The Critic is an American animated television series that was originally broadcast on the ABC network (and, later on the Fox Network) in 1994 and 1995. The show was created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss , who were two writers and producers on the Simpsons. The series revolves around the life of movie critic Jay Sherman . Each episodes usually featured at least one or two short movie parodies (based on current releases at the time or movies that were at least two or three years old) in the form of the movie Jay reviewed that week on his show "Coming Attractions". Some of the parodies were "Howard Stern's End" ( Howard's End), "Honey, I Ate the Children" ( The Silence of the Lambs), "The Cockroach King" ( The Lion King), and "Scent of a Jackass" ( Scent of a Woman).

The show was popular and received decent ratings, but it was controversial. An episode with S&M content, in which Jay was tied up and to be killed by an obsessive, psychotic woman (a spoof of the novel Misery by Stephen King, and the popular movie based upon the book), was especially notorious. After two years, it was cancelled for these reasons. Following its cancellation, a half-dozen brief " internet only" episodes were produced. Those were later included as a bonus to a DVDDVD is an optical disc storage media format that is used for playback of movies with high video and sound quality and for storing data.
