If "The Cleveland Show" isn't quite as sharp-tongued or focused yet as "Family Guy," it's got the eccentricity to fit into broadcast television's most off-center evening.

The much larger problem is that Cleveland isn't an inherently interesting, or, worse, funny, character.

"Family Guy" might have pulled it off; here it's just boring.
