Animation Highlights From Fox's 2008-2009 Upfront Presentation

Except he's nothing like Peter.



We'll see.



He's fat now, but we'll see.



Then it doesn't make her Meg.



Except he isn't evil or a genius. Or trying to kill his mother. Or trying to take over the world. He's just a ladies man.



I think she's going to be like Peg Bundy from Married with Children. She's just going to Cleveland because she knows he'll take care of her.
 
I get the feeling the wife will be more 'straight' like Lois was early on. Back when Family Guy started Lois was more of a classic 'straight man' and sitcom wife. Cleveland's new wife will probably have a dynamic like Jay's girlfriend in the second season of The Critic. A good natured single mother looking for a man to treat her right.
 
It wouldn't suprise me if he appeared on both and eventually we get a meta-joke about "Hold up, Cleveland. How the hell are you here and in another part of the country at the same time?!" "There's a very good explanation. See-" *abrupt scene change*
 
Well didn't Cleveland say that Junior took the news of the divorce in a not so good matter? Though because he didn't appear in any episodes since I thought Loretta took him into his custody, or at the worst, commited suicide. Though from the 5-year-old, I am expecting something like Shin-Chan talks to the ladies.

As for KOTH, finally, the baby is coming, despite the fact we haven't even noticed a significant "baby bump" yet. I am interested in all of those upcoming stories. Hank's experience under the knife, Peggy finally gets that she isn't cool, and Buck's astragned child... Out of those I'm more interested in Buck one than Peggy, but that because I don't care what Peggy does anymore, despite it sounding like she'll be sent down a peg. (That wasn't intended to be a pun) Though I can't help but wonder what Hank is going under the knife for?

The Simpsons, I just keep my mouth shut and enjoy the ride like I have for the last few years.

Family Guy, I want to see the Stewie and Brian go back in time to Poland. Though for Lois working at Fox, other than Republican bashing, I sort of imagine a "Ron Burgendy" parody. Other than that... Waiting what jokes they'll make about Empire Strikes Back, and what Meg role will be this time around.

Currently I am looking foward to American Dad stories, my favorite one so far is Roger blowing up the Planet.

As for Sit Down Shut Up, it still makes it look like something from Adult Swim or Comedy Central.
 
Well, like SirLemming guessed, I wasn't being entirely serious about my comparisons. I'm just pointing out what people might see that could make them think it's a Family Guy clone.
 
Oh man, these two shows are destined for a rerun-happy life on Adult Swim. Hopefully Sit Down, Shut Up will actually be funny with all the talent behind it (I'm thinking Clone High)...
