The Critic - Didn't deserve to be cancelled.

Ya I know this is old but back in 1994 there was this really good animation by teh simpsons writers called The Critic.

Jay Sherman was a movie critic had a couple appearances on the SImpsons. Artie Ziff has the same voice as Jay Sherman by the very same guy.

It is a shame the show got cancelled. I watch an episode on youtube and it was pretty funny.

I also really liked this show. Maybe if dvd sales go up they'll bring it back... Worked for Family guy.

It was a fantastic show. It was on Fox back when the Simpsons were in their prime, whcih meant one of the best Sunday nights in television history (comedy-wise, anyway).

Real disappointing that it got cancelled, there was just so much talent in that show.

I mean, it earns 1,000 cool points for its use of Orson Wells...

That's one of my favorite shows ever. I watched it everyweek, and kept watching it when it was nothing but reruns on Comedy Central. I miss the hell out of it

thank you guys for understanding. I remember I read somewhere fox aired the critic and they had a special surprise for us with Jay SHerman appearing on the simpsons in the classic film festival and then another episode just in a mental hospital saying "it stinks" 2 times and then the doctor is like " Yes Mr. Sherman, everything stinks"

Critic was an awesome show. I loved the picking at Hollywood feel of it. I remember the Schwarzenegger and Ace Ventura jabs the most. Great comedy and great characters. Duke Philips is the man.

I forgot about that show, I used to watch it all the time. I thought the movie parodies were hil-freakin-larious I wish I could catch a repeat!

I don't think Comedy Central airs it anymore.

I would've picked up the DVD package, but it was insanely overpriced when it first became available.
