But when The Critic was funny, man, was it funny.

Often mistaken for a direct spinoff of The Simpsons... The Critic took two of that show's most successful writer-producers, Al Jean and Mike Reiss, its beloved guest actor Jon Lovitz, and its pop-savvy satire, yet spun something entirely new out of them.

Besides its cloying self-importance, The Critic has two other big problems: too many inside jokes - funny only to critics and those unlucky enough to know them well - and a lack of direction: Where is this show going, and why is it going there?
