Fox TV adds black voices to 'Family Guy' spinoff

A "Family Guy" spinoff show featuring the character of Cleveland Brown is mixing up its voice cast, ethnically speaking.

"Reilly was asked about a general lack of ethnic diversity across the broadcast landscape this fall..."

I've been asking the same thing!

I never see Asian artists on BET.

What happened to Cleveland's wife, Loretta from Family Guy? Looks like Cleveland moved to a new neighborhood.

I guess i never really thought about it that way.Is Roger from American Dad a real alien..??

What do black voices sound like?

Hopefully this show will be better and less bufoonish than the PJs.

And just think, if there was a White Entertainment Television, it'd be called racist!

Yeah, maybe that's because over half the population of the United States is white. For someone who claims to want to "end the hate", you sure seem to do a lot of hatin' on white people. Hypocrite.

You make me feel good about myself. Everywhere you post, I read what you have to say and then thank god I'm not as big a moron as you.

That was my question too..?I always thought it was whoever brought the character to life the best.I liked the PJ's though..did'nt think it was so bad.It had some damn clever jokes.

I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

My little grandson is no longer allowed to watch Family Guy. He liked Baby Stewie but he was picking up naughty habits from Stewie.

All because of the writers strike we have to wait until NEXT YEAR for any good shows. I hope its worth the wait

Is he trying to take over the world, and plotting to kill his mother? LOL

It's not intended for children anyway. Like The Simpsons (though not as much so), there are too many jokes that are over the heads of kids.

Not quite as bad as that, though he did kick his mother. Basically, he's just picking up some dirty words.
