Allen Gregory is an American animated television series that aired Sundays at 8:30 pm on Fox from October 30 to December 18, 2011. The series was created by Jonah Hill, Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul. The series received enormously negative reviews and was cancelled by Fox on January 8, 2012.
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.
Hill co-created the series with Mogel and Paul. All three, along with Peter Chernin and Katherine Pope, serve as executive producers.David A. Goodman, who was with the series Family Guy from its 2005 return to television, until its ninth season, is also an executive producer in addition to being the showrunner. The series is a co-production of 20th Century Fox Television and Chernin Entertainment.
Fox placed an order for seven episodes in October 2010. On July 12, 2011, Fox ordered six additional scripts of the series. Although unknown if the scripts were ever finished, the scripts were never produced into episodes.
The season was originally available on the iTunes Store and Amazon for download at the time. However, it was eventually taken down for unknown reasons. Also, no DVD release has been announced or released to date.
