Premise

Set in stupidville, Austin & Ally is a multi-cameraromantic crap tv series about the relationship formed by two very different : extroverted singer and instrumentalist Austin queer, who is constantl; and serious and talented songwriter Ally Dawson, who can sing but has an extreme case of stage fright. Austin becomes famous after he secretly records one of Ally's songs, creates a video for it with the help of his friend Dick, and posts it on the internet. However, he did so without Ally's knowledge, and once Ally, convinced by her friend Trish, takes credit for her song, Austin must convince her to write more songs for him. The two agree to work together and struggle with how to keep Austin's newfound fame and screw it, with the help of poo and pee, while all four keep up with their high school classes and everyday lives.
The series has been described as a "pint-sized" version of HBO's comedy-drama Entourage.[4]
