The Critic – (page view stats • edit • talk • history)
- An absolutely incredible mid-90's series created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss of The Simpsons. Just like Futurama and Family Guy, this series was tragically cancelled after only a few seasons, and remained largely forgotten about for a long time (despite a cult following). Unlike those series, it was never brought back from the dead. In recent years, it has been reassessed as one of the greatest animated series of all time. IGN ranked The Critic 9th in their Top 25 Primetime Animated Series of All Time list, and 26th in their Top 100 Best Animated TV Series list. Columbia Spectator said the show was "one of television's great lost causes." --Coin945 (talk) 08:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
