So much to unpack about this story, but the thing that stands out for me is that the woman thought god was going to throw everyone a signal of the rapture with an eclipse of all things.

If she read past the word 'rapture' she should know that the whole idea of it is that NO ONE will know when it is coming. That is the point.

The biggest issue is that none of the characters truly stood out. Oh sure there's a talking bear, but I can't even remember his name much less what he even did.

So much this. It is exactly why I brought up Klaus from American dad. If you have a talking animal, you really have to up your game to make it stand out.

As for what the bear did, he was Cleveland's co-worker and I believe it was for a cable company.

They don't always get the openings they want. So they'll often switch between jumping around and riding someone's bumper. Those driver's make me far more nervous because I don't know if they'll react in time to avoid rear ending me if they're behind me, or avoid side swiping me if they're to my side.

Switch the word 'nervous' for 'angry' and you have my reason for picking fast in the poll as well.

Slow drivers will never rear end my car, and I can pass them in the left. Fast drivers are all over the place and may not even stop if they do hit my vehicle because they are already driving like they have to @%#.

'Ok'

I could pick out a few of the secondary characters that were memorable (the large woman in the motor scooter was one).

Unlike Family Guy with Meg or American Dad with Klaus, there wasn't a standout character (other than Cleveland) that makes you want to tune in when they get a episode all to themselves. Rylo maybe had one or two good episodes where he was the center. Cleveland Jr mostly made me feel bad for him whenever he was the focus.

At its core, the Cleveland show was adequate at being a sitcom about family (matters). It needed more goldfish rapping or young ladies trying to find a Santa claus just to sit in his lap.

We got states over here banning and burning books. George Takei from Star Trek wrote a graphic novel that was educational and that got banned enough for me to even know it existed, and you're going to tell me that I should not vote for Biden over something that is happening in a country half way across the globe (and ignore that religion is scarily stepping over the line in the country I currently reside in).

Not mistaken. I know what this 'sequel' is, but also realize this has taken way too long since the first cartoon ended and several comics (and games) have done their own interpretations of the characters since then. I didn't even bring up the many things I've seen Cyclops doing since the first cartoon ended.

'I have not watched it'

-- Streaming only
-- I already know what happened to most of that cast after the first cartoon ended (especially Jubilee)
-- It is easier for me to conclude that this cartoon is for the people who vaguely watched the original

As a matter of fact, from the rumblings I heard since the first cartoon ended, my favorite X-men Rogue is either dead or became so powerful she is some other worldly being. That is why I'm fine with not revisiting this, among other reasons.
