20th century Fox and Fuzzy Doors Productions jointly ventured for a new animated series called “The Cleveland Show”. The animation tells us about an African American family. The main idea of the story is of Mr. Seth MacFarlane whose other animation creations are Family Guy and American Dad. But unlike the other series Cleveland deals the affairs of a family of black people. In the story we can see that a divorced middle aged black American called Cleveland Brown is shifting his base to California with his only 14 year old son, Cleveland Jr. On his way he meets with Donna whom he was in love with at high school. Cleveland found Donna in Virginia in a fictional town called Stoolbend. Singlehandedly Donna is raising two children. Her teenage daughter Roberta and 5 year old son Rallo. Cleveland marries Donna and starts to live with her.
The main character in this animation show is the brainchild of Mr. Seth MacFarlane. Mr. MacFarlane categorically brings up the typical character of a middle aged suburban male who is an American. A bit sluggish in nature, culturally misfit among the new generation and not very much able to raise up his kid, shows the calmness and vulnerability of the man.
Although the center part of the animation is a black family but still the main point focused here is not racism. Nor the creators try to show all the black people as all square good human beings. Here good people with good qualities and common people with flaws in their nature are depicted clearly as we can find in the real world. The moral subjects are dealt with a direct approach sometimes in a very wrong way so that the audience find the animation hilarious.
More or less each character of Cleveland has a specialty. Lester is a toothless gun lover who resides next to Cleveland and answers every knock on his door by saying that he knows that a black man has been elected as the president of USA. Donna’s teenage daughter Roberta has the habit of saying “That ain’t The View” if someone asks her how she had spend the day. The 5 year old boy Rello seems to be an inborn talent of delivering double standard dialogues. The show has a talking bear. The voice of Jason Sudekis is used for the bear.
The difference between this show and other MacFarlane animation creations is that, here the jokes hit straight and hard. Some of the jokes are able to tickle the audience and some are total wastage. The lovers of MacFarlane’s animations must give Cleveland a chance.
For everyone’s knowledge a white American called Mike Henry voiced for the black character Cleveland. Mike also sounds for Rello. Kevin Michael Richardson is sharing his voice for both Cleveland Jr. and Lester. Vocal cords of Sanna Lathan and Reagan Gomez-Preston are used for Donna and Roberta respectively. Seth MacFarlane himself is dubbing as Tim. The casting is done by Linda Lamontagne. Walter Murphy is the music director and the show is edited by Kirk Benson.
