Recap / The Cleveland Show S 3 E 10 Dancing With The Stools

Go To

Determined to claim the first place trophy at the annual "Dancing With The Stools" ballroom dance competition, Donna recruits Cleveland Jr. to be her partner. But their hopes of taking home the big prize misses a beat when Cleveland Jr. professes his love for Donna just moments before their well-rehearsed routine. Meanwhile, Roberta babysits Rallo for a week, and learns that domestic responsibilities are not as easy as they seem.


  • Balloon Belly: Roberta gains weight while taking care of Rallo, after eating all the junk food she's been feeding him.
    Rallo: All you've been eatin' all week is what you make for me. Pop-tarts, mac and cheese, chicken strips. You're porkin' out, girl.
  • Entitled to Have You: Junior is pretty blasé about taking Donna from Cleveland and practically wails when she turns down his proposal.
  • Fat and Proud: Roberta's muffin top doesn't bother her once she puts on Donna's clothes to fit her new body.
    Roberta: (sighs happily) Ooooh yeah. And look! It covers the whole gut!
  • Likes Older Women:
    • Apparently Cleveland Jr. feels this way about Donna, who, by the way, is his stepmother.
    • This also applies to Roberta, who by the time the family gets home, has the same body shape as Donna.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After Junior forces him to move out and Cleveland gets a new place so he and Donna can get together, Cleveland's sitting down to eat when he realizes Junior can't force him out of the house; he's his father and an adult in charge of the actual household, and there's no way he or Donna will split just because Junior wants it so.
