The Cleveland Show


Ok, so I was sent a link to FOX's latest moneymaking spin-off form their formally mistreated cash-cow: Family Guy.

So you may think: Am I excited about a family guy spin-off?

Well no I'm not, first of all this is basically family guy, but with black people. This isn't a racist statement, I'm just saying if this were to be a good show, this would be an original spin-off using Cleveland. Instead of pumping us the same shit, but with a different family. Seth MacFarlane I thought was talented. But now all I can see is that he just repeats the same idea and repackages it.

I bet the only reason he did this is because Fox got complaints that all Seth MacFarlane seems to do is comedies about white families. This is a genuine need for concern, yes, i agree that his next comedy should have been a racially different family, but this time, it's exactly the same as family guy! What a rip-off!!!
Admitting it is a rip-off - Seth confesses through Peter

American Dad was different, it had a storyline, and had less random flash-backs, and used clever political satire. Even Trey Parker and Matt Stone haven't made a statement in their show yet about American Dad.
'Creative Genius' Seth MacFarlane

However Seth has reached his talent limit, and given us a repackaged family guy, blatantly aimed at a certain demographic, in which should be original, but it isn't! Seth give us a funny witty comedy involving a family that isn't white PLEASE!!!!
"You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you want to sell it! " - Ian Malcolm

PS: Why did they turn Cleveland Jr into a stereotypical fat black kid? They hypoactive kid was more original!
