Good news, Cleveland fans! Your favorite Family Guy spin-off series has been picked up for a second season! Wait a second. There aren’t any Cleveland fans. Because no one has even seen the first season yet. From the Hollywood Reporter:
Fox is so high on “Cleveland,” the upcoming spinoff from hit “Family Guy,” that it has ordered a second season.
The new 13-episode pickup brings the total order for the show to 35 episodes — and that’s months before the series has even premiered.
Huh. In an industry where new shows are rarely given the chance to find an audience before being pulled from the air, at a time in which the entire world is holding its breath to see what will happen with the economic collapse, this just makes sense. It’s just a wonderful example of Hollywood bravely giving America what it wants.
Good work, everyone.

okay, i already loved videogum. and then you put the ‘man in the mirror’ video on here. now i have a fiery, burning passion for you. thank you.
So according to Fox if no one watches your show it gets renewed right away but if a show has a small but dedicated audience the plug gets pulled after moving the show to a slew of different days and different times across from established shows.
I think I am finally understanding Fox
I think if that were the case Arrested Development would still be on the air.
Is this show a joke?
I think this is a joke.
It will have one joke, yes.
“There will also be an episode in 2010 which features rapper Kanye West playing a character named Kenny West. The producers stated working with West was a very good experience and a reason they chose him was because they knew he was a fan of Family Guy.”
To put this in perspective.
Fox puts a lot of effort into plugging their new show “Sit Down Shut Up” which features many Arrested Development stars and other famous people. After said plugging, it doesn’t get incredible ratings after two weeks. Fox pulls it from its 8:30 slot and moves it to a 7:00pm slot (also known as a Death Slot).
Fox then thinks that a third show from the glorious mind of Seth McFarlane is so good that before testing it out on the American populace, they greenlight a second season before a single episode airs of the first season.
…what?
I suppose Fox’s Sunday night success can basically be attributed to Seth MacFarlene already. Family Guy and American Dad are pulling in viewers, right? Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they make a pretty safe bet… or something? I’m just saying the fan base is already in place. Still seems like a silly move to ask for two seasons at once, but oh well.
But next we’ll get McFarlane taking over The Simpsons, and then it’s just two short steps until we reach SMOX where he acts in every male role in every show aired.
(They’ll clone him a few times for football and baseball)
This show is going to be racist.
So it’s going to be exactly like Family Guy?
I blame Seth MacFarlane for all unnessecary anthropomorphism in the world. Why do the neighbors have to be bears? They don’t. End of story. NEXT.

New Show from Seth McFarlane that hasn’t even premiered yet: Second Season
Where’s that Suicide GIF. from Black Dahlia when you need it. I’m not going to post it. I just need some pointers.
And Stella!
2005-2005. Never forget.
Seth MacFarlane is a whore. A 100 million dollar whore. The kind that gives FOX execs the best fellatio of their nasty little lives.
Seth McFarlane NEEDS this money. Infinity pools filled with orphan’s tears don’t pay for themsleves.
That’s pools, plural. He has three. Maybe five next year. Fingers crossed.
There should be a question about Seth MacFarlane in dating profiles. I think one’s opinion of him is potentially more useful information than “athletic build” or if they want kids someday.
As if American Dad wasn’t bad enough. Now we have 2 family guy clones, and I’ve been sick of the original for years!
jace, are you my stepbrother?
Are you basing that on my answer, or are you missing a step-brother?
