"The Cleveland Show": how long until it gets canned?

[Cush]

flat out awful

[charlie and algernon]

1. i turned it off halfway through to watch Ken Burns' documentary on national parks

it's on PBS

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. Whoa. Woo.

Ouch.

[LostInAnomie]

3. It's about equal to American Dad.

There were a couple of good laughs, but it's not a laugh riot.

[Deja Q]

4. The real question is, will it outlast 'The Chevy Chase Show'?

:evilgrin:

[Beer on a stick]

19. There have been some superbly not-of-this-world American Dads.

But, yes, overall it's no Family guy.

Nothing is.

[flvegan]

5. Not soon enough.

That was pretty terrible. I think I chuckled twice at things the bear character did, but otherwise...

[future_of_the_party]

6. I thought it was pure comedy

[bigwillq]

8. Hello.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[UndertheOcean]

7. What happened to originality ? or are suits bound to keep copying successful formulas ?

[Mike Daniels]

9. Well, considering that it came from a Simpson's rip off.....

I'd say that originiality was never in the show's concept to begin with.

[Deep13]

14. I thought it was more of a Flintstones rip-off. nt

[Beer on a stick]

17. Family guy is simliar to Simpson's in that it's got a family. That's about it.

A rip-off? Hardly.

[gmoney]

10. and then how long until the "grassroots" campaign to bring it back on the air?

Wasn't that the story with Family Guy, Futurama, and Arrested Development?

[surrealAmerican]

16. I wouldn't worry too much about that.

This show is not good enough, or original enough for a "cult" following.

[NJmaverick]

11. I figure you have to give it one or two more epidsodes to see

what direction it goes in. Tough to judge a show on its pilot.

[Deep13]

13. Right.

Judging by the pilot, however, it sucked ass.

[ccharles000]

12. it was ok

[charlie and algernon]

15. the season premiere of Family Guy was FAR better

I loved the scene where everything was drawn like Disney.

[ccharles000]

20. I agree

[susanr516]

21. My sons thought that scene was hysterical

I thought the show with the Cleveland character sucked, but I'm 55--what do I know about cartoon comedy?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. It was alright for a pilot.

Better than the Family Guy pilot. Leagues better than the Simpson's pilot.

[Ishoutandscream2]

22. Wasn't impressed, but I will give it time

[proteus_lives]

23. Soon I hope.

It was offensive and sucked hard!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. Offensive?

oh lord

[SpartanDem]

25. If that's the best they can do not soon enough

[oedura]

26. I didn't think any of it was funny...

I sat through the whole thing, but was sorely tempted to change the channel more than once.

[Brother Buzz]

27. It will be deemed a success as soon as Hugo Chávez bans it
