Being a fan of the show and watching it on Hulu, I can not help to notice the reaction from the public about its stereotyping of African Americans. A quick Google search will reveal significant outrage and debate about the shows content and its supposed proliferation of stereotypes to cater to a "white audience". Although I do not agree that the show is inherently racist, I believe that there is enough buzz out there about the show that the controversy must be addressed on this page. I implore you not to delete this section, but to add and refine it as you see fit. I have done my best to present the topic neutrally, yet in the interest of being encyclopedic, most of my references are from blogs.

Timeline continuity prob: Quahog 1982 (Zapped), Stoolbend 1984
How can Cleveland be a young college student in Quahog when Peter makes that 'Zapped' reference to Lois in 1982, but then be a high school student in Stoolbend to laugh at that geek w/ the computer in 1984 ("Field Of Streams" 01/03/2010)??? Macshill ( talk) 04:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone have ratings information? I watched only the first two episodes, which were lousy. Family Guy has been lousy recently too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.97.177 ( talk) 18:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone have ANY PROOF that Comedy Central is gonna air The Cleveland Show on October 7th at 10? The "citation" is to the CC press release page. I have searched through their press releases, all the way back to October, and I can't find ONE talking about them acquiring TCS. Unless we can find definitive proof, the reference needs to be taken down. With all due respect, BrianGriffin-FG ( talk) 16:38, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Seems like it's time to trim (or hack) this section; it's turning into an exhaustive list of every single appearance of the FG characters. Seems like it should also be converted to a prose format. Any takers? DP76764 ( Talk) 03:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
I believe these words from one of the opening paragraphs were copied and pasted from a Seth MacFarlane interview, but no credit was given: "Cleveland has had enough of Quahog – he realizes that he wants his own friends, his own sidekicks, his own stories. So he sets out to California to make it in a way that we'll have to keep a secret until the show starts, and then he ends up somewhere else, which we'll also keep a secret until the show starts. But he basically goes home – he goes to his hometown in Virginia and rekindles an old high school flame."
I might be wrong, but I don't think I am. I would imagine it should be changed, or credited. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 22:05, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Whilst looking for the name of a song in an episode I came across, it occured to me that The Cleveland Show makes large use of popular musicians and pop music in comparison to similar shows, so maybe a list of songs with the relevant shows could be listed as well as the custom-made/modified ones? 82.32.11.95 ( talk) 18:58, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Are all The Cleveland Show episodes not notable? JDDJS keeps redirecting all the episodes to season pages without asking anyone else's opinion. Unreal7 ( talk) 08:40, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
A plot section is missing in this article and should be added. Mantchi ( talk) 00:04, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
On Wednesday, April 17, 2013; the website A. V. Club reported that Fox had cancelled The Cleveland Show. The news was not a surprise since the ratings were very low, and the show even make a joke that they had been cancelled on a Sunday, April 14, 2013 episode. 204.80.61.133 ( talk) 16:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Bennett Turk
This right here is as close as it gets, and it says "unofficially cancelled". I have requested another full protection of this page, this is getting beyond ridiculous. Hearfourmewesique ( talk) 03:36, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
It seems that it has been officially cancelled as of May 13 Fox Releases 2013-2014 Primetime Schedule Redrok84 ( talk) 23:40, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
The Cleveland Show will never air new episodes again. Fox did not renew meaning it is cancelled you just sound like a fan that doesn't want to believe its cancelled. Koala15 ( talk) 23:33, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
I keep trying to write that Cleveland will not be on the schedule next Fall but some guy continuously reverts my edits without even looking at my sources. Yes I know TVBytheNumbers and Collider are speculative sites, but this is a copy of the official press release from FOX and the show is not on the schedule. I'm not debating on whether the show is cancelled, I'm just saying that it will not be on the schedule next Fall. That much is true. 2001:558:6011:79:2109:6DF1:77C5:6431 ( talk) 22:13, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I found a ref that's reputable enough and cites Fox' Chairman of Entertainment as their source, so I added it. Problem solved? Hearfourmewesique ( talk) 17:02, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
I mean, it isn't a good show, and it has been cancelled for years. Why not just merge it with Family Guy, and have a section of the Family Guy page talk about the show. After all, it was a Family Guy spin-off, and nobody really likes the show enough to care if it has it's own page or not.
Also, sorry about the aggressive title of this, I just had to get attention for this serious issue. Nohomerstormented ( talk) 00:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
I apologize (it's been a while so you may not even read this), but this is a major animated show that has not even been considered for deletion before. Yes it is cancelled (The Cleveland character is on "Family Guy" again), but unless someone cares to start this now, more than likely it's staying. Also, I would not consider this a "serious issue"

Why can't I change to was? I mean, the show is CANCELLED, after all. Right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ILoveCrotons ( talk • contribs) 19:12, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Becuase it still airs on cable and is considered a major show. It is on Netflix, and it is all-around just still culturally enjoyed by it's fans and all that if you know what I mean. The brave celery ( talk) 00:12, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi! If you're still intersted, for a start try spotting minor factual errors and grammatical errors. Again just a start!
