@@TheReviewStudios Arguably yes. But at the same time, one could argue that movies have progressively gotten worse since Jaws first introduced the blockbuster.
It was a great show. Alice is still remembered as one of the best depictions of a woman in modern animation. She didn't fall into any of the stereotypes and also wasn't overly perfect either.
The Critic was sooo ahead of its time. Incredible show. Also, seeing Bump in the Night again just hit me with a nostalgia overdose. Love your videos, man take care.
i think it was in the perfect time actually, it feels so much like classic Simpsons i've never understood how the Simpson fans of the time didn't watch it more regularly.
Online speculations suggest that some pop culture references within the show might be creating challenges for Disney to secure streaming rights. Although we aren’t necessarily convinced about this theory’s validity, in the absence of an official explanation from Disney, it cannot be entirely dismissed. Another plausible explanation might be that Disney has not yet found the time to adapt the show for Disney+. Given that the series is more than 25 years old, significant advancements in technology since its production mean that certain modifications are necessary for its migration to Disney+.
@@Bennome fair points but Little Mermaid the Series is on Disney+, plus older (not AS mainstream) cartoons like Rescue Rangers, Talespin, Gummi Bears are there as well. So it’s a mystery just WHY it isn’t there…
The Critic actually got a web series after its TV series were canceled. It was shorter and many of the old characters didn't return. The main thing I remember about it is that it started with a joke about how it had to be a web series because it had already been canceled on all the networks.
Maaaaan the wave of nostalgia that hits when the commercial break “after these messages we’ll be right back” is intense! Bump in the night the most underrated kids cartoon ever! Loved that damn show Still watch the Christmas special every Christmas
"Reporting from Baghdad: Jay Sherman." "I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" "Jay, we're on the air." "Hello, movie fans! As I sit here on the cusp of history, I think to myself: I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Wild C.A.T.s was fine, but if you were introduced to the comic first, it was definitely jarring. I liked the show well enough, and the theme song lives rent-free in my head.
The Critic is one of my all time favorite shows. Still saddens me how it was only 2 seasons and a short web series. Only other one I remember was Bump in the Night, didn’t really care for it
I loved The Crtic as a kid. In fact when I worked in San Diego, I purchased it the entire series on DVD during the 2000s. Such an underrated show. I'm not trying to kiss up, but I'm really enjoying this RUclips series.
Your videos (especially the cartoon ones) always seem to unlock forgotten memories haha I totally forgot about Mr. Bumpy! If someone had just described it to me, I would have said I didn’t remember and maybe didn’t see it, but hearing that theme reminded me instantly!
Why does everyone keep saying that? If anything, it was where all the jokes The Simpsons couldn't tell went. At least the FOX episodes were like that. The ABC ones felt like a real show with jokes sprinkled in it.
There were SO many funny things about The Critic from the subtleties to the tongue in cheek humor! The Easter Island kid from The United Nations School with the giant rock head! The funny "Hdrrrr!" sound Jay or other characters made when they were amorous! The funny references to his ex wife Ardith with flames and fire! I could go on! Haha!
Maurice LaMarche (the legendary voice actor) had the biggest smile and went into a quick string of voices (including his famous Orson Welles) when I showed him my the Critic DVDs. Made me love the show even more
The Critic isn't on Crackle anymore. It's on Tubi, but the episode where Jay goes to Los Angeles to pitch his screenplay, only to end up writing the third movie to The Ghostchasers franchise isn't on there. My suggestion: buy the DVD.
I’d forgotten about it until recently, remember it from when I was a kid. Randomly came across some clips of it and forgot how funny it is, definitely appreciate it more as an adult. Jason Alexander is great
@andrew_s848 Ya its better now as an adult, you do appreciate it more forsure. T.v and cartoons just arent the same anymore, theyre not even on the same level as the 90s and early 2000s were.
Jason Alexander classic, I used to watch it on the USA network. Ch. 39, nickelodeon ch. 38, and cartoon Network was 37. Crazy how that stuff comes back to you after all these years.
Wildcats was cancelled because of its bad critic score, & the toys not selling well. This caused DC comics to strip Nelvana of the license. So what did the critics say that made the show fail? Choppy Animation, Lousy Voice Acting, & Boring Writing!!!😮 They also claimed the Intro Theme was annoying as Heck. While Comic purists hated it, due to it striving too far from the comics. I saw the 1st 9 episodes myself, & I thought it was good.
@@jamesmoss3424 I just finished watching the whole show. It became apparent by the end, what the critics were talking about! I found the animation to have altered to an extent, & be very choppy. The Writing wasn't boring, but the acting was so over the top = it became laughably bad! It contradicted earlier episodes, with plotholes (Mainly with the Daemonites themselves, but this was somewhat minor). The show gets darker as it progresses, only to backtrack rather quickly!! It threw a quick jab at Capitalism, which could be funny.... but clearly marketing executives & businesses in general found that rude. This next part is a spoiler, so stop reading right here![The ending was a bit anticlimactic, for the villain was defeated by a means that didn't make that much sense!!].
I remember 1 day i was home sick and watched the pilot to a new cartoon show, it was like Rainbow Brite but the girl was homeless or a troublemaker or something and she got transported to a new dimension and eventually decided to be the good girl. I have no idea what it was called but for some reason i always remember that odd show. I believe it premiered in February of 1993 but could have been 1994, i never saw it again
Aladdin not being on Disney plus is the weirdest thing. It is one of the few times that Disney did a complete full end to end story of a character. Usually you have the prince and the princess meeting and happily ever after. But with Aladdin you had the meeting not getting married but also with the television show working on that relationship then building it up to the final two and third movies that led to their full complete story.
I'd call the Simpsons more of a failure than the Critic. They cling to life like a vampire, sucking the life out of anyone that gets too close. The Critic made me laugh, and I still look back on the show and smile. If success means being on the air for 30+ terrible seasons, I'd take failure.
@@TheReviewStudiosI Hope Hasbro Finally Understands Littlest Pet Shop 1995 Animated Series I Also Hope Super7 Makes ReAction Figures Ultimates & More Inspired By Littlest Pet Shop 1995 Sunbow Animated Series
The Critic was a failure is something I never considered. Legit thought it lasted longer than 2 seasons, especially since it crossover with The Simpsons. But after checking myself, no, you're right it was a failure.
Well, The Critic, I have the full series on DVD. Dad had a few episodes on tape so once again, how I knew about it. Looks like for the rest that I'm not familiar with, Bump in the Night, found it on another website. Looks like Littlest Pet Shop full series is on RUclips. As for Wildcats, not to be confused with the Goldie Hawn football movie, and Snookums and Meat, could only find a few episodes on RUclips. Anyways, did enjoy this. Thank you.
Christ, Bump in the night was amazing, used to watch that every Saturday morning in my bed on CBBC (Children's British Broadcasting Channel) And I also used to catch Littlest Pet Shop on Cannel Four.
I kind of remember WildCATS though I don't remember actively trying to watch it. If it was on after Ninja turtles, like you said, that makes sense since I watched a ton of Ninja Turtles back then. I must have stuck around sometimes and continued watching when it came on.
I love the critic I even got the complete series dvd set and to this day I still think of john Lovitz as jay Sherman the show is actually good outside of just him hosting coming attractions the reference are really good like the reference to the ballroom scene in beauty and the beast where the song of the same name is sung with their version being titled beauty and king dork and the shows over bits at the end of the show are really good also it’s good Tubi is the new streaming home for the series after it left crackle just like Tubi has bump in the night that I just started a rewatch of cause I watched it as a child on abc
WildC.A.T.S had a rival show called Ultra Force (basically another X-Men ripoff). Both only lasted one season, but what happened afterwards was that both Marvel and DC bought out their publishers (Wild Storm and Malibu) and absorbed the series. Thankfully, they both still exist (WildC.A.Ts belong to DC and show up every now and then, but Ultra Force is pretty much dead...thanks Marvel).
yeah and Malibu getting eaten by Marvel during production of the show is part of why the show ended. Once Marvel's own bankruptcy hit and they came out of it as a division of ToyBiz, Avi Arad said Ultraforce is a Marvel property. I won't have Marvel properties at a rival toy company. So without an Ultraverse toy line, there was no need for a show. Being on in syndication where fewer people would see it meant nobody would notice it was gone.
LOVED LOVED LOVED BUMP IN THE NIGHT!!!! Here in Argentina was decently popular, being aired on a national 24 hours all-cartoon cable channel. I remember after the first season (or at least the first batch of episodes), when it seemed there wasn't anymore they started airing an old episode along with a new one, on some kind of second season. Sometimes the new episodes were follow ups to the old ones.
My dad would wake up at 6 am just to record Bump in the night and sonic satam for me and my siblings, I love Mr. Bumpy so much I've started to collect the fast food toys, dvd sets, and other memorabilia.🥰
I remember most of these. As a matter of fact I recently started rewatching the Critic on tubi and still love it. Also, it's always nice to see Bump in the Night get some well deserved attention.
You can still find WildCATS comics from DC, which owns Wildstorm and brought them into the main universe in 2011. Though they're more likely to guest star these days. Zealot right now is on the Birds of Prey, another 90s staple.
Oh man you made my day =3 Wild C.A.T.S - I used to watch this show I liked it tho not a lot. It was fun and had heroes, Most the members are Justice Leagers now, it is funny. The Shnookums & Meat Funny Cartoon Show - I remember the super hero part a tiny bit, I will say I maybe saw a few eps, I just do not remember this show at all, tho I know I saw an ep or three. Littlest Pet Shop - I never saw this, I know of it just never caught my eye The Critic - This, I love this show, it so could come back and he could be a online critic and maybe change some other things, it would be a great show to see return. Simspons are tired and old and not funny anymore. This show I wish they bring back and the movies he review where bad, they could make up a few movies now and then add a real movie or two it be a great show really they missing out not brining him back. Bump In The Night - I be honest, this is the first time I heard of this show LOL Well my rant over I will like this video mostly for the Critic and second place Wild Cats, hopefully you do not mind my rants LOL
The Critic is amazing. And while Jay has an arrogant attitude he is constantly knocked down a peg or three. Similar to why people liked Michael Scott on the office. It works in my book.
I only remember the critic and that he appear on the Simpson. N it crazy how your abc break follows along with RUclips breaks very kool. How u do that idk lol.
Shnookums literally looks like Ren and Stimpy if you have bad vision, or a little kid who doesn't know better, or I guess that's what producers hoped for.
I do remember watching Bump in the night tried turning on an episode a few years back and didn't really age well as far as trying to watch it as an adult
I remember Wild CATs, but I was very into the Marvel VS Image drama at the time. I very rarely watched it, though, because it ran in the same time slot as X-men 😝
I’ve watched that critic show back when it aired, and watched the wildcats cartoon in reruns on the USA network like you mentioned in this video, and I didn’t watch the other ones though💁🏻♂💯.
The Critic was a hilarious, excellent series that unfortunately had a hard time finding an audience. I search for clips and scenes from it on RUclips. Duke Phillips is one of my favorite characters of all time.
Who else has that feeling somewhere between their chest and tummy while watching these? I can NOT believe I am fixing to be 42!!!! It feels like JUST yesterday! I really feel so very bad for modern children!
You can't say The Critic as a failure if it survived being cancelled by one network and revived on another. It didn't get a third season more because Fox was not quite ready for a whole night of adult animation. Whereas, WildC.A.T.s died mostly because CBS was trying to trim their Saturday mornings until it was nothing. (All CBS died cartoons were dead by Fall of 1997.)
@@TheReviewStudios At conventions I've the pleasure of talking to people involved with The Critic. All of them agree that had a. home media releases of full seasons been a thing at the time. b. Fox took Sunday's in a weird direction of mixing two animated comedies (Simpsons and King of the Hill) with The X-Files, The Critic PROBABLY would have gotten another season. C. If they knew how well the show would do in its third life as comedy central reruns, they might have had a shot at season three. Though The Simpsons, KOTH, X-Files Sundays sorta made sense. The Simpsons and X-Files were the network's two biggest hits. But it left them with the problem of 'what do we do with the other six days of the week.' Which is why something like 65% of the regular series Fox launched between 1995-2002 were one season wonders and of those some of them didn't even air their full initial 13 order.

I did see the website version It only had Jay Sherman and his new female assistant Meh 😒
wasn't it one of the first web series

Part of the problem is Doris died. And eventually the voice of Duke died, so the odds of coming back are very low.

You can still find WildCATS comics from DC, which owns Wildstorm and brought them into the main universe in 2011. Though they're more likely to guest star these days. Zealot right now is on the Birds of Prey, another 90s staple.
"Im in... im in the porcelain" a song from bump in the night has been stuck in my head for three decades
It's Crazy what stays with us over the years.
Oh man you made my day =3
Wild C.A.T.S - I used to watch this show I liked it tho not a lot. It was fun and had heroes, Most the members are Justice Leagers now, it is funny.
The Shnookums & Meat Funny Cartoon Show - I remember the super hero part a tiny bit, I will say I maybe saw a few eps, I just do not remember this show at all, tho I know I saw an ep or three.
Littlest Pet Shop - I never saw this, I know of it just never caught my eye
The Critic - This, I love this show, it so could come back and he could be a online critic and maybe change some other things, it would be a great show to see return. Simspons are tired and old and not funny anymore. This show I wish they bring back and the movies he review where bad, they could make up a few movies now and then add a real movie or two it be a great show really they missing out not brining him back.
Bump In The Night - I be honest, this is the first time I heard of this show LOL
Well my rant over I will like this video mostly for the Critic and second place Wild Cats, hopefully you do not mind my rants LOL
I can't wait him talking about cartoons in my birth year
What year?
@@TheReviewStudios the same year Scooby Doo zombie movie (the good one) come out
The Critic was awesome. When I saw Jay Sherman on Simpsons I though it was Allan Sherman as a kid
Wildcats, bump in the night and the critic kept me entertained as a child. I even had a maul action figure.
Damn those ABC cartoon bumpers bring me back!
The Critic is amazing. And while Jay has an arrogant attitude he is constantly knocked down a peg or three. Similar to why people liked Michael Scott on the office. It works in my book.
I only remember the critic and that he appear on the Simpson.
N it crazy how your abc break follows along with RUclips breaks very kool. How u do that idk lol.
Shnookums literally looks like Ren and Stimpy if you have bad vision, or a little kid who doesn't know better, or I guess that's what producers hoped for.
That WildC.A.T.S. theme song unlocked *memoriessssssss*
Nice
The Critic was such a great show. "If I could be any vegetable, I'd be a carrot."
I do remember watching Bump in the night tried turning on an episode a few years back and didn't really age well as far as trying to watch it as an adult
I remember Wild CATs, but I was very into the Marvel VS Image drama at the time. I very rarely watched it, though, because it ran in the same time slot as X-men 😝
I’ve watched that critic show back when it aired, and watched the wildcats cartoon in reruns on the USA network like you mentioned in this video, and I didn’t watch the other ones though💁🏻♂💯.
I always loved the critic it was a hilarious show i think my mom caught on with that show too as she loved watching it as well
It was
Had the Wildcats comics but didn't know it was a show.
Funny thing is, in Argentina, most of these cartoons were remembered. They were not as rare as US thinks :D
cool, thank you for sharing
The Critic was a hilarious, excellent series that unfortunately had a hard time finding an audience. I search for clips and scenes from it on RUclips. Duke Phillips is one of my favorite characters of all time.
Thanks for sharing
Who else has that feeling somewhere between their chest and tummy while watching these? I can NOT believe I am fixing to be 42!!!! It feels like JUST yesterday! I really feel so very bad for modern children!
We love to hear this! Thank you so much for your views and comments!
‘ Bump In The Night ‘is a classic especially the Christmas episode
Loved Wild Cats 😂
You can't say The Critic as a failure if it survived being cancelled by one network and revived on another. It didn't get a third season more because Fox was not quite ready for a whole night of adult animation. Whereas, WildC.A.T.s died mostly because CBS was trying to trim their Saturday mornings until it was nothing. (All CBS died cartoons were dead by Fall of 1997.)
Yeah that one falls more into the "Short Lived" category
@@TheReviewStudios At conventions I've the pleasure of talking to people involved with The Critic. All of them agree that had a. home media releases of full seasons been a thing at the time. b. Fox took Sunday's in a weird direction of mixing two animated comedies (Simpsons and King of the Hill) with The X-Files, The Critic PROBABLY would have gotten another season. C. If they knew how well the show would do in its third life as comedy central reruns, they might have had a shot at season three. Though The Simpsons, KOTH, X-Files Sundays sorta made sense. The Simpsons and X-Files were the network's two biggest hits. But it left them with the problem of 'what do we do with the other six days of the week.' Which is why something like 65% of the regular series Fox launched between 1995-2002 were one season wonders and of those some of them didn't even air their full initial 13 order.
I Fing love bump in the night, and people still make me think the entire show might have just been a fever dream
