Speaking about the up-coming Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show, Gary Newman and Dana Walden (co-chairmen of Twentieth Century Fox Television) have said that it’s “distinguishing itself” from Family Guy. The production team have managed to find a “tone that’s reminiscent of the flagship but still has an original element to it.” Walden described the show as “very funny” and “very smart.”
The Cleveland Show has yet to be broadcast, but already Fox are considering ordering further scripts and maybe “some additional production depending on how the animatics are looking” according to Newman.
A preview of the show will be seen at the two Family Guy Sings! concerts at Carnegie Hall next month.
