Biography[]
Family Guy[]
When Cleveland Junior first appeared in the Season 1 episode "Do and Die", he was a completely different character compared to how he is now. He was depicted as a very thin, hyperactive boy that was around 10 to 11 years old according to the early production bible. He was a sixth-grade student at Buddy Cianci Junior High School who spoke very quickly, clearly taking from his father's original quick-lipped persona. He showed to have a rather short attention span as seen in episodes like "Fore Father" and "Peter Griffin's All-Stars", as well as being a bit of a trouble maker, with him pulling pranks on Cleveland consistently, either alone or with his friends Chris and Kevin, or being a general troll as shown in the aforementioned "Do and Die" when he called the radio station his mother and her friend Lois - who was running for mayor in that time - were on to answer questions from civilians and outright admits he called to mess with her. During the first three to four seasons, Junior was meant to be a foil of sorts to the (at the time) slow-spoken and tolerant Cleveland. With his troublemaker ways being a way of showing how Cleveland basically was so mild and passive, he was unable to give orders or punishments correctly. With Loretta being the one to mostly keep Junior in check.
In "The Cleveland Loretta Quagmire", Cleveland Junior was very emotionally distraught when his parents were getting divorced and was very sad around the ending. He outright admits he wished things could be how they were before, but knew it was unlikely. But despite missing his mom after she left however, he still insisted on staying with Cleveland.
Junior appear semi-regularly until Season 4. When he was only seen three times and the remainder of the time was mentioned or was seen in a cameo or pictured. And afterwards, he went absent from the series and didn't re-appear until Season 6's "Breadlosers", fifty-two episodes after his last on-screen appearance, when he's shown in his present enlarged state which was revealed to be caused by Ritalin. And in the pilot episode of The Cleveland Show, "Cleveland Moves In", showcased Junior's new updated personality, being a chubby, dumb, and nerdy teenage boy who still acts like a kid. He also was aged up to be fourteen years old.
The Cleveland Show[]
In the pilot episode of The Cleveland Show, Loretta got custody of the house and they had to move to Virginia. There, Cleveland was reconciled with his old love interest, Donna, who he married, making Cleveland Junior a part of the Brown-Tubbs family.
In the episode Y Tu Junior Tambien, Junior got a girlfriend, named Cecelia Moreno. She was going to be deported, being an illegal immigrant, so Junior married her, legally making her an American citizen.
In the episode A Rodent Like This, it was revealed that Junior was a secret undercover agent, whose real name is Agent Martin Von Sylvester Kumari-Derino III. He was sent to kill Tim the Bear, who was an undercover terrorist, named "Tim the Terrorist". The Original Cleveland Jr., from the first 4 seasons of Family Guy was killed by Junior, so that he could take his place. However, this whole thing was ambiguously a dream, had by Rallo Tubbs, so it can't be taken too canonically.
In the episode Wide World of Cleveland Show, Junior had his 15th birthday and he had learned enough about Mexican culture from Cecilia, to make him want a Quinceañera. Cleveland did not like the idea of this, but since this was his son, he decided to throw it for him.
In the The Cleveland Show finale episode, "Cleveland Moves Out" the Brown-Tubbs family moved out of Stoolbend and back to Quahog again. In the Family Guy episode, He's Bla-ack, the continuity of their move was seen, when The Brown-Tubbs Family was moving back into Cleveland's old house.
Back in Family Guy[]
After moving back to Quahog, Junior and Roberta started attending James Woods Regional High School. Junior befriended Chris, Neil, and Jake. He also underwent a lot of bullying when he first started going there, but it was worse there than it was from his old high school. When Roberta realized that her own friends were bullying him, she made them put a stop to it, establishing a "sibling rule" in the school's bully community, making Junior the only deserving kid, immune to bullying.
In the episode "Junior Sized", Junior tried staying in touch with his girlfriend from The Cleveland Show, Cecelia Moreno. However, due to them having a long-distance relationship, Cecilia had moved on and started dating someone else, meaning that he was single again. At the end of the episode, Junior found love with Meg.
In the episode "A Shot in the Dark", Peter accidentally shot Junior, leading his family and other members of the African-American community to see this as an intentional hate crime and an act of racism, although Junior, himself, did not. In the end, Junior gave to Peter, an eerily mixed monologue, that made his reaction to the situation very ambiguous, leaving Peter on edge, wondering whether Junior had forgiven him or was vowing revenge on him.
Appearance[]

Junior in Seasons 1-4
