Recap of The Cleveland Show “Ladies Night”

Wendy Boswell — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:47:58 +0000

I actually sat down and watched The Cleveland Show as it came on last night; usually I just watch it on Hulu. Last night’s episode, “Ladies Night”, was actually pretty good. Highlights:

Donna getting her drink on with her single friends
Cleveland’s reactions to Donna coming home all tipsy
The campaign for Cleveland Jr. being basically a huge smear job
The bear speaks Italian? Who knew?
Cleveland and the guys puking their guts out to celebrate being single (didn’t work really well)

Overall a solid episode; I like how they’re developing the characters, they seem to be much more fleshed out than other Seth MacFarlane creations.

Marlee Matlin is a good sport; clips from Seth and Alex Almost Live

Wendy Boswell — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:32:25 +0000

Marlee Matlin, who Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein picked on a bit during the “Seth And Alex Almost Live Comedy Show”, responds to the ribbing with a bit of her own; you can watch it here.

Here’s more from an EW interview with Marlee:

Were you aware of being mocked on previous Family Guy episodes?
Mocked isn’t the right word. I was just part of the joke. I learned a long time ago from when I did Seinfeld never to take anything seriously and to be part of the joke is the best way to show what a good sport I was.

Were you ever offended by those jokes, or did you always think they were funny?
I personally have dealt with any adversity in my life with humor. That’s why I told America to “Read my hips!” on Dancing With the Stars or was happy to play along with Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld in the great restaurant scene on Seinfeld. I know a lot of deaf people might have been offended when they made fun of my voice but remember, it was MY voice they were making fun of. I was more than happy to show up and show them that I could dish it as well as I could take it and that being offensive works both ways.

What about this skit — offensive or funny? (Or both/neither?)
It was sick. It was twisted. It was rude. And it was very Family Guy. People love [MacFarlane's] stuff. They don’t pay him the big bucks for nothing and I was glad to be part of it. I want to do it again and BE the voice. BTW, it only would’ve been offensive if I hadn’t laughed and I loved that you couldn’t quite figure out if I was seriously angry at Alex or not!

As a very visible member of the hearing-impaired community, were you hesitant to be involved in a skit like this?
No. If I were, I wouldn’t have ever done Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, Howie Mandel’s hidden camera show, My Name is Earl and this show. And it’s why I’m developing a very politically incorrect and very funny show for Showtime with Mario Cantone and Carol Leifer (who, BTW, wrote my episode for Seinfeld).

Next, here are a few more clips from the “Seth and Alex Almost Live Comedy Show”:

Alex and Seth Almost Live – what did you think?

Wendy Boswell — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:34:29 +0000

Well, it was a first for Alex Borstein and Seth MacFarlane this Sunday night – a live (almost) comedy show that was highly anticipated ever since Microsoft famously backed out. What did you think? Highlights:

Renee Zellweger impression
the whole Marlee Matlin thing (”and the phone kept ringing and ringing and ringing”)
LOVED the nightclub set, very 1940’s
screen tests (the Bea Arthur one was fantastic)

Overall it was pretty good. Here’s the show if you weren’t able to catch it.

Fox has just uploaded a fun video exploring the origins of Stoolbend (ew) Virginia, the main place setting in The Cleveland Show.

In the video, Mike Henry talks about where they got the name for the town and various poop-related jokes you’ll see mentioned in the show. GROSS.
