The Crapland Show

Otherwise known as The Cleveland Show, Seth Macfarlanes latest "attempt" at an animated show.

Now, before I get into THIS shitfest, let me explain my position on Family Guy: it is shit. I used to love Family Guy, but ever since Fox brought it back I slowly liked it less and less until now where I can only barely watch it, with the exception of SOME episodes. The new episodes are mostly shit and the show should have stayed dead. Anyone that still watches this show and loves it still either is really stupid or has really low standards for television shows. Maybe it is the one dimensional characters, maybe it is the unfunny plots, maybe it is the stupid overuse of unfunny fucking cut scenes EVERY single fucking time Mister Macfarlane wants to try and be edgy or make fun of current culture that also have nothing to do with the plot whatsoever... No. It is all of that, plus everything else, like having "jokes" run on for THREE FUCKING MINUTES. I mean, do we REALLY need to fucking sit through "SHABOOPI!" for three god damn minutes, Seth? Family Guy is a shit show now. People need to accept this instead of continuing to watch it.

Now, onto The Cleveland Show. What could Seth do with CLEVELAND, of all people, to make a show based around him more interesting? Why, turn his entire family into the photo negative of The Griffins! Yes. Fat dad, fat son (Cleveland Jr is no longer the hyper skinny kid; shame, that coulda been the one interesting thing), hot wife, daughter, and a baby that has a weird head shape (afro, really) that talks back to people. Oh, and bears as neighbors. Not only that, but the trailer for the show saw Cleveland FIGHTING A COW. Gee, Seth. Where the fuck did you come up with that. Maybe the chicken fight that you thought needed to be done more than once taking up like 3 minutes of an episode?

Seriously. Why the fuck does Cleveland get a show? What is so interesting about him? What could Seth not have done with him, or The Griffins, on Family Guy? Oh, I know. Lets create a show that is basically Family Guy at the core so that instead of buying ONE boxset season of Seths shows, they have to buy TWO! Yeah! Smart move from the Family Guy creators that are behind this steaming pile of shit. Why waste that stuff on Family Guy when they can make an entirely new show and make double the money? Family Guy fans are stupid enough to buy The Cleveland Show stuff Im sure.

Worse of all, apparently Fox has this show signed on for TWO SEASONS. TWO seasons. Please, people. Dont watch this show. Dont buy the boxset. Let this show be a fucking shitbomb to the pockets of FOX and the Family Guy crew. MIGHT there be a funny moment or two within the show? Sure, maybe, but eventually youll find a steaming pile of baby shit with a diamond ring in it.

Seriously, though. who in their right mind thought CLEVELAND of all people deserved his own show? Who in their right mind thought having his family be the same exact thing as The Griffins was a smart move? Is it because people will learn to love it more for being just like The Griffins? Is Cleveland fighting a cow going to bring in that chicken/Peter fight fanbase? Its bad enough we have Family Guy and American Dad. Now we have THIS show this Fall? Jesus. What is the fascination with Family Guy anyway? Why do people consider it funny? Granted, I like The Simpsons but even I know that the newer episodes arent, for the most part, anything compared to the 'golden years'. I dont much care for the early seasons of The Simpsons either, which could actually be said the opposite about for Family Guy. At least with the early seasons of Family Guy it didnt come off as the writers trying too hard. Now its like theyre in creative meetings going, "Fuck the episodes plot! we need 7 more cut scenes! Come on people think! Oh thats good! Spongebob! Flower! Boat! Anal Sex!" and turn it into, "Hey Lois. Remember when we took Stewie to see Spongebob live on that cruise and one of them stupid actos dressed as a flower tried having anal sex with me? Hahahahahahaha."

In short, The Cleveland Show has got to be, hands down, the shittiest idea of a spinoff series ever. I would rather watch current seasons of Power Rangers than this.
