Cleveland’s Getting His Own Show

It’s no secret that I’m a huge Family Guy fan.

And I’m actually kind of bummed to hear that they’re going to spin off the life of Cleveland Brown into its own series.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new animated series, tentatively titled Cleveland, will be coming from the same comic minds that brought Stewie & Co. into the mainstream, with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, former Simpsons writer and American Dad exec producer Rich Appel and Family Guy writer-producer, not to mention the voice of Cleveland himself, Mike Henry, on board to write the new show.

Not much is known about Cleveland other than the fact it will revolve around the Brown clan. It’s unclear whether the series will remain set in the town of Quahog or whether Cleveland, along with his wife and son, will continue to appear on Family Guy, though as both series are animated, the double-billing won’t so much be a logistical problem as a creative decision.

I dunno. I hate spin-offs. They never work. Everything’s going so well on Family Guy. Don’t fuck it up, guys.
