Bigger shocker: Bart Simpson is a girl or Cleveland Brown is white?

[NewIdentity]

I wonder how much "grief" FOX is going to take, because the star of their new animated comedy show is a white guy playing the black lead roll.


I give you Cleveland Brown, Before and After animation. :)

Personally when I first heard Family Guy was getting a spin off I was hoping it would be the Glenn Quagmire show. Giggidy, giggidy.

Glen Quagmire: Hello, 911? It's Quagmire. Yeah, it's caught in the window this time.

I don't understand why this is an issue.

[AlexB]

I don't understand why this is an issue.

Unless he blacks himself up in the recording studio I agree - don't see an issue?

[Karlifornia]

This is most shocking news in cartoons since thzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[EagleFan]

Wow, trying to make an issue out of a non-issue? Must be a slow news day.

[Schmidty]

What?

You're about to be brutalized. :)

[NewIdentity]

I don't understand why this is an issue.
Actually I was just posting this as a joke here at FOFC.

But, you must live in a different world than me if you actually believe this is going to be a complete non-issue when The Cleveland show airs.


I got $5 in my pocket that says we will see at least 1 Al Sharpton interview on this. Any takers?

[jetpunk2000]

uhm...hasnt he done the voice for like 10 years now?

[Greyroofoo]

I'm just shocked they decided to do a show around Cleveland.

[Pumpy Tudors]

uhm...hasnt he done the voice for like 10 years now?
Yeah, I don't know why this would be a big deal now.

[Schmidty]

I'm just shocked they decided to do a show around Cleveland.

Yeah. And they canceled one of my favorite shows to do it - King of the Hill. Yeah, yeah, a lot of you hate it, blah, blah, blah. But I think that most people that gave it a chance would like it.

Anyway, I'll give this new show a few shots, but if it's as bad as "American Dad", I'll be pissed.

[Danny]

I was reluctant initially watch King of the Hill, but when I gave it a chance, I enjoyed it very much. Probably more than Family guy now.

[Mustang]

Hitler sums it up in Minute 2:40 - 3:00

Wait people don't like King of the Hill? That was a funny show.

Oh I know that this will be some sort of issue, I'm just saying it shouldn't be at all.

QFT. I kept coming back to that show thinking I missed something, but every episode that I watched it was like "nope, still sucks"

[DanGarion]

But hasn't the guy that did his voice always been white? Nothing is changing...

[PackerFanatic]

But hasn't the guy that did his voice always been white? Nothing is changing...

Exactly.

[Kodos]

For the record, King of the Hill does suck.

[Schmidty]

For the record, King of the Hill does suck.

I hate you.

[Sun Tzu]

King of the Hill is funny in no way, shape, or form.

[Young Drachma]

It'll make it easier to cancel it.

[Autumn]

I still don't get this controversy. This guy just does the voice right? people will be upset that a voice actor is white and his character is black? Or is there more to this story that I'm far, far too lazy to look up?

[Pumpy Tudors]

There is nothing to this story. Nothing.

Hey, did you guys know that the voice for Scrooge McDuck was done by a person? Not by a duck? It's true. I heard it on the internet.

[Chief Rum]

There is nothing to this story. Nothing.

THAT DOES IT!! I'M DONE WITH THE INTERNET!!

[Pumpy Tudors]

So how's everyone feeling about the huge controversy when this show premiered two weeks ago?????

[ISiddiqui]

Biggest shocker: The Cleveland Show hasn't been canceled yet! :eek:

[Galaxy]

Biggest shocker: The Cleveland Show hasn't been canceled yet! :eek:

Yeap....It's just a carbon copy of what FG has come. While I still watch FG, it sucks now. The pre-cancelled shows were great and actually had a story (with the humor inserted better).

[NewIdentity]

Acually, it was renewed for its 2nd season before the first episode even aired!

[Schmidty]

King of the Hill weeps.


(Shut up haters)

[Karlifornia]

King of the Hill weeps.


(Shut up haters)

King Of The Hill was a good show, and it had a good run. However, if it wasn't "The Cleveland Show", it would have been something else.

[NewIdentity]

King of the Hill weeps.
I was dissapointed that Hank Hill never went into business for himself with Hill Propane. And, Lucky pretty much killed the show for me.

[bronconick]

I spent every episode that I ever watched King of the Hill hoping for Peggy's violent death. Preferably while doing something that she considered herself to be an "expert" in.

[cthomer5000]

I can safely say I never "got" King Of The Hill. I watched 5-8 episodes over the years and just couldn't figure out what the hell i was supposed to be experiencing.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Yeap....It's just a carbon copy of what FG has come.

Right down to the music based on the few minutes I endured last night.

[RomaGoth]

King of the Hill was a terrible show. It might have been funny the first season or so, but I couldn't really say because I stopped watching it after that.

[Drake]

I watched two episodes of The Cleveland Show last night hoping it would get better...it didn't.

It could just be that I'm a cartoon racist, though.

[Drake]

dola...

My kids' evaluation of it: "It's not even as funny as American Dad."

Talk about doubly damning criticism.

[RomaGoth]

I watched two episodes of The Cleveland Show last night hoping it would get better...it didn't.

Cleveland Show is awful. I couldn't watch more than about 30 seconds of it before scrambling for the remote.

[DaddyTorgo]

the only thing that makes Cleveland Show bearable is Rollo.

[AlexB]

Is it just me, or does this post make no sense at all???

The only epsiodes RG watched were funny, so he stopped watching and decided the show was terrible, but he doesn't know for sure....

[SackAttack]

The first episode was okay. The second one I stopped watching before the first commercial break. Yikes.

[RomaGoth]

I meant to say episode, not season. My apologies.

[AlexB]

That's cool, I'm tired and couldn't get my head around it! I get a bit stuck on things like that at times - my brain doesn't switch off from work.

FWIW I agree the show wasn't funny in the first place!

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Would you like to play with Cleveland, Jr?

Still waiting for this.

[RendeR]

King of the Hill sucked. If I wanted to watch a caricature of southern inbred stupidity I'd just setup a webcam anywhere in Texas.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Well, that didn't turn out as I had hoped.

[Greyroofoo]

I'm shocked that Jar Jar Binks is black.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I'm shocked that Jar Jar Binks is black.

Shit. Does this mean we have to like him now or it's racist? Or is it that we can say that we have nothing against him because he's black, but it is his individual personality that annoy the piss out of you. If he's gay, we're all screwed.

[JediKooter]

Wait...Jar Jar Binks is gay?

[Pumpy Tudors]

I'd like to rescind my bumping of this thread.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Still waiting for the controversy.
