The Cleveland Show/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • What is with Cookie's bitchiness toward Donna? From what we've seen it appears to be entirely unprovoked.
    • Steelmag9 here. If you watch the Thanksgiving episode from S1, Cookie tells Donna that she doesn't like her because Donna broke his heart by choosing Robert over him. Cookie tells Donna that she feels that Donna is with Cleveland now only because she's fat and Robert left her with 2 kids. Mothers have long memories.
  • Why the hell hasn't McFarlane made Tim's "I'm a bear" a running joke to solve problems. He did it once and it was hilarious
    • Because he doesn't want a really funny joke to turn into a Deus Ex Machina. I'm not saying I don't want it to come back, but I don't want it to be an easy escape for any problem in every episode, to the point where it isn't funny anymore.
  • In The Cleveland Show's part of the "Night of the Hurricane" crossover, the hurricane is said to hit Stoolbend, then pass through Quahog, and then finally end up in American Dad Land. The episodes were aired that order, but from a geographical point of view... the hurricane went from Virginia, to Rhode Island, and then back to Virginia. It went 450 miles to Rhode Island, AND THEN BACK AGAIN! ...why?
    • It's never stated that the events of the hurricane happened in the order the episodes were aired. The TV station has control of the TV schedule and which order the different shows air in.
    • It's probably safe to say that it's just Rule of Funny used by Painting the Fourth Wall.
