The Cleveland Show Opens Well! Desperate Housewives Stumbles!!!

Filed under: TV News

the-cleveland-show1jpeg.jpg

We had our doubts about the Family Guy 2.0 series, The Cleveland Show, but ya'll tuned in, giving it big ratings for its debut.

The new animated sitcom brought in 9.4 million viewers (only slightly down from Family Guy's 10.2 million viewers) and it won second in the night with adult audiences. (All of the real men were watching FOOTBALL!)

Not surprisingly, the return of Desperate Housewives also brought in the big numbers with a whooping 13.2 million. Though that's about a 37% fall from last year, it still holds it own as a must-watch for ABC.

What were U watching Sunday night?

    The uber-lame Cleveland Show is Family Guy 3.0 (the lame American Dad being 2.0).



  13. 13

    "All of the real men were watching FOOTBALL"………………..and some "real men" have fulfilling lifes and dont feel the need to indulge in sports



  14. 14

    I was watching Dexter.



  15. 15

    Family Guy is genius… if you don't get the humor, then there is something definitely wrong with you lol.. BTW, I watched Cleveland Show, loved it… it's basically JUST like Family Guy lol



  16. 16

    LOVE Family Guy, the BEST comedy on TV. However, the Cleveland Show was a major disappointment. Definitely not up to par with Family Guy, hopefully it'll get better, or it won't last.



  17. 17

    can't believe people watch those kind of shows, family is already a shit to have a bad version of it



  18. 18

    i was watchin desperate. i think it was amazing, well next weeks will be

  27. 27

    Re: NYC_CHICK69 – Drop Dead Diva is a very fine show! Desperate Housewives was a little sub par. Cold Case is cold.



  28. 28

    I watched 60 Minutes, Amazing Race, Mad Men, and Entourage.



  29. 29

  30. 30

    I watched Dexter but Tivoed Family Guy. I thought the Disney Universe in Family Guy was hilarious. I didn't care for the Cleveland Show though.



  31. 31

  34. 34

    It would be better without the bear.



  35. 35

    i dvr'd desperate housewives, the cleveland show looked stupid. and i bet you dont even read these, so i like butter on my baked potatoes



  43. 43

    Stick a fork in it- Housewives is DONE! It was done two seasons ago.



  44. 44

    I was watching my girlz the "Desperate Housewives". I also watched the Cleveland Show but I didn't think it was that grreat. I guess it didn't live up to the hype. I think it'll get better over time but if it's on the same time as Desperate Housewives than I choose watch Desperate Housewives. Sorry FOX…. The girlz win!



  45. 45

    That show was too funny. The lil boy was too cute….



  46. 46

    Re: NYC_CHICK69 – unlike does not have any spaces, moron.



  47. 47

    amazing race and DH



  48. 48

    Hardly a laugh in the whole show. I bet the 2nd week ratings will be half.
    If there was to be a spinoff: Quagmire! I mean Cleveland was the most mild-mannered and soft spoken character on FG. I don't get it..



  49. 49

    Re: R3LS – its 'freeze' over you dummy

  50. MP says – reply to this

    Brothers and Sisters…love that show. And The Amazing Race, of course.



  51. 51

    It was terrible.



  52. 52

    DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES!!! Although i really miss Edie. I feel like there needs to be a character that is entirely there for comical relief. All the characters all have real drama now, i need to laugh at someone for being a slut again…

  53. J3N says – reply to this


    53

    DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  54. 54

    i watched FOOTBALL.



  55. 55

    i love this show



  56. 56

    ANYTHING BUT THAT! those family guy things are retardet and wannabes.. leave it to the real deal: simpsons! and that is damn funny. I don't know one person who likes family guy and american dad, THANK GOD! -except for my dad, but he's an asshole..



  57. 57

    Love Family Guy, but watched Desperate Housewives! And that "real men watched football" thing made me throw up a little. HAHA.
