Family Guy Spin-off Gets Second Season

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Renewals, Video


After only a handful of episodes, FOX is pleased enough with The Cleveland Show to order a complete second season. (Only 13 episodes beyond this year had been previously ordered.)

Honestly, I’ve no idea why. The spin-off lacks a lot of the hilarity brings to the table weekly, and I just cannot get over that German bear. Ridiculous is one thing. Outlandish is quite another.

There may have been a wedding on Wisteria Lane, but all the attention was on Cleveland last night. Although they pulled in numbers similar to their May finales, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters both had their lowest-rated premieres to date. Meanwhile, the debut of The Cleveland Show had the best 18-49 start for any FOX comedy since March 2003.

FOX Changing Sunday Lineup

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, FOX, Cancellations, Gossip

King of the Hill

is reaching the end of its road on FOX, though the show has long been one of the anchors of its Sunday night, animated-series heavy lineup. Currently in its 13th season, final episodes of the series are expected to air next year.

Created by Beavis and Butthead mastermind Mike Judge, King details the life of Hank Hill, wife Peggy and son Bobby - and a cast of characters that represent the best and worst of Texas living. The Emmy-award winning show is likely being dropped for the new spin-off The Cleveland Show, expected to air during the 2009 season.

American Dad, which runs after Family Guy at the bottom of the 9 pm hour, will be renewed for a fifth year on the network.
