"The Cleveland Show," Featuring Arianna Huffington, Picked Up For Full Season By Fox

FOX has ordered an additional nine episodes of THE CLEVELAND SHOW, the FAMILY GUY spin-off, bringing the series to a full season order. Additionally, Arianna Huffington has been tapped for a recurring role and joins previously announced series regulars Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Kevin Michael Richardson, Mike Henry and Seth MacFarlane.

"FOX picking up nine more episodes of our show is proof that an African-American can make it in this country," said Cleveland Brown. "This is a milestone for the United States of America."

THE CLEVELAND SHOW, set to debut fall 2009, is a new animated series that follows everyone's favorite soft-spoken neighbor Cleveland Brown (voiced by Henry) to his hometown in Virginia, as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, Donna (voiced by Lathan), and her unruly kids Roberta (voiced by Long) and 5-year-old Rallo (voiced by Henry), as well as his own 14-year-old son, Cleveland Jr. (voiced by Richardson). Once in Virginia, Cleveland is welcomed by a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, Lester (voiced by Richardson); a hipster wanna-be, Holt; and a family of talking bears, including Tim (voiced by MacFarlane) and his wife Arianna (voiced by Huffington).

Cool

I like Family Guy, and The Cleveland Show will be a great addition. Here's the problem...no mention of an hispanic on the show. It's good when a show can have minorities; hispanics are the biggest minority in the country, and not even a part on a show whose lead character is a minority? Is that too much to ask? Who knows, maybe they'll change their minds, but I doubt it.

[ninetwelve]

who cares.

[majormoderate]

does every single minority need to be represented in every show and every aspect of our lives? thats not progress.

above that, i hardly think family guy is trying to be politically correct.

majormoderate = the voice of reason.

directed at the comments written by behindthescenes:

healing comes at a price, AND healing comes with laughter and with joy. yes, the nation DOES struggle BUT that struggle MUST possess humor and laughter to balance the NECESSARY works ahead of this nation. without this laughter and humor, then we shall all become condemned to know not our innate STRENGTH but only our devouring WEAKNESSES 24.7 -

i am glad to see ms. huffington doing her bit a la jon stewart and stephen colbert to bring levity to the ongoing situation of transformation, and i am also glad to see that ms. huffington, besides being intelligent and radiate as a human being, has laughter and humor and joy within her very heart.....

yes - the work shall never remain undone but the work must also possess the necessary laughter and humor to make the work at hand resonating, profound, and substantial.

[just4shiggles]

I can't wait to see the Cleveland show!!!!! I'm so excited to hear that it's located in VA, my home state, and that Arianna is going to be in it just makes it that much more exciting! I'm a little confused as to why so many people don't seem to know that family guy is on fox, how could a fan not know that? I have boycotted fox "news" but I could never stop watching family guy just because they are on a fox network.

[honeydiva]

why?
