Trivia:
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert famously turned down offers to guest star on TV shows and in movies because they felt it would have been a conflict of interest. But this turned out to be the exception and this is the only show in which they guest starred together. The episode was called "Siskel and Ebert and Jay and Alice" and the story is a parody of Sleepless in Seattle (1993) in which Jay and Alice attempt to patch things up between the duo when one of their verbal feuds causes them to split up. moreQuotes:

I guess in the day of "Thinking Man's" humor has long gone.
"Children of a Lesser Godzilla" nuff said.
This was a sharply written, well acted (Voice of course) show. Levitz is as funny as any cartoon voice over there is.
Any time I can find the Critc, I'll watch, without even (GASP) changing the channel during commercials.
A shame that Will and Grace is still on, and the Critic is relagated to the cable crawl space.
