There haven’t been enough good spinoffs in recent memory. There must be something about Frasier that just ruined it for everyone, because no big show have managed to put up a part of themselves and nurture it to be as big or bigger than the original.

Now, it looks like Fox is going to swing for the fences with animated race jokes and women behind bars, ‘cause the network is developing both Family Guy and Prison Break spinoffs

Writes the Hollywood Reporter:

The project, tentatively titled “Cleveland,” is being written by “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry — who voices Cleveland and serves as writer-producer on the series — and “The Simpsons” alum Rich Appel, executive producer/showrunner on MacFarlane’s other animated comedy for Fox, “American Dad.”

All we know about the Prision Break spinoff is that it takes place in a woman’s prison.

We’re not against Family Guy here at the B&U, though we might kind of dislike American Dad. Either way, this is the best spinoff news since there were rumors of another American Office making the scene pre-strike.

With Cleveland, the Family Guy creators probably aren’t going to stray far from the formula of a wacky family/American dad/guy, except this time he’s gonna be black, so look for a racier version of the Huxtables.

Maybe Cleveland will somehow wear worse sweaters.
