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

NewIdentity · 08-29-2009, 08:11 PM

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.

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

You're about to be brutalized.

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?

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 · 08-30-2009, 12:00 AM

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.

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

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 · 08-31-2009, 11:43 AM

It'll make it easier to cancel it.

Autumn · 08-31-2009, 04:39 PM

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?

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.

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.

bronconick · 10-12-2009, 09:36 AM

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 · 10-12-2009, 09:54 AM

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.

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 · 10-12-2009, 10:32 AM

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 · 10-12-2009, 10:33 AM

dola...

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

Talk about doubly damning criticism.

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

the only thing that makes Cleveland Show bearable is Rollo.

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 · 10-13-2009, 03:58 PM

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

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!
