The Cleveland Show/Characters

The characters for the Cleveland Show

Cleveland Brown

 * Characterization Marches On: Looking at his roles in episodes of Family Guy beforehand is somewhat jarring, where he is much more mellow and sane, to the point of being deliberately dull.
 * Depending on the Writer: And whenever he guest stars in Family Guy episodes, he reverts to being the Only Sane Man again.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Papa Wolf: To Cleveland Jr. Early episodes depict his progress into becoming one for his adoptive family as well.
 * Took a Level in Jerkass: While he hasn't become quite as callous as Seth's other father protagonists, he is noticeably more abrasive and self serving than he was in Family Guy.
 * Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: At his worst.
 * Wouldn't Hit a Girl

Donna Tubbs

 * Hot Mom
 * Sassy Black Woman
 * Women Are Wiser: While not without her own flawed moments, she tends to be much saner than Cleveland for the most part.

Roberta Tubbs

 * Bratty Teenage Daughter
 * Sassy Black Woman
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Did somebody say pancakes?

Cleveland Jr.

 * Ambiguous Disorder
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Very recessive and naive. If you mess with him however, he'll take things up a notch in the most Cool and Unusual manner.
 * Big Guy, Little Guy: The big to Rallo's little.
 * Characterization Marches On: Even more so than Cleveland. Only name connects his current counterpart to the pint-sized hyperactive Motor Mouth of early Family Guy episodes.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Genius Ditz
 * Gentle Giant
 * Hollywood Atheist: Though he doesn't refer to himself as an "atheist", because to him atheism is also a religious belief.
 * Kiddie Kid
 * Kindhearted Simpleton: Though he has noticable bouts of unusual logic and talent, he is probably the most consistantly sweet natured of the Brown family, as well as probably the dopiest.

Rallo Tubbs

 * Annoying Younger Sibling
 * Big Guy, Little Guy: The little to Junior's big.
 * Brainy Baby: Well brainy toddler.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Wise Beyond Their Years
