From Simpsons producer Al Jean comes the hilarious satirical animated sitcom The Critic. Season 1 follows New York film critic Jay Sherman, who hosts a struggling movie review show on cable television, as he deals with an overbearing boss and a dysfunctional family. Starring Jon Lovitz, Nancy Cartwright, and Charles Napier, the cast is pretty solid and features several Simpsons alumni. And the animation style is pretty good too, and uses a gritty (and grimy) aesthetic that suits the New York setting. Mixing slapstick and satire, the comedy is a unique style and features a number of film parodies that make fun of Hollywood culture. Plus, several interesting guest stars, such as Phil Hartman, Geraldo Rivera, Adam West, and Billy Crystal, make appearances. The Critic is a clever and fun show that delivers a great first season that’s full lot of laughs.
