10 TV Shows That Should Never Have Made It Past The Pilot

2. Allen Gregory (2011), 7 episodes

Allen Gregory This show holds a special place in my heart. No, not for being of high quality or anything silly like that. But rather because my negative review of it was quoted on Wikipedia, even if the quote was mangled slightly. As a TV critic, that's when you know you've accomplished something. Why anyone thought a TV series about an overly-intellectual seven-year-old who wanted to have sex with his 80-something school principal would be a success is beyond me. The show had quite a lot of talent wasted on it, including the likes of Jonah Hill and Will Forte. Why they, or anyone else involved in the project, thought this was a worthwhile venture is also beyond me, but then again, I have an IQ higher than that of the average slime mold.
