Family Guy Spinoff, 'Cleveland' Gets a 13 Episode Order - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 04-30-2008, 08:06 AM

One virtual certainty is that Fox will be launching its first animated comedy -- or comedies -- in three years. "Cleveland," a spinoff of "Family Guy," is expected to get on the air with a 13-episode order. Staffers are being hired for the show, which focuses on the Griffins' henpecked neighbor.

Coincidentally, the last two animated series entries on Fox were "American Dad" and the resurrected "Family Guy," both from "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane.

The show, which is expected to be ready for a spring launch, might be joined by two other new cartoons: "The Pitts" and "Sit Down, Shut Up."

Both projects took a nontraditional development route when Fox sped up by the process by eschewing the traditional pilot order. They are expected to produce one- to two-minute presentations to be ready for Fox's upfront presentation.

I think it will, hopefully, it is as funny as FG and not as lame as American Dad.

I wonder if any of the cast from Family Guy who play a guest starting role on Cleveland Spin-off Series

Oh, I am almost sure of it.

Scoobiedoo30 · 04-30-2008, 02:29 PM

Pavan · 04-30-2008, 02:34 PM

It will not launch in the fall. Mid-season.

Scoobiedoo30 · 04-30-2008, 02:39 PM

MrCleveland · 04-30-2008, 03:54 PM

Is it set in Cleveland? Because that would be funny!

needles1987 · 05-18-2008, 11:47 PM

No, it's set in Virginia.

This makes NO sense to me!!!......this is the first time I've ever seen a spin-off show featuring the most boring, least interesting character on a show!!! (That would be like giving Grant Imahara a Mythbusters spin-off show, instead of Kari Byron!!!

)

I'd like to see THE ADVENTURES OF QUAGMIRE.
