Sad News actually. Cleveland show really had some great episodes. But I expected them to cancel it, since they've been pumping out episodes for some time now, which felt like a clearance.

 

[Fuzz Rez]

Get Mike Judge on the line! I bet he has something cooking up if they just give him a shot. Or better yet bring Futurma back to Fox and away from Comedy Central.

wonder what show will replace it.

 

[abundant]

That'd be a horrible idea. The only reason Futurama still exists today is because Cable Channels don't rely on the Ratings as much as Network Channels. Futurama gets lower ratings then the Cleveland Show, for example.

Sad to see Cleveland go. The show took a while to find its groove but got pretty good. This season had been a bit too dumb, like a parody of itself so maybe they knew the end was near. I wonder if Cleveland will return to family guy. Would be nice.

Shows that get tossed in front of Simpsons always get their shit pushed in. When bobs burgers was In that spot it had lower ratings than Cleveland.

Something like Simpsons, bobs, futurama, famguy1, American might work but tossing a new show in the lead is a death sentence.

As for mile judge word is he's been shopping Beavis and butthead around. A new show from him would be welcome too.

fuck that sucks, I'm guessing people haven't bothered to give it a chance since it's first 15 episodes were pure suck & it stars a African American Peter but everything Season 2 on has been great.

I don't know about its ratings, but that sounds like the reason napoleon dynamite got slaughtered. It was pretty good too.

TBS and Adult Swim will still afford you the regular opportunity to hear the cartoon’s insanely catchy theme song before changing the channel to something you actually want to watch.

Perfectly sums up my feelings. I've watched every episode of the Cleveland Show -- I do not value my time -- and have maaaaaybe laughed once ("Balls Deep in Love"). As long as American Dad keeps chugging I'm golden. Hell, let's get another Loren Bouchard show on there, or better yet Brendon Small! orsomegarbagethatwontlastaseason

EDIT: Ugh, posts above reminded me how great the B&B revival was and how angry I am it's dead, or in limbo, or whatever's going on with it. Sigh.

New season of Beavis and butthead would be great. I don't get how MTV didn't pick it up for another season since the ratings were actually great. Maybe there were some Square like stellar expectations from MTV's part? I loved the latest season. It still felt like original show even with the added stuff like reality TV bits.

 

[Akahige]

So when they say will be absent from the Animation Domination lineup next fall do they mean Fall 2014?

 

[Odoul]

Damn Haley cut Steve to the soul.

I also don't see that line goes unbleeped this Sunday.

I have no problem with it, you just don't hear it that bluntly on Network TV.

 

[Wag]

I never much liked the Cleveland Show. It had a real Amos & Andy feel to it. The only MacFarlane show I think is worth watching anymore is American Dad, and even then just barely.

The Kids Run The Restaurant

Spoiler

After Bob cuts his finger and faints at the sight of his own blood, Linda brings him to the hospital and leaves the kids home alone. Not ones to waste a golden opportunity, Tina, Gene and Louise transform the basement of the restaurant into a makeshift casino. But they get more than they gamble for when landlord Mr. Fischoeder stops by and catches them in action.

9:30pm:

The Boring Identity

Spoiler

Francine tries to mold Stan into her ideal husband when he gets amnesia after falling off an arcade game during a CIA operation to capture the "real" Osama bin Laden (who, apparently, has been managing a "Dave and Buster's" restaurant in Florida). Meanwhile, Roger lets Steve join his paper route to earn some extra money, but Steve is drawn into the corrupt side of the business.

 

[Odoul]

The premise of every single episode left in American Dad's current season sounds like 100% comedy.

The potential for fuckery is off the charts!

 

[fisheyes]

Bob's Burgers sold me at the title.

 

[B.K.]

That'd be a horrible idea. The only reason Futurama still exists today is because Cable Channels don't rely on the Ratings as much as Network Channels. Futurama gets lower ratings then the Cleveland Show, for example.

Fox has an option in their contract with Comedy Central to air the new episodes of Futurama after they air on Comedy Central, but they've never done it.

haha. Rilo and his puppy face asking America to please stay for the ratings before the commercial break.

I have been slacking off on watching The Simpsons this season, I'm about ten episodes behind or so now, but I just started catching up. Am I crazy, or is the quality this season a bit improved from the past number of seasons? It's certainly not what it once was, but it seems more focused in on plot and truer to what the show used to be than it has lately. I just got to the episode from December about Homer's dog and I thought that was one of the best episodes of the last decade. It actually had a great deal of heart, unlike most any Simpsons episodes lately. I even really enjoyed the one right after it, the one about the preppers and all of that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the show is at all how it used to be - just, better than it has been in a long, long time in my opinion. It actually shocked me a great deal.

 

[Lord British]

Prediction: In five years The Cleveland Show will be considered a cult classic killed before its time.

They'll always get a tiny stitch of respect from me for their Mystery Science Theater reference during the Comic-Con episode, but I seriously doubt it. It didn't really do anything unique in terms of comedy or storytelling.

I've started rewatching it from season 1 since the cancellation news, and honestly, I think the McFarlane hate (which is egregious anyway) really blinded a lot of people to a funny little show. There are a lot of great little moments scattered through every episode, some really solid characterisation and sudden touches of surrealism without descending in Family Guy-level cutaways (though they are present in the first few episodes, when it's finding its feet). I'll miss it. The last season has been a treat. I mean, it's no Bob's Burgers, but at this point I'd put it second to that show in the Animation Domination lineup. Family Guy's been shit lately and American Dad is struggling a bit. Every week Cleveland was reliably funny and occasionally quite sweet.

But then, I also loved Allen Gregory! So, you know.

I'll definitely agree that the MacFarlane hate is a little extreme and that, for me personally, the Cleveland Show was significantly better than contemporary Simpsons and as of lately had been doing much better than Family Guy. There were some definitely some fun gags, but I'm hard pressed to think of a single episode that really impressed me in some way.

Take that and combine it with the fact that they'll probably reintroduce Cleveland and some part of the family (probably Rallo) and the show will just be more of a side-note than anything else.

Also, I hated Allen Gregory so I think that means we have to have a stupidly drawn out fight like a Family Guy episode padding its length.

 

[Odoul]

The Cleveland Show was capable of being funny (the Comiccon episode was gold) but it was mostly boring.

The first season showed steady improvement and then it fell off a cliff.

And I don't really like when it white guys voice black characters. Or the equally distatsteful finding a black man to voice a black woman.

And there was this weird tendency to keep showing the wife as this ugly grey haired saggy tit having slob that wasn't there with Francine or Lois.

Bob's Burger is the perfect episode in line with Disney Channel's Gravity Falls episode "Boyz Crazy".
