    I mean I didn't watch the full series through Netflix but it's a fine film if you asked me it's not the worst ever. I mean some people just don't get humor which is the issue. I mean I'm not surprised this show didn't or about get taken off the air lol, but what am I talking about nothing ever gets taken off the air. But the film is fine.

    Some people dislike the Cleveland show but it's clearly better than family guy. Many of the supporting cast is amazing and it will be a shame to see them gone. Sure Cleveland himself is annoying and Holt is frustrating, but the cast is still far better than family guy's. The characters are actually decent people, and the ones that seem like stereotypes often turn out more dimensional. Roberta is a great example of those, where most episodes add more depth to her. We have put up with hundreds of episodes of family guy and the most we know about Chris is that he masturbates, is stupid, fat, and sometimes a creep. Not to mention Donna is the best wife in all of Seth McFarland's shows. (i like Francine but she has a lot of bad moments)The best part is we don't have to deal with specific gags from family guy that got worn out or were never funny to begin with, like the painfully long ones, or the ones where somebody cuts away just to say " wow that's wacky".. etc. Not the best Seth McFarland show but canceled before it's time. * also on the of chance a writer ever reads these reviews (as if). Please stop with the EXCESIVE vomiting when something gay happens.... i'm all for gay jokes but that one is more homophobic than it is funny.

    When The Cleveland Show first aired my wife and I gave it a "Meh". We didn't think it was horrible, but we weren't surprised when it was cancelled. Recently, I was given the DVDs and we decided to watch it again, using it as filler for nights when nothing else was on TV. For whatever reason, this time around, we found it really funny. It's not easy for a TV show to get me to laugh out loud (The Simpsons hasn't for a couple of seasons) but we were really enjoying the show. Maybe the timing wasn't right for the show's original run. Maybe binge watching (which we started to do) helps. Or maybe it's because we were watching the show late in the evening as a bit of light- hearted junk food before bed.Easily a 5/10 during the original run, but we're bumping it up to a 7/10 for the laughs. Give it another go if you get the chance.

    some episodes are utterly brilliant pieces of animated comedy that have non stop jokes about the television industry, it feels entirely meant to be this little cheesy spin off that is cancelled after a largely forgettable run where it's constantly poking at it's own inception, process and delivery.people need to understand that the family guy universe is like monty python where it's about catching people off guard with horizontal humour, it absolutely doesn't make sense that there's a Spanish inquisition in modern day London or a telemarketing bear named Tim that's afraid of the woods. comedy is a pleasant surprise, not always the logical path, that's boring because because people that know comedy see every joke coming where family guy and cleveland show catch you constantly off guard. it's mostly a funny show if you realize that it's intended to be ridiculous and if you know your television, not just sitcoms but process and general history of how things were made from scripts to on television or film because all of it's best jokes are meta references the second episode of the second season of Cleveland Show (which is the first live airing of the taping of an animated series) is one of the funniest animated episodes of anything ever. (i can entirely see it being conceived as a Family Guy episode and adapted for Celeveland Show but it was still brilliant)
