10 Family Guy Characters Who Are Completely Underused

6. Jerome

When Jerome Is The New Black first aired, it didn't seem like Jerome was really going to work out on Family Guy. Supposedly, you need a token black character. Only, do you? Is that funny, or were fans supposed to think it's funny because it's a stereotype? Either way, it didn't matter because soon enough The Cleveland Show did what everyone expected and tanked (though it took longer than most expected since it was a train wreck from the outset) and Cleveland Brown was back on Family Guy. Here's the funny thing, however: Jerome actually stuck around, and works better now. And to some extent, he is being used a little more, having taken over for Horace as the owner of The Drunken Clam. A single father, Jerome has a chance to become much more than just another Horace behind the bar. Lets see a little more of him.
