From our front-page news:
It was only a matter of time before this happened! According to numerous reports, beloved Family Guy character, Cleveland Brown, will be debuting in a spin-off show entitled "Cleveland". Somewhat uncreative, but let's assume the name of the show was chosen in the middle of the writers guild strike.
It might seem odd to have a secondary character in a spin-off, but in many ways it makes sense. Despite being a bit on the slow side, he's a lovable character who throws off some hilarious quotables often. Considering he divorced his wife, Loretta, very early in the Family Guy series, the pilot episode could very-well include a hunt for a woman.
If there is doubt about this rumor being true, Seth MacFarlane himself was the one to admit to it being in production on KROQ's Loveline in mid-January. Despite being cautious about the series, I am looking forward to seeing how they will handle the character outside of Family Guy and whether or not he will continue be a regular stature in that series.

Not much is known about Cleveland other than the fact it will revolve around the Brown clan. It's unclear whether the series will remain set in the town of Quahog or whether Cleveland, along with his wife and son, will continue to appear on Family Guy, though as both series are animated, the double-billing won't so much be a logistical problem as a creative decision.
