Don’t let the innocent look of Allen Gregory (voiced by Jonah Hill) fool you. He looks in the mirror and sees a worldly, sophisticated young man, not a 7-year-old boy, in the new Fox series “Allen Gregory.” It premieres Sunday on Fox. FOX

produce the upcoming remake of “21 Jump Street,” his show’s place in the Sunday lineup between “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy” is a continuation of Fox’s strategy of introducing original shows. But, he said he sees no need to craft a show that will automatically have crossover appeal with other animated series. “We want to do our own thing, and being unique and different than those was really important as opposed to trying to fit in with them,” said Hill, who turns 29 on Dec. 20. “That being said, I think people will connect with it. If you like ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Family Guy,’ you would like our show because it’s irreverent and different and is an original as those two shows were and are. “I don’t think you would want more of the same.” Rita Sherrow 918-581-8360 rita.sherrow@tulsaworld.com

World Television Editor

Viewers will get a sneak peek of the new Animal Planet series featuring local “Skunk Whisperer” Ned Bruha at 10:30 p.m. Sunday on cable 57. The show, which is set in Tulsa and officially debuts Nov. 13, follows the exploits of Ned and his crew “as they face the challenges of capturing home-invading critters and working with each other,” according to press information. Together, they tackle removal of raccoons, possums, bobcats, owls, bats, angry bees, a misplaced donkey and even mountain lions and black bears from owners’ homes using humane methods. Along the way, viewers will get to know Bruha, as well as his crew members Stormy, Chris and Johnny for whom dealing with nature’s wild creatures is just another day on the job. Sunday’s half-hour episode, which repeats Nov. 27, includes a call to remove possums from a home filled with clutter and the 600 Riverwalk Terr./392-9959/selectcinemas.com PUSS IN BOOTS 3D 1:00 3:00 5:00 7:00 9:00 PUSS IN BOOTS (PG) 1:20 3:20 5:20 7:20 9:30 IN TIME (PG-13) 1:20 4:20 7:20 9:45 REAL STEEL (PG-13) 1:10 4:10 7:00 9:40 PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 (R) 1:30 4:20 7:30 9:25

‘Cars’ characters to roll into Oklahoma So who is your child’s favorite car from the “Cars” movies? Is it four-time Piston Cup champion Lightning McQueen, or perhaps his good buddy Tow Mater? Or do their tastes run to one of the new models from June’s sequel “Cars 2,” like maybe sleek British export Finn McMissile? Fans can see these three favorites live and in person, so to speak, when the stock car, the tow truck and the sporty model that looks a lot like James Bond’s Aston Martin pull up to Oklahoma City’s Quail Springs Mall on Nov. 7.

The “Agents on a Mission Tour” is a tie-in event with the DVD debut of the summer Pixar hit “Cars 2,” which is being released Tuesday. There is no charge for families and fans to check out this car show, as well as take part in a variety of “Cars 2”-themed activities including games (like an inflatable obstacle course) and giveaways. The tour stop at Quail Springs Mall is set for 2-6 p.m. Nov. 7 and is located near the main entrance to the Oklahoma City mall’s south parking lot. — MICHAEL SMITH, World Scene Writer
