“I get bored pretty quickly … The Cleveland Show, just getting that off the ground was very stimulating, it was a lot of fun to kind of build something new and to see if it could be done.”

Seth also talked about his motivation for coming to work every day:

“I guess what motivates me is that I can’t ever really be content with the status quo. I was sort of – for good or for bad – driven to seek out whatever’s next, what’s the next level, what’s the next step, whether that be creatively or career-wise.”

He also talks about why the character of Cleveland was chosen for the spinoff, rather than the popular choice of Quagmire:

“For a number of reasons Cleveland was the obvious choice, not the least of which had to do with Mike Henry, who does his voice, who is also a writer, is very much a comedy powerhouse and he himself was an obvious choice to run a series,” said Seth.

Are you upset about this?

Here are a few truths to remember:

In kindergarten, Jack Bauer killed a terrorist for Show and Tell.

When Jack Bauer pissses into the wind, the wind changes direction.

Jack Bauer’s favorite color is severe terror alert red. His second favorite color is violet, but just because it sounds like violent.

When you open a can of whoop-ass, Jack Bauer jumps out.

When Google can’t find something, it asks Jack Bauer for help.

You can lead a horse to water. Jack Bauer can make him drink.

STILL UPSET?!?!?!?

Jack has a few words to say to you:

Family Guy: “Big Man on Hippocampus”

Awesome “Family Feud” montage in the beginning, with hilarious Lois and Richard Dawson makeup session (both funny and completely disgusting, the hallmark of truly funny FG jokes). As Peter loses his memory, Quagmire makes the moves on Lois, with really weird groceries to add to the whole ambience of the thing. Fake Adult Swim commericals and excellent guest voice from the Rock nicely rounded out this episode.

The Cleveland Show: “Field of Streams”

No matter how much I really want to, I just can’t get into the Cleveland Show (although next week’s episode starring Jane Lynch might turn the tide for me). Cleveland flashes back to his high school memories of drinking and getting picked on by jocks, only to find out that his actions then impact his actions in the present, and various time travel shenanigans ensue. Meh.

American Dad!: “Don’t Look a Smith Horse in the Mouth”

The Smith family learns to cut corners in this recession – even Fran pitches in to roll her own tampons, which is intriguingly hilarious. Roger the Alien as usual steals the show (why didn’t HE get a spinoff instead of the lame Cleveland Brown?!?!?).

Overall, not too bad a night. What did you think?
