From moviesonline, I have always believed that there is two kinds of people out there. People who love The Simpsons and people who love Family Guy. I am of the latter. I never really jumped onto The Simpsons bandwagon. I always thought the show was vastly overrated. Don't get me wrong the show is funny from time to time but it has run its course. Its time to let go.
Family Guy has always been hillarious and if you watch it you know they can do anything with it and the likelyihood that it would loose any steam is minimal. The show for one reason or another was once cancelled but due to the overwhelming amount of DVD sales FOX has brought the show back on the air and is now its number one rated comedy.
So it seems that it is a no-brainer that they branch the show off. Not long ago we told you about this project and now we have a lot more details to tell you about. Mike Henry of course will be returning to voice Cleveland which is a little odd because the guy is actually white. So they have brought on board Kevin Richardson, an african american, to voice a white "redneck" who lives next door.
Also joining the cast are Sanaa Lathan (Love & Basketball), who will play Donna, Cleveland's new love interest. Donna is a single mom with two kids, one of whom will be voiced by Nia Long (Soul Food). Long will play Roberta, a rebellious teen.
"The Cleveland Show" revolves around Peter Griffin's pal Cleveland Brown, who decides to take his son and move to Stoolbend, Va., where he moves in with his high school sweetheart and encounters a new cast of characters.

What about people who love both the Simpsons and Family Guy, you dork?
Man, I get tired of people talking about how the Simpsons has "run its course." It's seemed like a fresh statement for TEN FREAKIN' YEARS, and why?
1. Because that's when the era of mind-blowing, consistent, genre-defining Simpsons wound down, leaving behind a "merely" always entertaining, a few times a year brilliant version of itself (as evidenced by the fact that it's still here while countless other shows have come and gone).
2. People are idiots. As with the Matrix sequels, they see a downward slope on the quality graph and completely fail to notice that the red line is still way higher than everything else.
I don't know why I'm caring about this right now...
