Meanwhile, Junior’s visit to an office-supply store has him pretending to work in a new office! It isn’t long before Junior starts making an impression on the board and even gets his own parking space! Junior ends up making so much money for the company the manager decides to hold a company picnic. To help, Rallo and Roberta tag a long as Junior’s son and wife respectively, but Roberta quickly takes off thereby embarrassing Junior in front of his boss but he doesn’t seem to care. As a result, Junior takes his desk and quits his job to a rounding applause.
This week’s episode of Cleveland Show was pretty great. I mean, George Clinton played a fabulous guest star, and the plot was so good it might have been the best Freight Train episode ever. Craig as Freight really knows how to lay down the pipes too, even while delivering a song with humorous lyrics that just seemed to seal this one up for good. Junior chipped in with a funny plot of his own, but it really didn’t get there until Roberta and Rallo showed up to embarrass him at the picnic, but it was enough. This cookie was delicious…wouldn’t mind some seconds!
