PENGUINS CAN'T FLY!

So, fox has a history of cancelling great shows before their time, but the show that was the best example of this was The Critic.

Starring the lovely Jon lovitz;

preview3di7.jpg

Who played the tubby, loveable, balding Jay Sherman, which was a stretch for jon who is nothing like Jay who looks like this;

critic2000ng4.jpg

Little background info on Jay. Jay was your average Jewish film critic in New York who continued the tradition hollywood set forth with the honeymooners by getting with a hottie despite the fact that he was short, bald, and a fatty. Also, his voice was gratting and he was a selfloving film snob, but we loved him despite all that.

Also, he sings really good.

Here are some awesome clips, please enjoy.

Oh wilson, my wife is happy again! Who? My wife Elenore...

*Gasp* A penguin?! And he's been drinking!

One Fii-fish, Two fi-ish

You win this round sherman

He doesn't act anymore, he's on 'Cruise control'!

Hey, I'm stuck in a box!

Take that, guernica!

We're the bears who sing for duke, doo daa, doo daa

And my personal favorite;

Full of counrty goodness and green peaness

The bear feels terrible for what he did

Mrs. Pell's fishsticks

Such a good show, discuss how awesome it is.

Naysayers stay out.

    that was the best, what with the pipe smoking velociraptors who are deviously smart.

    "Yes."

    "What about the Irish?"

    "They vote too, sir."

    "Better cancel my latest campaign poster."

    I wish I could find a pic of Duke's campaign poster where he's kicking a leprechaun and it says "Irish Suck! Vote for Duke!"

    I love the episode with Ted Turner having that wack-ass disease.

    "You'll die young. But that's a good thing, you'll never have to deal with old age like this man, illnesses and arthritis, until you die in a bathtub by choking on a ham sandwhich."

    Fox actually saved The Critic. ABC canceled it and Fox picked it up for one more year. Thanks to fox, we got another full year of The Critic.

    Hence all the ABC sucks jokes in the 2nd season. If anything, ABC has a greater history of TV show injustices - they prematurely killed off the Critic AND reboot.

    Also, worth noting - the Critic DVD includes the web episodes. While not as long as the tv show, they still include some hilarious bits, like the review of The Patriot (where the british are depicted as Nazi's marching into the town with Swastikas speaking German and saying "HOW ABOUT TEA AND CRUMPETS?!").

    Yeah FOX is actually pretty decent about giving good shows a chance. I loved Arrested Development but FOX was actually doing the show a huge favor by giving a third season as the show's ratings didn't justify it.

    Also, reboot sucked.

    Complete series on amazon for only 30 bucks if you can spare it or have the interest in it.

    It's seriously one of the best animated series of it's time.

    Great writing, hilarious spoofs, the only problem I could see now is that it's very topical and could lose some humor points if you don't have a clue what they're going after.

    But if you're at least 18 you should remember most the movies they make fun of.

    you heathen.

    I question what Firefly's ratings were and it's viability for prime time. FOX or any other network can't stay in business by pleasing a cult following with new episodes. That's what DVD sales are for.

    Maybe I was too old for it but still, fuck reboot.

    Why? That doesn't make any sense. Sorry. There's no known way of saying an English sentence in which you begin a sentence with "in" and emphasize it. Get me a jury and show me how you can say "in July" and I'll... go down on you. That's just idiotic, if you'll forgive me by saying so.
