Crap TV Flashbacks: The Critic

The only reason I list this under “crap” is because it got canceled too soon, and I actually liked it even though “It Stinks!”. It is literally the only time I think I ever found Jon Luvitz funny in any way.

The show only had 23 episodes for god sakes! Jon Lovitz voiced the lovable, and annoying Jay Sherman, who was basically the brunt of every joke on the show. He was the lovable loser, and the guy that you make fun of because he thinks he knows everything about movies.

He didn’t actually review REAL movies. His murad reviews on his show were spoofs of other movies, but they were hilarious. Such classics as “Howard Stern’s End”, “Honey, I Ate the Kids”, and “The Cockroach King” were a few of the parodies.

The show originally aired on Fox with the other cartoon classics like the Simpsons. Going the way of Family Guy it got canceled in just its second season despite improved ratings. Who exactly was running Fox at this time anyways? They canceled some of the greatest cartoons ever made.

If you want to actually watch some episodes there are quite a few broken into segments on Youtube still :D .
