This show seems to be getting an awful lot of hate from people, and to an extent I can see why, it does come across as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Family Guy at times and it's not quite as funny as the other Macfarlane shows, but it's still nowhere NEAR as bad as people say it is, it's more character-driven and less dependent on crazy situations then FG is(though they still do pop up on occasion). I actually like Cleveland's new personality, he was getting pretty boring in the last couple seasons of FG, so it was nice to see him become more interesting. the side characters supply most of the humor, Tim and Lester being the biggest contributers, the family members are decent, though not particuarly funny and somestimes tend to fade into the background(especially Roberta). So overall, The Cleveland Show is pretty decent and does it's job well enough, but I just don't have the urge to buy DV Ds of this show like I do for FG or AD.
Decent show, but not quite up to the standards of Family Guy and American Dad
