Did You Ever See Jonah Hill’s Animated Series “Allen Gregory?”

I’m not sure any of you out there knew this but I fully admit that I had no clue this show even existed. Jonah Hill created an animated series in 2011 by the name Allen Gregory. It lasted seven episodes before being cancelled by FOX and is considered one of the worst animated shows to ever air on television.

The series follows Allen Gregory De Longpre (Jonah Hill), a pretentious seven-year-old boy raised by his father, Richard, and his father’s husband, 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 cast included Jonah Hill, French Stewart, Nat Faxon, Joy Osmanski, Will Forte, Cristina Pucelli, and plenty of others.

Here are some highlights.  I wonder if it would do well today.
