Meet the Other Browns…

Admit it… you didn’t see this coming. Cleveland Brown (the family guy, not the football team) is getting his own spin-off show and a new family by way of a new wife and step children. If we’re lucky we may get to see Cleveland do the Step Daddy!
I found out about this over on Racialicious, where they seem to be slightly concerned about the stereotypical nature of the daughter character. I’m prevented from being too concerned about it based on MacFarlane and his team of writers’ track record of season upon season of hilarity. On Family Guy, even the racial humor is funny/tasteful enough that I’m not offended. (I bet you never thought you’d see the term “tasteful” in a descriptor for Family Guy!) Plus, judging by the reaction to my Transformers article from last year, no one REALLY cares about stereotypes anymore.
Look for the Cleveland Show to air Spring 2009 and let us pray that it’s funnier than American Dad.
