A new episode airs tonight at 8:30 PM Eastern. Here is the synopsis:
 
I liked Roberta's costume, Herbert's cameo, and Rollo's subplot.

I feel like I identified with both Cleveland and Cleveland Jr. I feel sorry for Cleveland Jr., but I also feel for Cleveland being so selfish in wanting his son ti change.
 
I thought that this was the weakest offering of the night, but then again, it was one of those "Cleveland tries to change his son" episodes, and for some reason, I never really like those episodes to begin with. Though Rollo's plot with the candy kind of saved it for me, as I got a few laughs out of it, along with Cleveland and friends egging the bullies at the end.
 
Eh, the laughs came about 5 minutes until the end, so the episode felt like quite a waste, and Cleveland just grows to be even more unlikeable as the series continues.
 
Which is kinda weird because in Family Guy his entire shtick was that he was a low-key nonchalant kinda easy-going guy.

I kinda like Cleveland Jr. most of the humour with him worked for me. Everything else was okay.

Not a bad episode, perse, pretty par for the course from what I've seen of this show.
 
Same thing here. For me, what makes the Cleveland Show work at the beginning was that Cleveland felt more like Hank Hill than the the typical Fox cartoon dad. However, as the show continues, it feels as if Cleveland comparison's to Hank seem to focus less on him being the straight guy in the bunch and more on him concerned about his chubby son (not to mention him turning slowing into a typical Fox cartoon dad).
