To me, it's funny, but it's Family Guy funny. Quite a pointless show, might aswell be watching FG.

I watched about twenty minutes of the first episode and didn't find it very funny.

It wasn't very funny, it just had a lot of references to other family comedy shows as if mentioning them was enough to be a joke.

It wasn't anywhere near funny enough to justify its existence in my view......

Not even close to matching Family Guy in my opinion. Just didn't seem that funny at all.

Again can't understand why they would use Clevland as a basis. Now if it was The Quagmire Show I could understand.

yeah I thought the same. I've got all the first 11 episodes so far and they are ok, not that funny though. The little kid, Rolo or something, comes out with some good stuff though.

I think the Quagmire show would just be like Leisure Suit Larry....i.e. awesome

I have been going through them, but only as background, look up when something sounds funny. I suspect a Quagmire show would quickly descend into cartoon porn or vulgarity which would be pushing it too far for US television.

Me too, watched it last night while playing Xbox. A bit uninspiring.

Nowadays I prefer South Park much more than Family Guy/Simpsons/Cleveland Show etc.

Don't see the point of it, he wasn't even the most visible support in Family Guy, Quagmire was but he's too one dimensional. Joe might work but Cleveland was boring, boring voice boring character.

Haven't seen the spin off, don't plan to either.

Iv seen a few upto episode 11 and they do get better. Rolo is the best charector. He comes out with some cracking lines

The Rolo, Stewie and Brian Show would be good.

Ummmmm - not going to make a comment yet, as there were one or two good lines.

Still seems a very odd idea for a show.

I like the references to it in Family Guy. Most particularly, there was an episode recently where Cleveland's old house got smashed, and bath slid out as per. Just he wasn't there biggrin

1st Episode was O.K. unfortunately all the funny moments came from Peter and Quagmire who aren't in any more episodes..... so it won't be funny.

Either my digital leprosy is back or people saying it will suck don't want to/can't watch a youtube video.

They also have the prize for the saddest yet most funny cut scene

Sadder than a widowed trapeze artist with alzheimers!

So cruel!

I love Seth Mcfarlane shows and Cleveland is now my number two just in front of American Dad (only just mind the new series of American dad is pretty awesome)
