikeable and Cleveland's new friends are just plain stupid. Rallo is easily the worse member of the family, he tries to be this awesome kid, but in reality he's just an annoying baby with an afro that rivals Shafts. Part of the problem is that everyone can understand Rallo whereas in Family Guy, only Brian understood Stewie, and in some episodes, the show breaks the fourth wall and everyone can understand Stewie, but in Cleveland's show, since everyone can understand Rallo, all his humor is just as dry as the rest of the show. Tim the Bear comes off as a big mistake, some people say he's funny but I have not seen him do a funny moment yet and is whatever humor he tries to do is unfunny. Cleveland Brown JR. was a complete disgrace, I know there was a brief back story as to why he's fat, but I liked him when he was as hyper as Speedy Gonzales not when he was like Fat Albert's idiotic and unfunny cousin. Donna is actually the most tolerable of the family, she rips off Louis but she does provide very few funny moments. Roberta is actually a rip off of Hayley from American Dad, she is just as whiny and unlikeable as her counterpart and she even has a boyfriend who looks almost like Jeff Fisher. The rest of the neighbors are boring and provide no comedy whatsoever. There are too few moments of actual comedy and the rest of the comedy is just way too dry, and I like dry humor. All the plots are uninteresting and the side plots are just as unfunny as the main plot. There are times that some Family Guy cast members make a cameo appearance but I think it's because Seth is trying to make the show funny with their appearance but it fails like the rest of the show. I watched through all the episodes of season 1 of this show and see if it got progressively better like American Dad, but it hasn't at all. Some people argue come on let it grow, you know what? No, I gave this show more than enough chances and it hasn't gotten better. Compare this show to American Dad, in season 1 the show wasn't really funny and at season 2, it got funnier. In The Cleveland Show's case, we have begun season two with humor that is still unfunny and characters that are still boring and flat. It's hard to believe that this show canceled the beloved King of the Hill. In the end, this show just fails on many levels, the characters are rip offs and uninteresting, the plots are unoriginal ,the humor is unfunny and whatever funny moments there are they are too far from each other, and it's just a stupid idea. What idiot at FOX is letting this show stay on the air and why? Someone at FOX needs to cancel this show and put King of the Hill back on the air, that show had better comedy and characters than this drek. Even if you are a huge fan of Seth's works this is one show to avoid at all costs, maybe if we don't watch it, it will end. Let's start that trend to end this show.
  • Not as bad as family guy

    3.0
    This is bad but not as bad as family guy
  • This Show Is the WORST Adult Cartoon Ever AndDefinitely In My Top 5 List In The Worst T.V Shows Ever.. This How Is SO Bad I Could Not Handle The First 5 Minutes...

    Seth Macfarlane Thought It Was A Good Idea To Give Cleveland His Own Show Even Though He Is The UnfunniestCharacter Of The Show,Seth Macfarlane Thought That Idea Was Good Because So He Could Put A Ton Of Racist Jokes......




    The Thing I Mostly Hate About This Show It Is SO BORING!!!!! This Show is Boring Because ThePlot-lines Are Stupid Boring!!!!!!.....




    Second Of All The Jokes... The Jokes Are So Unfunny AND LAME....Even The New FG Episodes Have Better Jokes...The Jokes Are So Unfunny, Beside Most Of Them Are Unfunny Bland Racist Jokes Anyway.............




    Lastly, The Characters... None Of Them Are Interesting...Not One Single Of Them And Most Of Them Are Annoying!!!!




    Those Are 3 out of 1,000,000,000,000,000 Reasons Why I Hate The Cleveland Show..




    I Only Recommend This To Racist No One Else In This Universe!!




  • This show is about as funny as child rape

    2.0
    At my age, I'm not a huge Seth MacFarlane fan-I used to laugh my ass off when I first saw Family Guy when I was about 12, but it got old really quickly and the show was never really the same to me after it returned, all I can say is it is watchable unlike how stretched out "The Simpsons" has become. American Dad, I found funny as well when it came out and I still enjoy that as well. When this came out I thought "Oh cool another spinoff"-how stupid was that line of thought?



    This show is just a duplicate of "Family Guy" except with Cleveland. All I can say is this show I feel like a bloody animated version of Tyler Perry show-it tries hard to be funny but misses and falls hard on its arse. This show basically has everything "Family Guy" does-minus the comedy-a fat moron father (Peter rubbed off on him), a MILF (only difference is dat ass), a fat moron son, a typical teenage girl, a talking baby, a talking animal (The Bears) and three neighbors to drink with-pretty much the same there. Terrible idea, with even more terrible execution, at least a show that spun-off Quagmire would be something watchable!

    I watch this and really, I feel embarrassed watching it because of how pathetic this show is where it's clear the writers are just scraping the bottom of the barrel with these stupid jokes. None of the characters are really even funny, or have anything funny to contribute. The fact this show replaced "King of the Hill's" timeslot amazes me. I get the impression Seth just makes this, laughing "look at these stupid people watching my show".
  • A fair show (UPDATED REVIEW)

    6.0
    I think the Cleveland Show is a fair show. I really do not get the hatred of this episode but oh well, it's everyone's opinion. In my opinion, I don't think the Cleveland Show is bad but it doesn't kick butt like Family Guy and American Dad. There is NO way that this show would be better over those two. If you prefer Cleveland over Family Guy and American Dad (especially for those who are worn out by them), then you must be out of your *Censor* mind. So, about the show, it is when Cleveland moves back to his hometown in Stoolebend, VA and reunite with his high school girlfriend Donna and they get married. As for the characters, they depend. Cleveland Brown is still a funny and enjoyable character but here he changed quite a lot here. He acted more childish and different in this show. I just hope his behavior will change bak to his original when this show ends (and most likely moving back to Quahog). Donna is okay but her quotes/lines seems very repetitive. Cleveland Jr. changed a lot as well; voiced by Kevin M Richardson, wear glasses, and is obese. He is still funny and enjoyable. I am not too fond of Roberta very much but will occasionally be funny. Rallo is the best Tubbs character here. He had a lot of funny lines here. I really enjoyed Cleveland's friends especially Tim the bear. Episodes of the show will range from awful (A Brown Thanksgiving, Men in Me, and Tis the Cleveland to be Sorry), bad (the first episode, Brown History Month, and one more I can't recall), most average, to enjoyable episodes (Brotherly Love, Ain't Nothing but Mustin Bustin, and escape from Gochland). In conclusion, it is okay to hate this show but in my opinion, I just think it is okay and will sometimes watch when bored. 6/10
  • NOT MANY LAUGHS ON NETWORK TV THESE DAYS

    8.0
    AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, AT THE PRESENT TIME (JANUARY 2013), THE ONLY FUNNY COMEDIES ON NETWORK TV ARE THE THREE SETH MCFARLANE SHOWS ON FOX, '30 ROCK' ANF 'THE BIG BANG THEORY'.
  • Well...

    1.5
    The Cleveland Show is one of FOX's worst shows yet. It is a blatant rip-off of Family Guy and there is nothing original in the show which could make it more interesting for viewers. Let's break this down.



    The characters on this show are black versions of the Family Guy characters.

    Cleveland - Peter

    Donna - Lois

    Cleveland Jr. - Chris

    Roberta - Meg

    Rallo - Stewie.



    All the characters are unfunny especially Rallo. He tries to be this 'cooler' version of Stewie but he isn't. The background characters provide no laughs for me either and there is even a bear in this show who acts human which makes no sense.



    The plots don't make any sense either and sometimes I feel confused by what is going on in the show.



    Seth has already made American Dad which at least had some originality and some of it's own quirks but trying another spin-off is enough. We don't need more versions of Family Guy anymore.

  • The fact that this replaced "King of the Hill" shocks me

    2.0
    Seth Macfarland adds another show to fox focused around Cleveland Brown with his new life away from Quahog married to his old highschool prom date and having two new kids along with his obese one. Just from looking at the premise for this show, I basically knew it yet another family guy but with it's own differences, like American Dad was, from what I thought, what if peter wasn't fat and was a CIA agent. In the Cleveland show, it's just if the family was African-American, the only difference is that its stories and its characters are just BORING, they barely capture my attention and just leave me wishing that I was watching Family Guy. I'm not going to focus to much into the characters because I think almost all of them are just to replace the originals from family guy, but basically it consists of a talking baby, a bitch daughter, a unhealthy fatass for a son, a redneck with a fatass for a daughter, a bear with an accent(yes a bear with an accent) a tough ladies man, and rebel the daughter is dating. You probably would think that these type of characters would make the show interesting, but unfortunately the personalities are so dull and generic, that you should just watch Family Guy if you want almost the same thing, only difference is that Family Guy is funny. And to believe this replaced king of the hill, good god fox, what were you thinking?

    1.0
    i don't understand why some people praised this as good show

    in fact The Cleveland show is easily become most boring and uninsteresting show of Mac Farlane ever created

    this crap just lol a simply imitation of family guy,only make differentiation by the main cast is black guy as the new variation the rest just copying their original series

    Cleveland=Peter

    Donna=Louise

    Roberta=Meg

    Cleveland, Jr.=Chris

    Rallo=Stewie

    it just only lack the family pet (Brian)

    the youngest child Rallo easily annoyed me as him totally look imitate Stewie only years older than him but his character totally uninsteresting for me

    Cleveland jr for at least show hasimprovisation unlike Chris,Jr more intelligent and aware environment all around him (much like Bart)

    i won't deny though family guy itself also said to copied The Simpson however family guy has proven to be more creative than the cleveland itself it has own standing



    this show in my opinion just doesn't have a chance,i really it found this boring not only repetitive imitation jokes from original series the theme family has been used many times by other predecesor series such as American dad,Family guy and Simpson



    c'mon give us some new theme!!i would like to prefer Fox made another series with no family theme,for example something like Futurama

    that more be interesting for me,Quaqmire show actually is quite intriguing

    yeah he just rapist but lol Fox,Seth MacFarlne you can make it's hella good i trust you of that



  • Huge Fan

    10
    I have always been a big cartoon fan and lived family guy from day 1 back in 99 when it first aired. I have never been a huge fan of American dad and therefore figured the cleveland show would be lame as well. However, after accidentally watching an episode a year ago, I found that I have grown to love the characters in this show just as much, if not more than on family guy. Don't judge by watching one episode. Give a few a chance and then see if it grows on you too! I love it and hope to see many seasons in the future.
  • Woah woah woah everyone. Why the hate?

    10
    I don't care if i get thumbs down for this, but this is the second best show on FOX!! As my title says, WHY THE HATE? Unlike most shows I have seen, I was a big fan from the start!!! I wasn't to much of a Family Guy fan, but now I'm hooked on both!! Rallo, Tim, and Cleveland Jr. are the best. Hell, they're all great! I knew this show was awesome from the start. I hope it gets renewed!

    Not as good as Family Guy and American Dad!. Possibly the worst show on FOX.
  • worst most racist show ever

    1.0
    also i watched the commentary and mike henry wants everyone to act politicly correct. kevin richardson said something funny and that racist basterd was like pull it back dude your going to far. but his show is so racist and small minded its hard to watch. he pushes his views on the show. i hate this show but watch it to see everyone but cleveland. i just wish quagmire got the spin off, but i guess mcfarland was to occupied by his good shows so he let this garbage get made. the cleveland show should be burned and fuck you mike henry
  • They replace king of the hill for this??

    4.0
    I loved king of the hill the characters are likeable: the daddy is fatherly and strongminded, the mom is brave, the son is sassy and funny and of course the neighbors were likeable too. But this show is stupid out the wowzoo! There some likeable scenes and you know what really digustes me? Is that booger eater talking baby. That kid is soo GROSS!!! I couldnt barely eat! >.<
  • King of the Hill took the axe after Seth's 3rd or 4th show, as if he doesn't have enough shows.

    1.0

    This FOX animated comedy is a spin-off of the much-loved series Family Guy. The series features the adventures of Peter Griffin's neighbor Cleveland Brown. Many years ago, Cleveland made a promise to his old high school sweetheart, Donna. Cleveland, along with Cleveland Junior, move to Stoolbend, VA to start a new life with Donna and her two children.




    This show is just unwatchable in my opinion, it has it's chuckling moments, but thats all, please avoid this show at all costs.

    A husband a wife a talking baby a fat kid and a daughter the dad doesnt like.were have i seen this before....
  • Not just boring, just bad

    1.5
    This is just...no. It's not even good, not one bit. I watched about 3 episodes, 1 of which I watched nearly the whole thing until it finally got boring. The other 2 which I changed it about 2 minutes into the show. It's just not good. Not even good one bit. There is nothing, nothing at all I like about this show. It's a bunch of stereotypes, couldn't they make it at least good.
  • Boring most of the times.

    2.5
    And stereotypical, I like stereotypical movies like "Norbit", but this doesn't can't give one good stereotypical jokes. I like stereotypes not for discriminating, but for laughs and gags! And the way they portrait the American-Africans around, is offending!



    Plot: Almost like Family Guy. Seth.M has lost his own trait to create a good cartoon because of money and greed.



    Characters: Cleveland's family in here is the least nice IMO, but the others, are really nice to be shooed away.



    Humor: Toilet, insulting stereotypical jokes. Eddie Murphy's movies had some stereotypical jokes referring to blacks, but he's also black! Seth.M has also lost it when it comes to humor.



    Art: Nothing changed, it's the only one content that wasn't tainted around by Seth's mistakes!



    Overall: 2.5. Had some few laughs with this, but other than that, there's nothing else.
  • My Word to Seth MacFarlane: BEGONE!

    1.5
    This show is an abomination! It insults Africans and makes no sense. The characters are stupid, the plots are abysmal, and did I mention it HAS SANAA LATHAN IN IT! How the f*ck did that happen?! It should've gone to limbo!
  • Nowhere near as funny as "Family Guy" and "American Dad" BUT this cartoon BARELY rates as a good cartoon.

    7.0
    First of all, I am disappointed in Seth MacFarlane for writing out one of my favorite characters from "Family Guy" because "Family Guy" really isn't the same without Cleveland and it angers me. Cleveland is still my favorite character BUT I think that he is much more funnier in "Family Guy" than he is in this cartoon. Why did Cleveland have to leave "Family Guy" in the beginning? That's an answer I want to hear from Seth MacFarlane. I don't blame you people if you hate this cartoon because I BARELY rate it as a good cartoon. It can be a funny cartoon at times but it just isn't funny enough most of the time. I don't think that this is a bad cartoon as you can see from my score... even though I BARELY rate it as a good cartoon. Cleveland is a very funny character and still one of the favorite characters. Cleveland's friends are also very funny in this cartoon. Donna is just an alright character in my opinion. Cleveland Jr. acts like a kid but he can be funny at times and the same thing goes to Rollo. I don't like Roberta that much because she thinks that she is cool and can get away with everything. My other favorite character in this show though is Tim the Bear. Tim the Bear always makes an episode enjoyable everytime he appears. Overall, I don't really recommend this cartoon and I BARELY rate it as a good cartoon... but I guess this cartoon isn't all bad. 7/10
  • I want King of the Hill back!

    1.0
    Hank Hill just got slapped in the face from this show. This seriously is a huge insult to put this steaming hunk of dog crap on the air, and cancel a show people actually enjoyed. King of the Hill wasn't groundbreaking, but it sure beat this show by a mile. But why is this show so bad your asking? Well, for one, the jokes in this show are dry, and humorless. It is just a bunch of black humor that most people won't understand. Other issue is the characters. I didn't mind Clevland on Family Guy, but now I can't stand him. Not to mention: where did Cleveland Junior come from again? He was on Family Guy once or twice in 4 or 5 years, and he looked 100% different than the Cleveland Junior on this show. Then again, who gives a crap about any of the characters on this show? The baby is a copy of Stewie, Cleveland Jr. is a copy of Chris, and the teenage girl is a copy of Meg.





    Seth, you need to get off the air. Bring back King of the Hill!
  • Yeah, this show is pretty boring. If anyone deserved a spin-off, it's Meg, not Cleveland (and here's why).

    3.0
    This show... yeah, it's rather boring and I'm not kidding. You don't believe me? This basically a Family Guy knock-off. I watched it before and it was awful. Here's why:



    Art: 5.5/10 - Not too bad, but could've used work. It's not the only bad thing here.



    Characters: 6/10 - Ever since Cleveland got his own show, his character wasn't very good and it's likely the others wouldn't be all that great either.



    Voice-acting: 8/10 - The only greatest part of the show!



    Plot: 3/10 - The biggest downfall of them all: It's always flashback, flashback, flashback. It gets really annoying.



    Dialogue: 2/10 - Don't get me started. The dialogue is annoying, repetitive, boring, and not funny! The jokes are corny, and as I said before, the plot is just mostly flashbacks and of no use to the plot.



    Animation: 5.5/10 - Animation is okay, I guess, but could've used work.



    Music: 4/10 - Nothing that's all that great.



    Overall: 3/10 - I would never thought the show would do so badly on its boring music, so-so art and animation, annoying plot, and boring dialogue. The only good part of this show is the voice-acting really. And no, I'm not a racist. There are good shows with a predominantly black cast like Everybody Hates Chris, Sanford & Son, The Jeffersons, and tons more. This show just isn't one of them. So please............ Avoid this show at all costs even if it means sleeping with the fishes.
  • Good but......

    7.5
    This show has its moments. Great laughs and good comedy but not all the time. This show can easily be hit or miss, and it seems to go on a show by show basis. The third season has been trending towards a down slope in my opinion.
  • OK and then not so OK.

    6.0

    This show was to take place for King of the Hill, and is doing better than that excuse for a T.V. show. Seth pulled another Family Guy/American Dad and used another family from Family Guy ripping of The Simpsons once again. Good ole' Seth McFarlene! Well, this show is not the best show on Sundays but definitely better than Allan Gregory. It deserves some respect but not a lot!

  • Maybe time to end it.

    6.0
    I think this show was a mistake made by Seth, the cleveland show is merrily like American dad and family guy except with a different family. The comedy is not as good as family guy and American dad. the comedy seems forced yet it doesn't appeal. I think this show was an error but sometimes watchable.
