Hilarious + Under-appreciated

I think the fact that so many people write this show off as unfunny or "too pretentious" just makes me like it that much more. Smart, dryly witty dialog + unexpected subject matter make this show a refreshingly inappropriate favorite of mine. No, it's not The Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, or South Park + it's not supposed to be. It's different, odd, uncomfortable at times, + hilariously so.

Yes, the show's fans seem to be a rare breed, but mass popularity doesn't always equate to a better product. It just means that product is more palatable to the masses. Common. Allen Gregory is an acquired taste, not for everyone, + many will say it's hard to swallow, but I'm among the select few who enjoy + understand what the show is doing.

Thumbs up, Jonah. Thanks for not churning out another obvious, basic animated sitcom.
