The Hollywood Reporter Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is writing a new animated series based on the character of Cleveland Brown, who in spite of being especially prone to bathtub accidents, is the most "normal" of Peter Griffin's buddies on the popular Sunday night ABC cartoon series.
MacFarlane is collaborating with Mike Henry, who voices
Cleveland on the
Family Guy and will function as a writer/producer on the new show, and with

Fox TV, which is looking for more cartoon fodder for its Sunday night lineup, has at least three other cartoon series in development including Relative Insanity, which is being produced by Jack Black, Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser's Mothballs, and The Pitts from Mike Scully (The Simpsons).
