There were at least four great LOL moments in this week's show: 1) "Of course you can go but just make sure before you go you leave my dinner in the oven & lay my clothes out for tomorrow. There's a good girl." 2) When Donna came home drunk, slipped her head under the covers & Cleveland going, "Mumma ma mumma ma mumma mama mama mumma ma mumma ma mumma mama mama - Oh yeah!" Zzzzzzzzzzz...3) "Don't worry, I'll wear a condom."4) And the group vomiting scene. Only about half a dozen episodes in & Seth MacFarlane already managed to work in his first group vomit scene. I couldn't find any of those scenes on YouTube but I did find a couple of classic Cleveland moments from past episodes:

I find the show if more low brow and humorless than Family Guy How the same people that made American Dad! can turn around and come out with cr@p like this really surprises me.

Family Guy, American Dad & The Cleveland Show all lowbrow; that's Seth MacFarlane's humour. They're all his work so the humour's the same in all three. TCS's only a new show with new characters but it's already finding it's feet faster than AD did. The first couple of episodes didn't impress me much but I stuck with it because knew Seth would deliver the goods!

American Dad! was born out of what was believed to be Family Guy's demise and therefore given a completely different tone while still maintaining a family unit. The show is highly satirical and the Smiths not really as dimwitted as the Griffin's or Brown's. Many say it's differences from Family Guy and Cleveland are due to Seth having little day to day input apart from voicing Stan and Roger

As far as I'm concerned, it's six of one, half dozen of the other. If you really like one of the shows then you'll like the other two (unless you make a conscious decision not to). They're all come from the same person's mind & all parts of the world he created & when you watch the show the trials & tribulations (& gags) written for Cleveland & Donna could've just as easily been written for Peter & Lois (& vice versa). I enjoy all three shows.

no Sir, i don't like it. I was really trying to give it a go, but that vomiting scene last night was it's 3rd strike (the first 2 being Rallo and changing Cleveland Jr.)

I don't like the bear; I know a talking anthropomorphic critter is a Seth MacFarlane tradition & one I do like, I just don't like the bear all that much...
