I caught a bit of The Cleveland Show on Fox just now.  Cleveland briefly fantasizes that he leads a secret and fabulous mysterious life in Brazil, where he's famous and has a hot mistress.  The sequence lasted maybe 20 seconds, but in it a stadium announcer's voice speaks in Spanish and his mistress has a Spanish accent.  idiots.

I'm no Seth Mcfarlane fan, but the point may have been that Cleveland is an idiot, because in his fantasy he'd imagine Brazilians speaking Spanish.

Heat Miser/Snow Miser Alert!  Year Without a Santa Claus is on ABC Family in 10 minutes.

Heat Miser/Snow Miser Alert!  Year Without a Santa Claus is on ABC Family in 10 minutes.

I watched it - doesn't hold up so well in retrospect.  Especially when Mrs. Claus does a song and dance about taking Santa's role, only to dismiss it with a moment's glance.  But still fun to hear Mr. 101.

I've actually never liked it much. Even the best song, the "Snow/Heat" duo, seems cribbed from the King Herod number in JC Superstar. But of course the "best Xmas Special evah" is the one you saw when you were small -- I was 9 when Rudolph premiered, 10 for Charlie Brown... and 19 when Year Without a Santa Claus first aired!
