The Critic creators tease a reboot: ‘It’s never been closer to actually happening’

Twenty-three episodes. That’s all we got of the 1990s animated series The Critic, which followed gluttonous, self-important film critic Jay Sherman on his Siskel and Ebert-like movie review show. The series starred Jon Lovitz as Sherman and was created by The Simpsons writers and showrunners Al Jean and Mike Reiss. It lasted for one season on ABC before it was canceled, then did a season on Fox before it was canceled again.

    It’s exciting to hear that a reboot of The Critic might be on the horizon! The original series had such a unique charm and humor. It will be interesting to see how they approach it in today’s landscape.
