The Cleveland Show is a terrible idea

Those were amusing rip-offs right there. However I like, nearly everyone else who read that has never herd of the original program or comic they had ripped off. Unlike those rip offs, the Family Guy fan base as you noted are already the most likely to watch this. In fact the majority of the fan base of Family Guy I have noticed they will deny the existence of Family Guy ripping of The Simpsons. You can see fans of Family Guy on Hulu still arguing that on the comment section or on youtube. In fact http://www.debate.org... in this debate the con says "Stewie is very well developed and most of the characters have original characteristics." However Family Guy was originally intended to be a parody of the Simpsons and not meant to last long. Not until DVD sails sky rocketed. In short the Family Guy fan base will see that the two shows, the Cleveland Show and Family Guy are too close as apposed to comparing it to other shows that were not made by the same creator, because they were not already supporting the previous fan base. Yeah, there will be fanboys and girls but the vast majority of the viewers will see that it is a rip off. You say a rip off doesn't necessarily mean it will make little success but then again who actually supported or heard of the original. Maybe if we had known about that before hand we might of had less respect for the copy-cat program. As for the fact that it's a Black Family Guy I would say that the people who would feel like they would relate to this would also have already been watching the original and had no problem with it. Besides they only look black. Seth Mcfarlane still does the voice of Cleveland. As for friends of mine who were black and found that out were disappointed. In fact the first time I watched the trailer I was with a friend who was black and his two little brothers. They were all watching Family Guy at the moment when they saw this. None of them liked it, and as well thought it was a bad idea. That may not be a source written in black and white, but that's how I know that at least a part of the black population will not follow this pattern you have described. Also yes I am sorry I have made a mistake do to the fact I don't watch Family Guy often. That is that Cleveland did not have a son. However they did change his appearance. Why do you think they did that. Well I just noticed Chris is fat. Not only that Cleveland Jr. is supposed to be a rip off of Chris. So that means that the creators of the show were too lazy to even stick with the original model They just wanted a Black version of Family Guy, even if it means making character's fit the person they should be mimicking. I believe that they did this because they might have some episode ideas that would not fit the Family Guy family due to the fact they are white and may have some very miner differences, but a black version would fit just fine. For instance the Prince scene in the trailer I posted earlier. It would fit the Cleveland Show much better than Family Guy. Also since Cleveland just movied in with his new family they can just redue old ideas. Like black Peter trying to get to know black Meg better. Just reusing old ideas as well. I still stand by my point that The Cleveland show was poorly put together even by Family Guy standards and will not be close as successful as hoped.
