[edit] Shorts

There were a series of(5, maybe 6?) shorts of "The Critic" that were made in Flash after the critic had been cancelled. Anyone know where one can find these? They also aren't listed in the shows history.

I recall seeing them on atomfilms or someplace like that, but this was years ago. No idea where one could find them now...Mackensen (talk) 19:48, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone know why it was canceled. it would be nice to see that in the article

[edit] Someone Check Up On This?

(née Wigglesworth)---was this a reference to a gag that appeared in a episode?

No, this was her maiden name, revealed in the episode "A Little Deb Will Do You" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.84.254.178 (talk) 18:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Day at the Races and a Night at the Opera

I changed the links in the title header. It seems more likely that the episode title is a reference to the two Marx Brothers films, rather than to the Queen albums (which were named after the films), since this is a show about movies. (Ibaranoff24 05:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC))

Generalizing characters because of episodic happenings is not good encylopedic writing. Duke Philips often likes to make up words for Scrabble when he only does this in one episode.

He did make up the word in the one episode, but that episode also made reference to him doing it in the past

[edit] "Season 3 (The Webisodes)"

Available at [1]. There are 9 mini-episodes.

Thanks for the link, Ive been looking for at least a clue to find them for the longest time already, now that you gave me these 8 episodes out of ten, I managed to find the remaining 2. This link gives the complete 10 webisodes and are available to download. But without your help I couldn't of find the remaining two. I made a extensive Google search and found them. --Gakhandal 20:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm surprised none of the webisodes have been picked up by YouTube.

Your link doesn't work. The website must of been taken down.

Grab them right [2] here, but know that Mediafire links aren't valid forever. --Raijin Z 00:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheCritic2.jpg

Image:TheCritic2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Sheridan

This is probably elitist, but I'm not keen on this being the primary page for "The Critic" compared to the Sheridan play The Critic. What do people think about downgrading this to The Critic (animation) and having The Critic as a disambiguation page for the play and the animation? Gordonofcartoon 01:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I'd agree if the page for the play wasn't a stub. -- Atama^chat 19:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The Critic in culture and in English Literature is the play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. If we can't change the title of that away from being The Critic (play), we can at least pay the original the respect of not giving a short lived cartoon sitcom the sole rights to the title alone. This page should be renamed The Critic (tv show) or nearest equivalent. Just my two cents, or rather two British Pennies worth.Silas Maxfield (talk) 08:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jon Lovitz on the DVDs

I was listening to a Simpsons DVD commentary, in which Jon Lovitz was a guest commentator. Matt Groening made a joke about how Jon Lovitz is there doing the Simpsons commentary, but is nowhere to be found for any type of "The Critic" Commentary. They had a laugh and then Jon Lovitz laughingly exclaims "They never asked me!". Maybe someone should add this to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.8.249.246 (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
