Fox has not picked up the option on a fifth-season renewal for MacFarlane’s third animated series, The Cleveland Show, which is finishing its third season on the air. The series is midway in production on a full fourth season worth of episodes for next fall. Because the show is still in production, the network has opted to postpone a decision on a fifth season to see how its schedule shakes out in the fall. The series, a spinoff from Family Guy, has been sold in off-network syndication to Adult Swim for a fall 2013 launch. Of the other Fox animated series, The Simpsons has a two-year renewal, Bob’s Burgers‘ third season pickup was announced in January, Allen Gregory has been canceled, and Napoleon Dynamite is still on the bubble.

Too bad. I enjoy TCS. I know it's not as popular as FG or AD, but it delivers the laughs for me and it isn't QUITE as vulgar or cruel minded as those two shows.

Maybe Fox needs to start rethinking it's "Animation Domination" block. Simpsons has to end sometime (I'm guessing after 25 years), McFarlane has admitted he's only doing FG because the fans still want it, and shows like Bob's Burgers and Napolean Dynamite haven't exactly caught fire. And the less said about Allen Gregory the better.

THAT PIECE OF **** BOBS BURGERS MAKES IT BUT CLEVELAND SHOW DOESN'T?


i effing hate TV execs

Bob's burgers is pretty good

All I can say is this...If "The Cleveland Show" does well on Adult Swim, but it gets cancelled...I hope it gets new breath on Adult Swim than on FOX!

Bob's burgers is pretty good

i watched two episodes when it first came out and failed to laugh
