So earlier today I was bored and flipped through whatever was in my DvD catalog and oh, what is this... the Critic. My, I haven't watched that in a good while. This was about 12 hours ago. I watched damn near every episode and it really occurred to me how clever and witty the humor was. The show never got tiresome on me this entire day. There was no downtime or anything at all. Clever little puns, slightly dated Hollywood japes, and a lovable character were enough to really seal the deal on the Critic, keeping me thoroughly entertained and IMO, making it one of the best animated series ever.

Which is why it was cancelled. We can't have nice things so we got like 12 seasons of King of the Hill instead.

Shall we discuss and share our fond memories for the grossly neglected Jay Prescott Sherman and how television, animated shows in particular, pale in comparison to The Critic?

    this show was pretty good

    it had Maurice LeMarche as one of the main characters

    he also did most of the celebrity impersonations

    Man, I don't know about you guys, but my FOX network always ran the same like 6 episodes of King of the Hill over and over. I am not exaggerating, they were all from the same season and none of them were any of the 'good ones'.

    That said, with a show like the Critic, they were all 'good ones.'

    I mean, lest we forget:

    I would watch the show if it was on again though

    maybe

    I would probably have better things to watch

    it is one of those shows where you always say "yeah I would watch that, but..."

    Hey guys.

    King of the Hill? It doesn't have shit on The Critic. The Critic was way more hilarious and interesting.

    That sounds like the best cosplay ever.

    In so far as any cosplay can be considered not terrible and shameful.
