New series in focus: Fox's 'Allen Gregory'

One of two new Sunday animated series for Fox next season will be "Allen Gregory," co-created by and starring Jonah Hill as a worldly 7-year-old (a drier personality than Stewie of "Family Guy," but similar smarts) forced to slum it in elementary school. You'll get an immediate sense of the show's sense of humor from the clip above.

The sneak peek offers an arrogant kid whom the producers clearly realize must have a vulnerable side to avoid being annoying — how well they can walk that line will be a key to the series' creative success.

Nat Faxon, French Stewart, Joy Osmanski, Cristina Pucelli, Will Forte round out the regular voice cast (Leslie Mann guests as second-grade teacher Gina, while Renee Taylor voices the role of the principal). Hill exec produces with co-creators Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul, as well as Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope and David A. Goodman.
