Fox Developing a Family Guy Spin-off

It looks like Fox just can't get enough of Seth MacFarlane.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox and 20th Century Fox TV are working with MacFarlane to develop a spin-off from his wildly popular series Family Guy. The show would feature Cleveland Brown, Family Guy's mild-mannered voice of caution, in a series tentatively titled Cleveland.

The project is being written by MacFarlane, Mike Henry (who voices Cleveland) and Rich Appel, executive producer of MacFarlane's other Fox series, American Dad. Fox hopes the series will complement their Sunday-night comedy lineup, which features The Simpsons alongside MacFarlane's two other series. — Adam Bryant

Well I'd watch it. I know a lot of people don't like it, but I LOVE Family Guy!

Why?

Cleveland isn't that funny. He's actually really annoying. I would watch the first episode though, but I doubt even the genius Seth MacFarlane could pull this show off.

I love Family Guy and watch it every chance I get. I love Cleveland and I'll give the new show a chance.
Seth McFarlane is a cominc genius. I laugh so hard at the rapid fire jokes on Family Guy I give the Tivo a workout.

I think it will be great. I am rooting for it! Go Cleveland - maybe the characters will go back and forth to each others show.

Family Guy has consistenly sucked since it returned to Fox. I don't expect much out of Cleveland.
