From Seth MacFarlane the creator of 'American Dad' and 'Family Guy' comes this spin off: 'The Cleveland Show.' For those already familiar with Peter Griffin and his family you will know who Cleveland Brown is.
Cleveland is the quiet, calm, thoughtful drinking buddy of Peter and now he has his own spin-off show. As fans will already know Cleveland divorced his domineering wife Loretta in 'Family Guy' series 4. In this new show he loses his house and returns to his hometown with his obese son, Junior.There he marries his childhood sweetheart, Donna Tubbs-Brown and moves in with her two children: Roberta and Rallo. Anyone familiar with Seth MacFarlane's previous work will know that he likes to shock and his humour is not always shall we say, politically correct. I'm sure this show will uphold that tradition. Hopefully it will be a spin-off in the mould of 'Frasier' rather than 'The Green Green Grass.' That's the trouble sometimes, what seems at first like a great idea can soon fall flat. The good news about this one is that Fox have already commissioned a second series so they must have faith in it. 'The Cleveland Show' can be seen on E4 on Monday's from 10pm. |

| Cipriani to move to Melbourne |
It was interesting to hear of Danny Cipriani’s planned departure from his current club London Wasps to newly formed Australian club the Melbourne Rebels at the end of this season in the Super-15 Competition.
The 22 year old fly half has won seven England caps but stresses he feels that England Manager Martin Johnson has overlooked him lately only being selected for the second-string England Saxons team. The move to Australia he says is to improve his game and learn from the players down there.

| The Sarah Connor Chronicles |
This is a great little series, a spin off from a HUGE movie franchise. Unless you have been on the planet zog for the last few years or were perhaps born in the 1990s then 'The Terminator' and its sequels have pushed the boundaries and set a lot of the agenda for all things science fiction and a dystopian future where things (namely computers and machines) have gone wrong (read revolted and rebelled).
