The producers of Fox’s awesome animated series “Family Guy” is doing a spin-off show on Cleveland Brown, the slow-talking, accident-prone neighbor of Peter Griffin’s.  Read more about the “Cleveland Show” and see video of the hilarious new show below.

The spin-off will be all about the Brown family, with writer/producer Mike Henry continuing to do the voice for Cleveland.

Cleveland is a deli owner in his 40’s that was married to Loretta Brown but he divorced her after discovering she was having an affair with one of his buddies.

Fox describes the Cleveland show:

Everyone’s favorite soft-spoken neighbor CLEVELAND BROWN moves to his hometown in Virginia with his 14-year old son, CLEVELAND JR. Many years ago, Cleveland was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA. Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he’d be there when she called. Well, this man done her wrong.

Donna’s husband ran off, leaving Donna with a teenaged daughter and young son. Now she’s open to Cleveland and offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously unites with Donna, and he and CLEVELAND JR. move to Virginia to join their new family — a rebellious new stepdaughter, ROBERTA, a 5-year old stepson who loves the ladies, RALLO, and a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER, a hipster wanna-be, HOLT, and a family of talking bears: TIM and his wife ARIANNA.

“Cleveland” will be produced by “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, former “Simpsons” writer and “American Dad” executive producer Rich Appel and “Family Guy” writer-producer .

The Cleveland Show starts in Fall of 2009.  See a video preview of the show below:
