So will this new Cleveland family also be popping up in Family Guy...? is it set in the future (knowingly) from the time period occupied by Family Guy...? will Cleveland no longer appear in FG...?

Not that I'd care if he didn't because he's a nothing character whose basic premise for years was how boring he was, and now they think 'let's take the boring black guy and give him his own show'. White middle-class scribes writing black shows featuring black characters does not work.

Anybody who has seen BBC's The Croutches in the UK will vouch for that. Britain's "first black sitcom" (which it wasn't), written by the white, Scottish creator of Rab C. Nesbitt.
