The Cleveland Show is an upcoming American animated series created by Seth MacFarlane as a spin-off from Family Guy, also created by Seth MacFarlane.

Background

The Cleveland Show is the working title[2] for an animated series focusing on the character of Cleveland Brown and his family as he moves from Rhode Island to Virginia.[3]

Cleveland has kind of had enough in Quahog—he kind of realizes that he wants his own friends, his own sidekicks, his own stories. So he sets out to California to make it in a way that we'll have to keep a secret until the show starts, and then he ends up somewhere else, which we'll also keep a secret until the show starts. But he basically goes home—he goes to his hometown of Virginia and rekindles an old high school flame.

— Mike Henry[4]

In the closing scene of the November 2, 2008 episode of Family Guy, "Baby Not On Board", Cleveland breaks the fourth wall by mentioning to Quagmire that he is getting a spin-off.[5]


Guests

There will also be an episode in 2010 which features rapper Kanye West playing a character named Kenny West.[6] The producers stated working with West was a very good experience and a reason they chose him was because they knew he was a fan of Family Guy.[6]

Debut

Cleveland will officially leave Family Guy, but it has been hinted that he might return for visits occasionally.[7] The show is scheduled to debut in Fall 2009.[8] The cancellation of the long-running series King of the Hill and renewal of American Dad! leaves The Simpsons and Sit Down, Shut Up as the only two non-Seth MacFarlane series in Fox's animation Sunday night lineup.[9]

The following are the titles of episodes that have not currently been scheduled to air.
