A Family Guy Spin Off? The Cleveland Show Set To Debut Next Fall

I absolutely love Family Guy but I'm a little hesitant when it comes to the idea of a spin off. Don't get me wrong, the Cleveland character is great and all but to give Cleveland his own show is kind of surprising. To be fair though, I'll hold any reservations I may have until the show debuts next fall but here's a quick synopsis of what the show will entail. My only question is, does this spell the end of Cleveland's involvement on Family Guy? Only time will tell.

"Many years ago, Cleveland Brown (voiced by Mike Henry) was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named Donna. Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he'd be there when she called.

Well, this man done her wrong.

Donna's husband skipped town with another woman, leaving Donna with a daughter and a baby. Now she's come to Cleveland and offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously accepts and he and Cleveland Jr. move to Stoolbend, VA, to join their new family.

Once in Stoolbend, Cleveland has a few surprises in store for him, including a flirtatious new stepdaughter, a 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies, as well as a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck couple, a British family seemingly stuck in the Victorian era and a family of bears living at the end of the block.

Family Guy was only the beginning. Get ready for The Cleveland Show (working title)!

The series is written and executive-produced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad), Rich Appel (The Simpsons, King of the Hill) and Mike Henry (Family Guy). "--
