Just a heads-up for anyone who hasn't seen the pilot online: The Cleveland Show premiers tonight, tucked between The Simpsons and Family Guy.
If you have anything that needs to be done, like washing the dog, or snaking the toilet, or getting your gums scraped, plan to do it during that half hour. Because The Cleveland Show is pathetically unfunny, and you will regret losing the half hour of your life that it takes to watch it.
You have been warned.

I'm going to watch it first before deeming it 'unfunny' or not.
Thank you!
And you are a idiot!!

I agree. And after I watched it (notice: past tense), I found it to be unfunny tripe. I guess that's what happens when Seth tries to spread his talent too thin.

I believe Syvyn11's statement was a classic demonstration of irony.

So, watch The Cleveland Show to see how it is, gotcha!
And whether it'll be to Family Guy what "The Goode Family" was to King of the Hill.

So, um...was it just me, or was this thing...not that bad? Maybe it's because I was expecting an absolutely unmitigated disaster based on the ads that have ran all summer (plus, I'm not what you'd call an FG "fan," per se)...but eh, it wasn't terrible. Wasn't *great*, mind you...but when it didn't send me screaming for the remote, I was semi-impressed.

Same here; considering who's helming it, I'd say there's plenty of potential . . .

Isn't that what they said about Hank Hill?
His was a fairly mundane life, none of the wackiness in the other cartoons, yet it had staying power. That slow drawl even resembles Cleveland's way of talking.

Yes, but what you have to remember is that King of the Hill actually included a few humorous bits scattered throughout the show. The Cleveland Show is as funny as watching dough rise.

And already renewed for season 2! What a waste of money.
Be different if they could burn it off on Fox Family Channel (ABC Family).

It was OK while the Family Guy characters were on.

As far as I could tell, that was the only part of the pilot that was changed before broadcast. Originally, the joke the gang laughs at was not "...and that was how I got Liza Minelli's poop on my shoe", it was "..so basically Saran Wrap does work as a condom whereas Reynold's Wrap does not."
Does anyone find either of these statements funny? Anyone? Anyone?

Predictions on ratings? Keep in mind the late-May episodes ratings for its lead in, 'The Simpsons' and tack on maybe an additional 2 mill for curiosity sake.

I don't believe in ratings. They're all just made up numbers.

"... Otisburg?!?!"
The bear family has the same accent that the Addleburgs did in Home Movies.
Based on last night's viewing, I would have to say that The Cleveland Show sucks. Seth should be ashamed of himself. The only thing it has going for it is that it is on right after The Simpsons and on right before Family Guy.
