Not that exciting., 28 September 2009

The racial innuendos in this show are absolutely sickening, while at many times the stereotypes and racist humor is thrown right out there for you. You would expect to see a stir of controversy about this show in the media in the weeks to come, that is when they have free time between the more serious issues going on in the world, although you didn't see much brought up in the past about the rape jokes in Family Guy.

The intro plot doesn't really make a lot of sense. Out of nowhere it seems, Cleveland is automatically dropped into his own family ripped from the Griffin family among others seen on television. This shouldn't be too much of an issue however for current fans of Family Guy as this show is also peppered with pointless (and hardly funny) cutaway segments which rarely tie in to the actual plot.

It doesn't surprise me at all that a show like this made it to the air (it will generate popularity), but I certainly won't bother with another episode.
