REVIEW: THE CLEVELAND SHOW “DIRTY DANCING 3”

Donna recruits Cleveland Jr. to be her partner for Stoolbend’s annual ballroom-dancing contest, and he responds by telling her that he’s in love with her. Meanwhile, Roberta babysits Rallo for a week and learns a lesson about domestic responsibilities.

Donna’s getting ready for a big dance competition but she’s having a hard time finding a partner because Cleveland sucks. As such, Junior steps in as a replacement due to his sick skills. As a result, Cleveland decides to enter the competition with a new Russian partner straight from Lil Moscow. Weird shit happens though, when the Russian lady tries to hit on Cleveland, and Junior starts falling for Donna, but when his dad finds  out Junior gets kicked off the team. That doesn’t work because Junior tries to marry Donna away from Cleveland, so if you are counting at home Junior has proposed marriage twice this season.

Meanwhile, Roberta is in charge of babysitting Rallo but she just wants to use it as an excuse to hook up with her bf. Rallo’s kind of a pain to take care of and he even has Roberta getting fat by eating all the same junk food she feeds her little brother. As a result, she starts dressing and doing her hair like her fat ass mother.

Despite the fact that Donna burns Lebron James all the way back to the stone age, this episode was kinda stupid. I mean its about Junior trying to get married(again) with a hot topping of incest thrown in for good measure. But, Cleveland does keep the show somewhat afloat with his take on seamstresses and Russian people but he wasn’t the focal point of the episode which is usually needed for The Cleveland Show to score well in the grades. The Roberta/Rallo story was the best part but was terribly short, as I think if this had been blown up a bit, this week’s episode would’ve survived but, alas.
