Actually, I'm pretty sure most of the people here like American Dad. At least, I do. It's Family Guy and Cleveland Show that I can't stand.

Going back to Bakshi...

I maintain that the Mini-Squirts is one of the best cartoons to be made by Famous Studios. Which is remarkable, because it's one of the LAST cartoons they did before it was closed down.

You can watch it below.

Yeah, I don't like the characters, aside from Steve and his friends, but American Dad! is the lesser of three evils.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Same.

Ironically the episode I think is the best is the one centered entirely around Steve and his friends that has one token appearance of the family.

Didn't see the 2nd Bond episode. American Dad is okay, but it's a bit dull sometimes, especially the most recent seasons. I like it and Family Guy. I don't hate The Cleveland Show, but I found it more inconsistent than the other two. I watched only the most recent episode of it, and didn't laugh once.

It is highly likely that The Cleveland Show will end this year. I don't think anyone will miss it.

Really? Has it been doing that bad?
Not that poorly I guess, but it is doing poorer than the other AD shows, and they are hitting syndication numbers. Looks like Fox has decided to give Bob's Burgers and American Dad! their own permanent slots now in lieu of Cleveland.

And good riddance. Both are infinitely better than the Cleveland Show, which has barely even gotten 5 laughs out of me throughout its entire run. And great job destroying Cleveland's character and basically making him Peter-lite in the process.

Good.  Cleveland Show is such a terrible show, and it doesn't even have anything to do with it being another MacFarlane show, it's just fucking boring.  There's no charm, no humor, and none of the characters are in any way interesting.  It is a show that you put on to try and cure your insomnia.  I honestly have no idea how it lasted this long.
It doesn't matter what you say, soon you'll be dead anyway.

Can't say that I'll miss The Cleveland Show. I only watched the 1st couple of episodes and it basically struck me as being a black Family Guy Lite. Animation Domination has had to juggle 5 shows in 4 slots for years, so I guess that 1 of them had to go, and FOX chose Cleveland. I can't fault Mike Henry and Seth MacFarlane for trying to have an animated series with a mostly ethnic main cast, but the problem was the Cleveland offered too little contrast from FG to really stand out or be very interesting.
The Star Twins + cartoons + geek speak =Twinsanity!

Honestly, who even likes The Cleveland Show? Even the hardcore MacFarlane fanatics think it's ass.
