The Cleveland Show/Characters

The characters for the Cleveland Show

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

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.

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.
