The absurdity of an omniscient sophisticate still in short pants carries plenty of comedic potential. Read full review

So pleased with itself, it doesn't seem concerned about pleasing us. Read full review

I love the way Allen Gregory talks down to every adult he encounters, as if they're members of a lower species. But the world built around that core of satire is a lot less promising. Read full review

Maybe as an animated sketch on "Saturday Night Live," Allen Gregory would leave viewers eager for more. But in half-hour form, it's too much of the same. Read full review

Perhaps Allen Gregory's arrogance is meant to be entertaining, but I just found it mostly insufferable, despite his occasional flashes of self-awareness. Read full review

With no other likable characters and a thin premise, Allen Gregory seems as one-dimensional as the animation. Read full review

Allen Gregory is not funny--not even a little bit--and it is not remotely entertaining. Read full review

If you're used to the humor of the Simpsons and Family Guy, you may not like this show.

The show is smart, a little too smart but it is funny, has great quick-witted writing, and excellent storytelling. I think its problem was that it went over peoples heads. People didn't want it to succeed, the masses want to only see Seth MacFarlane creations and played out Simpsons humor. RIP Allen Gregory, hopefully Adult Swim picks you up and lets you grow.… Expand

I like this show enough to sign up to review it. I see the humor in it. I cannot understand how so many people find it unbearable and unfunny. It is baffling that people are so critical after 2/3 episodes.

A Great Concept Wasted
This show has a pretty good concept and has the talents of Jonah Hill, should be hilarious right?, Unfortunately, nope. Instead it ends up being extremely pretentious, unbearably arrogant, poorly written,mane flat out irritating.

Allen and his father are obnoxious people, which makes you hope that bad things happen to them. I dont know how the writers and producers can come up with something like this, build up the hype for several months prior, and not realize what kind of pile of crap they're coming up with. Hopefully it doesnt make it through the season...… Expand

There are reasons people say this show is horrible. One thing I can tell you is that, they are all true. You will hate every single character, who of which show no likable qualities whatsoever. You will not laugh.(This is supposed to be a comedy, God forbid!) There is no reason to watchThere are reasons people say this show is horrible. One thing I can tell you is that, they are all true.

There is no reason to watch this show except for witnessing it's abrupt end. P.S. Thank God, it only has 7 episodes.… Expand
