"Cleveland" Coming soon? (FG Spin-off)
From: http://www.reuters.com/article/enter...63901720080229
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Family Guy's" henpecked husband Cleveland Brown might be getting his own show. The Fox network and the show's producer, 20th Century Fox TV, are developing a spin-off from their hit animated series centered on Peter Griffin's bathtub-accident-prone neighbor, sources said. The project, tentatively titled "Cleveland," is being written by "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry -- a writer/producer who voices Cleveland -- and Rich Appel, an executive producer on MacFarlane's other Fox cartoon, "American Dad." Cleveland, who plays off black stereotypes, is the most levelheaded among Griffin's trio of friends. He's also pushed around by his wife. Once canceled by Fox, "Family Guy" triumphantly returned on the network in 2005. It is Fox's top-rated comedy and has grown into a $1 billion franchise with red-hot DVD and merchandise sales. Fox executives have made it a priority to find another hit animated comedy to complement their Sunday comedy lineup. They have several cartoons in the works, including an animated version of the 2003 short-lived live-action comedy "The Pitts." In addition to "Cleveland," Fox is also developing a spin-off of the drama series "Prison Break," set at a female prison. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter ==== Yeah, that's completely unnecessary. |

No no no no NO.
Family Guy is a shadow of it's former self. Seth McFarlane has lost his touch. American Dad is still the goods though. |

If anyone one of them should get a spin-off it should either be Joe or Quagmire. Cleaveland is pretty crudy imo.

HUge Family Guy fan. It still makes me ROFL every episode, but even I don't think this is that good an idea.

Fourth if you count that live-action thing that lasted all of five episodes or so.
