Cleveland Moves Out

**Cleveland Moves Out** is the hour-long series finale of *The Cleveland Show*.

## Synopsis

In the epic, show-stopping series finale of *The Cleveland Show*, news gets out that a giant meteor is headed toward the Earth. With the world coming to an end, The Brown-Tubbs Family makes their final days worthwhile.

## Plot

Cleveland gets off work and sings a cheery and upbeat musical number about how much he loves life and living in Stoolbend. When he gets home, he sees Donna, who is equally satisfied with the life she leads and tells her that he's likely going to get a promotion at work, which will make their family even richer. Roberta says that she's becoming very popular at school and so does Rallo, when bringing up his school. Cleveland and Donna both feel proud of their kids but they take notice of Junior, who isn't doing anything successful and is instead acting like a complete nutjob, playing in a cardboard box with a tinfoil hat. Junior says that because this is 2012, the world is going to end. Neither of them believes his bullshit and thinks he needs to get a life.

Cleveland goes to the bar with The Guys. Tim says some stuff, Lester says some stuff, Holt says some stuff, and even Dr. Fist says some stuff. On the TV, they see Dwayne Meighan doing a news report on a newly discovered comet called The Rainbow Boomer.

Cleveland works hard for his promotion and gets abused by Lloyd Waterman but it's all worth it because he finally gets his glorious promotion. At this point, Cleveland is treated like a higher class worker and Lloyd no longer abuses him anymore. However, he does still abuse Cleveland's friends like Tim, Terry, and Tori.

Eventually, the news starts saying how The Rainbow Boomer is actually a deadly meteor that's headed at Earth and is going to destroy it very soon. At first, people think this is all just a hoax, but then, a bunch of signs of the apocalypse start happening all over the world and people get skeptical. Once Barack Obama himself, makes a public announcement about how the world is going to end for real, everybody believes him and goes into a panic.

Cleveland spends his last few days on Earth acting like an idiot at work. He knows he'll get fired but he doesn't care because he's going to die anyway. He gets revenge on Mr. Waterman for abusing him and his friends by crushing his desk in an attempt to shit on it.

The day of reckoning finally comes and The Brown-Tubbs Family evacuates the house to get to a nuclear bunker. The take all of their priceless belongings out of the house and leave with them. However, Cleveland's street is the last street to get to the bunker and this point, the bunker is full and they can't get in. Neither can The Bear Family, The Krinklesac Family, or The Richter Family (however, Holt's Mama still makes it in). Since he knows everything about the 2012 apocalypse, Junior is seen as the guiding light for helping the family with their impending doom.

The Brown-Tubbs Family break into the CIA and start using their weaponry to go into space and start destroying the meteor and they successfully blow it up. However, one of the blown-up pieces of the meteor crushes The Brown-Tubbs House.

When they get back to Earth, there is no hope in repairing their house because Cleveland and Donna got fired from their jobs and can't get money anymore. On top of that, Roberta and Rallo are now social outcasts at school and can never show their faces in public again.

Cleveland finally settles on a plan to move back to Quahog, Rhode Island with his family. There, he can go back to his old house and get his old job as a deli worker back again. Then, they can live their lives normally.

After a sad and tearful goodbye, The Brown-Tubbs Family leaves Stoolbend and goes to Quahog. The series ends with a sad song and an overhead shot of Stoolbend with the camera slowly zooming out as the song plays, until it's just a shot of the Earth, which looks exactly like the shot of the earth in the theme song. The camera then fades to black and *The Cleveland Show* officially ends.
