On The Critic's ABC season finale, Jay becomes the unwitting subject of a hit children's book series penned by his mother. And if that wasn't enough, he also has to cope with a rapidly-growing stray dog named Tiny who never made it to the second season. Listen now and be transported to the magical year of 1994, when Home Improvement was hotter than A Game of Thrones!

"Hoo / My wife, Eleanor" is almost up there with "DENTAL PLAN / Lisa needs braces" in terms of madness

"I didn't come here with pants, I'm not leaving with pants!" is my line of the series.

Just a quick, friendly correction: Love Canal is actually located in Niagara Falls, NY, which is in the far western part of NY state. I actually live about 15 minutes away from what used to be Love Canal; its weird to drive around and see all the abandoned streets and lots that used to be neighborhoods. The city of Niagara Falls, NY in general is a sad, concrete desert.

As a Buffalo resident, I can confirm this. Niagara Falls is an absolute wasteland of abandoned buildings, and the ones that are still there are very sad indeed. Especially when compared to the Canadian side of the Falls, which despite being basically a giant tourist trap at least has people living and working there and non-Casino businesses operating there.

My wife has actually been working recently with Niagara Falls mayor Paul Dyster to try to clean up a lot of the abandoned and foreclosed properties. The non-profit she works for has been doing some fine work in Buffalo and the surrounding area.

If only he could find a pig girl.

Hearing you guys speak about the Critic got me thinking. The Critic failed for a number of reasons (little network support from ABC and Fox being one of them) but another reason imo is Jay as a character. His character is so unlikable in some episodes that we very rarely get anytime to feel sympathy for him. Even when we do get some really nice episodes for Jay (Every Doris has her day) there's never any attempt by the writers to show him changing.

One of the reasons I prefer Season 2 to season 1 is Alice and how she brings out a change in Jay. We see him grow as a character and he actually tries to help more people. Wonder if this development would have continued if the show had been given a third season. Speaking of which will you guys be doing an episode on what a season three for the Critic would have had? Might be an idea.

Jay was definitely made more likable in season two but it was due to a new network president's whim that that show got taken off the air. It was actually a success on the Fox network. Here's what Mike Reiss said about what happened: "We were the show that followed The Simpsons, we got the best ratings of any show that ever followed them, we were doing really well and then he called and said, “Well that’s it, I’m pulling all advertising from The Critic.” And it’s like, “Why? We finally had a success.” This man really had spite or something for The Critic. I used to be very bitter about that, but of course, we got a second chance. Most shows just get canceled, never get a second chance. We got canceled on ABC, we got a second chance, and then it was sort of jerked away from us because of this jerk. He just didn’t like the show, refused to put advertising on the air for the show and that was it. And it’s not supposed to be about personal taste."

Diana was da real mvp in this episode.

I've been wondering this for over twenty years...what the hell does "I just flew in from San Fransicso, and bot are my Judy Garland records tired." mean?! The first few times I watched it, I couldn't even parse what he said. Once I figured out it was "Judy Garland records" I just got confused. Then as I got a bit more worldy, I realized it was obviously a gay joke in some fashion, the stereotypes of lots of gays in San Francisco and that they love Judy Garland. But I guess I don't understand how that fits into the "flew in from [blank] and boy are my arms tired" joke? Like...how would his records be tired from flying? Obviously, I'm just reading too much into it, but surely the writers could have used a better format to make a gay joke about SF and Judy Garland then the one they used, cause it makes no sense.

I think the joke was that it *didn't* make sense. I'm pretty sure it was just the writers parodying the coke-fueled, reference-heavy, off-the-top-of-his-head Robin Williams rapid-fire joke style. He's making pretty cheap, hack jokes, but his manic performance means you don't think twice about them.
