The Cleveland Show is an American animated series which premiered on September 27, 2009 as a part of the "Animation Domination" lineup on Fox. The series was created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry, and Richard Appel as a spin-off from Family Guy, which was also created by MacFarlane.
In the beginning of the series, Cleveland Brown and his son, Cleveland Jr., move from Rhode Island to the fictional town of Stoolbend, Virginia.
Cleveland has kind of had enough in Quahog - he kind of realizes that he wants his own friends, his own sidekicks, his own stories. So he sets out to California to make it in a way that we'll have to keep a secret until the show starts, and then he ends up somewhere else, which we'll also keep a secret until the show starts. But he basically goes home - he goes to his hometown in Virginia and rekindles an old high school flame. -Mike Henry
In the closing scene of the season seven Family Guy episode "Baby Not on Board", Cleveland breaks the fourth wall by mentioning to Quagmire that he is getting a spin-off.
The theme song originally contained a line referring to Cleveland's "happy black-guy face," but this was replaced with "happy mustached face" to make the song more racially sensitive.
