About The Critic
The Critic follows New York film critic Jay Sherman, voiced by Jon Lovitz, through two short TV seasons created by Simpsons writers Al Jean and Mike Reiss. ABC aired 13 episodes in 1994 and Fox aired 10 more in 1995, with 10 web shorts following in 2000 and 2001.
Good to know
Jean closed his own deal for a revival in talks reported by Polygon in June 2026, but Lovitz had not signed and no network was set, so this guide covers the released run only.
