The Cleveland Show - Page 7

Maybe it is an ironic take on positive discrimination in TV shows.

Yeah I'm giving the show until next week then I'm done. Last nights had a few scenes where I kind of laughed but nothing to warrant spending 22 minutes of my life on. American Dad, as usual, had my dying.

Finally saw the pilot. Holy shit, how could Fox actually greenlight this? There was 1 joke that I actually laughed out loud at, everything else was like 'Scooby-Do funny'...You know it's a joke, but it's just not the slightest bit funny

I can't really get into American Dad a whole lot, but some of the recent Family Guy episodes have been comedy gold in my opinion.

It was a lot better this week. Bunch of shit I laughed at and they started mixing in family guy flash back things (not sure I like that, but always good for a cheap laugh)

I actually thought this weeks episode was funny.

I want to know who at Fox watched this show and thought to themselves "hmm, a black version of family guy with less interesting characters and less frequent but more mundane flashbacks...yea this could work!"

Terrible is the only word I can find to describe this. I watched the first episode out of respect of Family Guy and let the whole setup thing slide, but the second one was just as bad. Honestly it's like an unfunny version of Bill Cosby merged with Family Guy. And it's not like I simply don't find the jokes funny, Cleveland is such a slow and predictable character that nothing ever happens to laugh AT. It's like watching a 3rd graders play, its so bad it makes you feel awkward just to be in the audience.

i cant believe this thing is still on, its even harder to believe that this replaced King of the Hill. love it or hate it, it at least was an original show. this cleveland shit is an abomination of a bizarro family guy. even family guy isnt that funny anymore and they made a direct ripoff of the show but with one of the most uninteresting characters from FG. a quagmire spinoff would have been potentially awesome. 30 minutes of cartoon perversion was a lot more of an original idea than this shit.
the worst part is you guys still watch this and encourage Fox to highfive eachother on a job well done

I've watched all the episodes so far, and though there's a laugh in places in some episodes it's just not one of those things I see on Hulu and say "Hell yeah, gotta watch the new episode!"

Like others have said.. not sure how this is still on, It has a laugh here and there, but for the most part it's just not all that funny. Keep hoping it'll get better, but it just hasn't.

Who knows, maybe it needs to be canceled twice before it comes back as win. Like Family Guy did.

They should put an episode of Robot Chicken into this time slot one time and see if it doesnt get the exact same or higher ratings than this. Its really benefiting from Nielsen paralysis whereby the old people and retarded who still count in the Nielsen system apparently get mesmerized and dont change channels

I figure shows like this are the ones people leave on TV while they go take a dump or jump in the shower.
