Fox has pushed back the premiere date of "Family Guy" spinoff "The Cleveland Show" to fall of next year.
Skein based on the Cleveland Brown character had been announced at Fox's upfront as a late spring premiere for this season.

But that was mostly for PR value and to get advertisers jazzed about Fox's sked. Internally, there was little doubt among Fox brass that the animated series would need more time for development and production and was highly unlikely to bow this season.

At the same time it confirmed the delay, Fox said it has ordered another nine segs of "Cleveland," giving the 20th Century Fox TV production a full 22-episode order for the 2009-10 season.

In addition, pundit and Huffington Post editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington has joined the show's voice cast in a recurring role.

"Cleveland" is co-created and exec produced by Seth MacFarlane, Rich Appel and Mike Henry, who provides the voice of the title character.

I'm not surprised....I can't think it would be easy to spin off a show about FG's LEAST interesting character

Cleveland mentioned in a recent episode that he was getting his own spinoff. :) Nice touch.

Well that sucks. I was looking forward to seeing it sooner rather than later.

At least FOX has some faith in it since they've already ordered a full season.

aaah yes, the old bait and switch. I haven't seen that move used with such finesse since the time i went to summer camp with Alec Baldwin. *cue pointless flashback*

Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure how the Cleveland spinoff will be but I'm not bothered that they pushed it back.

Well, We have to wait longer, but we get more clevland. Can't wait!!

well it that True I think this is how it will be

Not so fast. Don't forget, we still have Sit Down, Shut Up coming in the spring, and King of the Hill will probably run through the 09-10 season and air whats left. I don't see Sit Down, Shut Up being a hit, in fact, I see a quick cancel. If anything, American Dad will get pushed to Mid-Season. Although renewed, it is their lowest rated show on Sundays.

8:00 Simpsons
8:30 King of the Hill
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 The Cleveland Show

I was also thinking, with the 99.9% chance of Til Death's cancellation, maybe Fox will try to fill in what they were using for a comedy hour with two animated series. Possibly Cleveland and Sit down, shut up.

Also, the new Josh Gad animated series will launch in the fall, so who knows?! Maybe an extended hour? Maybe another night of animation domination!

So wheres American Dad in that schedule. It's been renewed.
