The Cleveland Show is an American animated television series that premiered on September 27, 2009, as a part of the “Animation Domination” lineup on Fox in the United States. The series was created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry, and Richard Appel as a spin-off from Family Guy, which was also created by MacFarlane.

The family was conceived by MacFarlane after developing two animated series, Family Guy and American Dad!. MacFarlane took the Family Guy’ character Cleveland and his son Cleveland Jr but redesigned Junior. MacFarlane and Mike Henry pitched a 22 minute pilot to Fox which aired on September 27, 2009 but had been leaked on the internet in June 2009. Before the show premiered, the show had already been renewed for a 22 episode second season. After the first season of the show aired it was renewed for a third and was given the green light to start production. Shortly after the second season of The Cleveland Show aired in 2011, Fox renewed the series for a fourth season.

The show’s family centers around father Cleveland Brown, who was a featured character on Family Guy. His son Cleveland Jr. was also on Family Guy (although for this show he was given a redesign to become older, softly-spoken and obese). Three new characters were added to fill out the Brown/Tubbs family.

Main Cast:
* Mike Henry as Cleveland Brown / Rallo Tubbs
* Sanaa Lathan as Donna Tubbs-Brown
* Reagan Gomez-Preston as Roberta Tubbs
* Kevin Michael Richardson as Cleveland Brown Jr. / Lester
