    The Cleveland Show certainly improved for me in this episode. This episode was packed in with a lot more humour and we also got to see a much more innovative and interesting storyline.

    To recount in short, Lester's son Ernie moves into the Brown residence of his own accord. That was way better than the first two episodes.

    Even though this show is nowhere near as good as the show it spins off from, I was very pleased to see a worthwhile episode at last!

    Seriously, in my opinion, if the show continues in this direction, it can have great potential to live up to Family Guy. Please keep it up!moreless

    Very good episode, Much funnier than any family guy episode airing at the moment. First class episode, well done boys. Hope to see many more episodes like this in the current season of "The Cleveland Show." Can't wait to watch any more and see what fresh and funny ideas the gang come up with. I enjoyed the cut-away sequences in this episode much more than in the two previous episodes. Very very good improvement on the jokes in the episode. Had me in stitches the whole time. "That's not why they call me the elephant man... this is." Well done, yet again.moreless

    OK, I have to admit even though this show is in general awful I did actually laugh a few times during this episode.

    First when Cleveland ended up with the possum on his private parts and then lit it on fire. It was the combination of the animal and the frantic running in all directions that must have hit my funny bone.

    The second was when all the rednecks were in the foster home and the big gun fight broke out. Maybe this was an example of how they might brighten up this show and a direction they need to take it.

    Otherwise, the first show was dumb, the second episode was cruel, this episode was just plain mean. Somehow I have a picture of Seth MacFarlane sitting someplace sipping tea and just laughing at FOX. Did they really buy 35 episodes sight unseen?

    I think it's morbid curiosity but I guess I'll be back again next week to see what they try to pull then. Thanks for reading...moreless

    Cleveland show is still yet to make a mark in its freshman year. The previous two episode were horrible, and this one was decent and had a few jokes. Overall it was quite watchable.

    Notable gags included two punned references to Cleveland Jr. When they did it the first time where Cleveland propositions an undercover cop, I had the laugh of my day, and the second time it was like -yeah, whatever. That and some Family Guy like metaphorical sentences like the widowed trapeze artist with Alzheimer pretty much made the episode. The supporting characters are still boring right from Donna to the weird accented bear. But yes, not a remarkable episode, but a remarkable improvement nonetheless.moreless
