Fox Cartoon Spin-Off
To Be Called 'Cleveland'

The Fox TV network, among the leading purveyors of America's idiot culture, plans to spin off a new animated series from its raunchy Family Guy show. It will be called Cleveland, named for Cleveland Brown, a neighbor (pictured here) who appears as a character in Family Guy. Those of sufficient age to remember '70s TV might find this at least vaguely reminiscent of how the show The Jeffersons spun-off from the popular series All in the Family back in the day. The Jeffersons also happened to be the Bunkers' neighbors, before they made the fateful decision about "movin' on up to the east side." If you have the stomach for it, you can review earlier items on the idiot culture here.
