Fox Please Cancel “The Cleveland Show”

I said please. Pretty polite wouldn't you say? The truth is, you are ruining Sunday night TV viewing for the entire planet. It is as simple as that. I have no idea why anybody would think that this show has any merit along comedy lines at all. If there is a Futurama episode on that I have seen a zillion times, I am still watching it. I can't even sit through two minutes of a brand new episode of The Cleveland Show. It's that bad.

There is a simple formula for funny TV shows. Have a funny or strong main character and have funny supporting characters. The Cleveland Show has none of these. Sam had Cliff and Norm. Hawkeye had Frank Burns. Andy had Barney. Jed had Jethro. Jerry had Kramer. You get the idea. Cleveland has nobody. A talking bear? Seriously? Terrible.

I get that they are trying to rip off the sucess of the Family Guy's characters but they failed. You can take second banana like Cleveland and put them with 4th stringers and expect it to be funny. Nobody is watching preseason football after the first quarter because the big guys aren't playing. The Cleveland Show is like watching the fourth quater of a preseason football game  between Detroit and St. Louis.

Suggestions? Maybe you can find a washed up toothless sports figure that can barely speak a word of proper english and give them a show. It has to be a hit, doesn't it? Just give me back my Sunday nights. Give  me something to flick to during the football commercials.
