The Critic

Season 2

After getting cancelled by ABC The Critic moved to Fox for a second season of hilarious shenanigans. When film critic Jay Sherman hires a new assistant he starts to develop romantic feeling for her and the two begin to date; meanwhile Jay’s eccentric boss embarks on a series of wild ventures, from starting a celebrity preschool to running for president. With the move to Fox comes a revamping of the show to make it more family friendly; Jay gets a steady girlfriend and becomes more involved in his son’s life, and the character designs are softened. However, the comedy is just as clever and satirical, and now includes the occasional Fox joke. The movie parodies are also fun, and Siskel and Ebert guest star in their own episode. Yet despite a solid second season that delivers plenty of laughs, The Critic was cancelled once again.
