This show is way better than people give it credit for. In fact, very much like Sports Night, the critics love it, the people hate it.
Cartoons don't last very long, except for the Simpsons - which by the way, The Critic comes from the same Producers - so thus lasted the show. The movie ratings within The Critic are right on target and there are many "in" jokes as well.
The entire series is out on DVD now, and it was worth every penny ($41.99) If you like the Simpsons, you will love THE CRITIC.
Pudgy and balding Jay is not a well-liked man. His unsympathetic boss makes his life miserable, his ex-wife hates him, his adoptive parents barely tolerate him, and even the makeup lady treats him with disgust.
Fortunately for Jay, he has his 11-year-old son Marty and one very unlikely friend, Jeremy Hawke, the Australian film hunk.
Jon Lovitz provides Jay's distinctive voice as a single father who searches for happiness while satirizing life and the movies in this irreverent comedy...
