Zap2it's Fall 2008 TV Preview Presents Know Your Remakes and Spinoffs

The Cleveland Show
FOX

Remake, spinoff or sequel? Spinoff

Source material: FOX's "Family Guy"

What's new: Cleveland Brown (voiced by Mike Henry) makes good on a promise to his high-school sweetheart and moves to Virginia to live with her and her family.

What's not: Anthropomorphized animals (in this case, a family of bears), incongruously grown-up-acting tots and lots and lots of quick-hitting jokes. It is a Seth MacFarlane show, after all.
