So, as I sit here anxiously awaiting the finale of my Project Runway, a commercial comes on for a new dancing show. I assumed it was an ad for one of the many soon to be starting reality tv dance shows. But you know what happens when you assume, and to my astonishment, it’s actually a new show, called Your Mama Don’t Dance… Brought to you by the one and only Lifetime (for losers). The premise is they get a bunch of upcoming dancers and then surprise! Their dance partners are their parents! Oh ho ho! What a twist, maybe it’s just me being a bitter old queen, but all these reality shows are really starting to bug me. Except for Project Runway, it is my new guilty pleasure, it is so fierce! (and also the reason why it’s taking me over an hour to write this tiny post)

I look forward to a long, happy, and amourous relationship with you my readers. ttfn

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – “Family Guy’s” henpecked husband Cleveland Brown might be getting his own show.

The Fox network and the show’s producer, 20th Century Fox TV, are developing a spin-off from their hit animated series centered on Peter Griffin’s bathtub-accident-prone neighbor, sources said.

The project, tentatively titled “Cleveland,” is being written by “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry — a writer/producer who voices Cleveland — and Rich Appel, an executive producer on MacFarlane’s other Fox cartoon, “American Dad.”

Cleveland, who plays off black stereotypes, is the most levelheaded among Griffin’s trio of friends. He’s also pushed around by his wife.

Once canceled by Fox, “Family Guy” triumphantly returned on the network in 2005. It is Fox’s top-rated comedy and has grown into a $1 billion franchise with red-hot DVD and merchandise sales.

Fox executives have made it a priority to find another hit animated comedy to complement their Sunday comedy lineup. They have several cartoons in the works, including an animated version of the 2003 short-lived live-action comedy “The Pitts.” In addition to “Cleveland,” Fox is also developing a spin-off of the drama series “Prison Break,” set at a female prison.
