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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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. |

My kids' evaluation of it: "It's not even as funny as American Dad." Talk about doubly damning criticism. |

the only thing that makes Cleveland Show bearable is Rollo.

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!

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.
