Allen Gregory Sneak Peek.

Van McNeil — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:33:58 +0000

Allen Gregory is a new animated series (Sundays | FOX) that tells the story of one of the most pretentious 7-year-olds of our time.

When he looks in the mirror, Allen Gregory De Longpre, (Jonah Hill, “Superbad,” “Get Him to the Greek”) doesn’t see a child. He sees a young man who is intelligent, sophisticated, worldly, artistic and romantic – characteristics he inherited from his doting father, Richard (French Stewart, “Private Practice,” “3rd Rock from the Sun”). The pair share an extraordinary father-son bond – a bond that is sometimes annoyingly interrupted by Richard’s life partner, JEREMY (Nat Faxon, The Cleveland Show, “Reno 911!”), for whom Allen Gregory has minimal respect, if any at all. They live together in a stunning architectural loft, along with JULIE (Joy Osmanski, “Grey’s Anatomy”), Allen Gregory’s adopted Cambodian sister.
