| We changed the channel after the critic leered at someone's cleavage.
The writing was abysmal, I don't care for the animation (there seemed
to be enough frames per second; I just don't like the drawing), and
I've felt for a long time that Jon Lovitz is a one-trick pony (the
Thespian, which killed me originally, but he never plays anything
else!).

The writing was funny , provided that you got the jokes .
The Critic spoofed TV shows , movies , stereotypes and had
some wry observations . The style of drawing wasn't the best
but it wasn't bad . The critic leered at someones cleavage and we
changed the channel .... Must do alot of channel changing nowadays .
Just because a show is animated doesn't always mean that it's
intended for children . I liked the show . especially the spoof
of Seinfeld . Cool show . Jon Lovitz role in the Critic was nothing
like the Thespian ... One trick pony ??? Nahh...Stick to green
acre's or Hee-Haw if thats your thing .

| 222.4 | show for humor more than animation value | APLVEW::DEBRIAE | | Wed Feb 02 1994 06:54 | 6 |

Hmmm, I missed this cleavage scene that got some upset. Either it
happened in the first half I missed or I was channel surfing too.
I'll wait to tomorrow's show to see if my first impressions stay...

| Erik,
I'd like to hear your impression of the 2d show. I watched the first,
and thought it was fair, a few good in-jokes/parodies.
The second episode was marginal at best. If this show is trying to
be a "character" show, they need to have better writers. Unlike
"The Simpsons" which operates on so many levels, this show is flat.
I don't think I'll be tuning in again, just for the occasional
movie reference (The Simpsons does it better anyway, without
being so obvious). And yes, this is from the same producers
as The Simpsons, but obviously not the same writers.

Ditto for everything you said Richard.
The second show was marginal, flat, and in need of better writing.
I thought the NPR critic said two of the writers were stolen from
the Simpsons. If that's true, they certainly weren't the better
ones...

After the first pilot the series has run flat , I'll watch once more
sometimes shows need a chance to grow .
