I'm the first to say if something "funny" is actually offensive or just plain not funny. This show is funny.
People have complained that the characters aren't likable - that's kind of the point. The whole point is that he's a fish out of water, and Blind Freddy could tell over the course of the series he'll learn to be a good person.
I love Julie! She's hilarious and was underutilised in the pilot. And as far as I can tell, she is actually the audience surrogate for the show - she doesn't like Allen Gregory's snobby behaviour.
This show reminds me of late-nineties comedies like King of the Hill, South Park, Johnny Bravo, to name a few. Maybe that's why I dig it - I miss when these shows were fresh. I guess with Allen Gregory I'm vicariously experiencing late-nineties television all over again.
And I'm really digging it. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one who does...
