Fox’s “The Cleveland Show” won’t be premiering until next fall due to the lead-time that animation takes, but Fox wants everyone to be clear that they’re behind the program.

They are SO behind the program, in fact, that they have decided to order the back 9 episodes of the show before the first episode is even finished.

There has been no official announcement of a time slot for the show yet, but since it’s been confirmed that we’ll be seeing it on Sundays, one would assume it will be taking the slot of “King of the Hill” — assuming that show doesn’t get uncancelled too.
