I've loved this show since it's debut. It should've never been canceled. Honestly, I'm surprised this didn't rate any higher with it's intended audience. Like other viewers, I also like Family Guy and American Dad, but I don't think either are SOOOOO much better than The Cleveland Show. Oh well, all good things must come to an end......

I'm too Young for this show and I like numberblocks and Alphablocks and all the other shows I like better! Dora the explorer is my favorite show not The Cleveland Show!
