The Critic aired from January 1994 until July 1995 on ABC and FOX.
Pudgy-balding, sweater-clad movie critic Jay Sherman ( voiced by Jon Lovitz), skewered movies and celebrities in this animated comedy which lampooned popular culture. His own life was a bit of a mess. He was divorced and had no social life and no self-esteem. His wealthy adopted parents, Franklin and Eleanor ( Gerrit Graham, Judith Ivey), paid little attention to him, and his chubby son, Marty( Christine Cavanaugh), liked his ex-wife's new boyfriend. At New York's channel 67, where Jay hosted Coming Attractions, he was constantly being put down by megalomaniacal owner Duke Phillips ( Charles Napier), and makeup lady Doris ( Doris Grau). Only his pal Jeremy ( Maurice LaMarche), an australian actor( and the spitting image of Paul Hogan), offered some understanding. Despite all these slings and arrows, Jay never lost his wit when reviewing the latest rediculous films such as Home Alone 8, Rabbi P.I. ( with Arnold Schwarzenegger), The Red Balloon Part 2, Honey I Ate The Kids, and Crocodile Gandhi. His usual review: " It Stinks."
The Critic had a short run on ABC, then returned the following year on FOX. Added to the cast was southern divorcee Alice ( Park Overall), who finally brought a little love interest into Jay's life. Penny ( Russi Taylor), was Alice's 4 year old daughter.
Among the show's closing credits was this arch statement: " all impersonations were parodical...No celebrities were harmed in the filming of this episode."
