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

i forgot about the bit with the bear
oh my god
my face hurts from laughing
that was the best, what with the pipe smoking velociraptors who are deviously smart.
and he basically does the nazi salute
They are somewhere on the internet.
"Do you tyink they'd mind?"
Hahahah!
Also, I found the original audio of the recording of Orson Wells when he was doing that original Frozen Peas commercial.

So awesome.
The saddest part was Jurassic Park 2 was nothing like that and still had Jeff Goldblum.
"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!"
"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."
"Can it be pimento loaf?"
"I don't see why not."
"Yes!"
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.
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.
and Reboot was decent to watch on Cartoon Network as a kid
you heathen.

Apparently my memory stinks.
That part with the Bear Critic was amazing.

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.
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.
Who dares wake me from my thousand year SLUMBER ?!!
Franklin: I've been there too. Usually there's a midget making googly eyes at me. I call him Mr. Picolini.

start talking about orson welles being awesome immediately
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.
it's a terrible town
the sky is brown
and the water is brown
well duh
