The Critic Closer Than Ever to Revival After King of the Hill Success

Created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss, both writers for The Simpsons, The Critic ran for two seasons on ABC and Fox between 1994 and 1995. The show starred Jon Lovitz as Jay Sherman, a film critic, and quickly developed a dedicated fan base despite being cancelled after only two seasons. Al Jean recently mentioned on the Four Finger Discount podcast—a show about The Simpsons—that there are current discussions about bringing The Critic back to television.
