Family Guy, Cleveland spin-off?

[BrabusMog]

I heard on the radio today that there is going to be a Family Guy spin-off based around Cleveland starting in January on E4. Does anyone know any more about this? Can't be bothered to Google it, just want some good old fashioned PH opinion.

Yes, Cleveland is leaving Quahog for his own show!

It is been shown this Sunday in the US as well as the new series of Family Guy and American Dad, so by next week we should know if it is any good, I have my doubts about it though as it is not like he is such a major character but I am prepared to give it a chance, I would have rather had a Quagmire spin-off...

Though it is interesting that E4 have the rights instead of BBC3.

Thats the channel 4/E4 way:

1)Buy right to new comedy cartoon.
2)Put it on a stupid time.
3)Don't bother advertising it.
3)Drop it so another channel can pick it up cheap.

See South Park, Family Guy, Futurama and King of the Hill for previous examples.

Watched this last night, Not very impressed, started well but as soon as he left the family guy regulars I didnt laugh once. All the memerable parts where the family guy cast. Cant see it lasting long personally

How funny would that be? Can't believe they chose Cleveland instead.
