Allen Gregory

Allen Gregory is an American adult animated sitcom created by Jonah Hill, Jarrad Paul, and Andrew Mogul for Fox. The series follows a pretentious seven-year-old boy named Allen Gregory De Longpre, who, along with his adopted sister Julie, is raised by their two rich fathers, Richard and Jeremy.

The series received generally negative reviews from critics. On December 18, 2011, the series was cancelled after only one season with seven episodes.

The series follows Allen Gregory De Longpre (Jonah Hill), a pretentious seven-year-old raised by his two fathers, Richard and Jeremy. Allen has an adopted sister, Julie. Allen must start attending a public elementary school due to the effect of the recession on his family's finances. Richard also pressures Jeremy to secure employment due to the financial issues, although Richard avoids divulging information to Jeremy as to why they need additional income. Allen is enamored with an elderly school principal, Judith Gottlieb, much to her disapproval. She protests but is forced to accept his behavior due to pressure from the school superintendent, who is friends with Richard.

The series was a co-production of 20th Century Fox Television and Chernin Entertainment. Jonah Hill co-created the series with Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul. All three, along with Peter Chernin and Katherine Pope, served as executive producers. David A. Goodman, who was with the series Family Guy until its ninth season after its 2005 return to television, was the showrunner and a further executive producer. South Korean studios Yeson Entertainment and Hanho Heung-Up Company handled the series' animation.

Fox placed an order for seven episodes in October 2010. On July 12, 2011, Fox ordered six additional scripts of the series.

Allen Gregory received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and was generally panned by audiences. Chris Swanson of WhatCulture gave the pilot episode a rating of 0.5 out of 5, saying "There is nothing charming, witty or interesting about this show. It's just one horribly stupid, cringe-inducing moment after another with characters who are truly loathsome and unpleasant." Robert Bianco of USA Today also gave the show a negative review, saying it was "nasty and brutish", "rarely funny", and made them "hate every character except Julie". Metacritic gave the show a weighted average score of 40 out of 100 based on 21 reviews.

Allen Gregory aired on Global in Canada, simsubbed in most regions. In the UK, it was shown on E4.
