Many rabid Family Guy fans have begun asking the question, “Is Cleveland leaving?” and justifiably so. His new spinoff show, “The Cleveland Show”, which debuts next month on Fox, will feature him as the main character.
In my opinion, there are three possibilities for the future of Cleveland, read on to find out.
3. Cleveland Disappears from “Family Guy”
I think that of all the possibilities, this is the least likely. We know that Mr. Brown will be getting his own outlet to highlight his story and adventures, but you must remember that he is Peter’s best friend. I just don’t see the creators completely eliminating him from the cast.
As things are now, Cleveland isn’t an every-episode character, but when he does show up I think that he makes a great addition to the episode. While he will probably show up even less often than before, I don’t see him completely disappearing from Family Guy.
2. No Change
There is a slight possibility that Cleveland’s appearances will remain steady on the main show. I think this is possible because of the lack of continuity possible in cartoons. The Griffins often experience what would normally be life-changing events almost every episode, yet the next week it’s as if nothing happened.
Family Guy has indeed evolved into a more continuous story, so perhaps they will continue this by moving Cleveland out of Quahog for good, only to visit occasionally.
1. Cameos
I think that of all the directions possible, this is the most likely. Cleveland will probably show up a few times per season, perhaps on a vacation or perhaps in an episode that takes place outside of Quahog.
Peter, Joe and Quagmire are likely to be very sad at this, and may have to search for a replacement friend. Hopefully, we will still see him as an occasional guest star.
So, what do you think is most likely? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
