Season One..Yeah! Season Two...Nay!


Don't get me wrong. I love, love, love The Critic and bought the dvd set the first week it was out, but they killed this show with season two when Jay got a steady girlfriend (Alice). One of the draws of the show originally was watching loser-Jay trying to get a female interested in him. This was lost in the second season and Jay actually comes off as a bit pompous since he has a girl and an attractive one at that. When I watch an episode or two, it's almost always from the first season.

One of the complaints from viewers is that Jay wasn't very likeable, so they added in the girlfriend to make him a more relatable character.

I agree that it didn't have the same feel to it though when he was with Alice and essentially looking after 2 kids.
