Zap2it's first impressions of The Cleveland Show

Saturday June 20, 2009 by Rob in The Cleveland Show news

Zap2it have given their first impressions of The Cleveland Show based on the pilot episode. “Henry and Co. have made Cleveland a fully realized character,” reports Zap2it. “Rallo is the Stewie stand-in here and, like his counterpart, gets the most outrageous lines.” However, they point out that The Cleveland Show‘s Family Guy style rapid fire jokes have “a definite hit-and-miss quality to some of them.”

TV.com: Kill off Meg

Friday June 19, 2009 by Rob in Family Guy news

Meg Griffin

TV.com have included Family Guy‘s Meg in its Top 10: Characters that need to be killed off list. Here’s TV.com’s anonymous critic’s reasoning:

“Meg’s story lines are boring, her voice is annoying, and do you remember the episode with the shower scene that involved, ‘flossing’? Yuck. Meg is by far the least funny character on Family Guy and ought to start a support group for similar, un-funny characters like Lisa Simpson, Jonathan Bower (Who’s the Boss?) and Tim Meadows. I suppose every surreal comedy show needs a somewhat ‘normal’ character to offset the craziness, but then again, she’s still not funny, so I vote she be fed to giant Iranian goat-eating cockroaches.”

Meg comes in at number 4, with Scrub‘s John “J.D.” Dorian character played by Zach Braff coming in at number 1!
