The only show FOX has already picked up for 2 seasons is the FAMILY GUY spin-off THE CLEVELAND SHOW. Is this THE JEFFERSONS to Guy’s ALL IN THE FAMILY? I’m kinda psyched to see Cleveland and his wife get their own show… they’re hilarious!

THE CLEVELAND SHOW premieres Fall 2009 and will air Sunday’s at 8:30pm after THE SIMPSONS and before FAMILY GUY.

THE CLEVELAND SHOW Preview:

THE CLEVELAND SHOW Synopsis:
THE CLEVELAND SHOW is a new animated series that follows everyone’s favorite soft-spoken neighbor, CLEVELAND BROWN (Mike Henry), to his hometown in Virginia as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, her unruly kids and his own 14-year-old son, CLEVELAND JR. (Kevin Michael Richardson).

Many years ago, Cleveland was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA (Sanaa Lathan). 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 ran off, leaving Donna with a teenage daughter and a young son. Now she’s open to Cleveland and has offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously reunites with Donna, and he and Cleveland Jr. move to Virginia to join their new family.

Once in Virginia, there are a few surprises in store for Cleveland, including ROBERTA (Reagan Gomez-Preston), a rebellious new stepdaughter; RALLO (Henry), his new 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies; and a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER (Richardson); a hipster wanna-be, HOLT (guest voice Jason Sudeikis); and a religious pair of talking bears, TIM (Seth MacFarlane) and his wife ARIANNA (guest voice Arianna Huffington).

THE CLEVELAND SHOW is a 20th Century Fox Television production. Seth MacFarlane, Rich Appel and Mike Henry are executive producers and co-creators of the series.

Yesterday, FOX announced their Fall 2009/Midseason 2010 lineup and while I’m super excited to see more SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and FRINGE I don’t like their strategy. SYTYCD is my show, you know I love it more than anything but really do I need it in the Fall? I know their looking for their Fall IDOL but I’m not gonna have time to watch these dancers twice a week once all of my regularly scheduled primetime shows are in full swing. That’s annoying. So is moving FRINGE to Thursday’s against SUPERNATURAL (Grey’s, CSI, The Office and 3 Rock)… seriously? Not pleased.
