Bruiser Chong Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 As most of you know, the short-lived animated series, The Critic was announced as getting the DVD treatment in the near future, and along with a release date, cover art and details on the set have been issued. Click here for the cover art. Today is finally the day that Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment announces The Critic - The Complete Series. Jon Lovitz is the animated Jay Sherman, a TV movie critic who is forced to review the most pathetic films, which he always rates as "It stinks." In addition to the film parodies, the show also deals with his personal life: working for a tyrannical media mogul boss, his lovelife and his family. This 3-Disc release comes with all 23 episodes, and extensive extras: -Clip Compilations -8 Commentaries, featuring Executive Producer Al Jean, Executive Producer Mike Reiss, Co-Producer David Cutler, Director Rich Moore, and Voice Actor Maurice "Jeremy Hawke" LaMarche. In addition, some commentaries include Executive Producer James L. Brooks, Writer Steven Levitan, Voice Actor Nick "Vlada Villamiravitch" Jameson, and Voice Actor Charles "Duke Phillips" Napier. -New Featurette: "Creating The Critic". Features interviews with James L. Brooks, Al Jean, Mike Reiss, and other co-creators. -"White Rabbits": Pop-ups during episode 113 which allow you to watch 3 of the scenes in a split-screen fashion. Split-screens show comparisons of storyboards, rough animations, and the as-aired final animated version of the scene. Set for release on January 27th, this will have a running time of 520 minutes. Fullscreen video will be accompanied by English 2.0 sound. No subtitles are provided, but it will be closed captioned for the hearing impaired. The list price is $49.95. So mark you calendar, geeks, 1/27/03 will surely be a glorious day, as one of the most-requested animated series is finally delivered in DVD format.
BorneAgain Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I'm nearly drooling, reading those extras. A shame Lovitz isn't on there but still this DVD is gonna fuckin rule.
MrRant Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Eh... I may pick it up. I have a season pass set for when it comes on Comedy Central so I've seen the 23 episodes about 100 times each.

Matt Young Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 *marks out* FINALLY!!! The Critic is my 3rd favorite animated series of all-time after Clerks and Family Guy, and although I have every episode taped off of Comedy Central, this set is a must-buy for me.

Ravenbomb Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 They still need to put Welcome Back Kotter and ReBoot on DVD
MrRant Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 They still need to put Welcome Back Kotter and ReBoot on DVD There ARE ReBoot DVDs.
Ravenbomb Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 yes, but they're shitty. I want GOOD ReBoot DVD's. Season sets, like everything else is getting
Brocklock Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 Holy Shit, that set looks fantastic. I'm praying for my Fresh Prince Of Bel Air DVD.
Guest Olympic Slam Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 They still need to put Welcome Back Kotter and ReBoot on DVD Hellz yeah! Welcome Back Kotter is one of my fave shows ever. People need to experience Travolta as Barbarino. This reminds me, does anyone know if Soap is on DVD? That show rocked my face when it used to be on Nick at Nite way back when.
JasonX Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 They still need to put Welcome Back Kotter and ReBoot on DVD The last two seasons of Reboot (seasons 3 and 4) are already on DVD.
notJames Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 How could they not have Jon Lovitz on commentary?!? I may have to reconsider buying this thing...
Mecha Mummy Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 The problem with Daria on DVD is that they wouldn't use the music and would just go with lame stock music, which annoys me because they had a good idea for what songs were appropriate for which scene, plus the ending credits. Can't wait for the Critic DVD, though, even if I've seen most of the eps. Oh, and... *Kicks Rant in the junk as well just for good measure.*
Star Ocean 3 Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 MTV said they won't have Daria on DVD because the ones that are already out haven't sold well. And The Tick live action is on DVD...
cbacon Posted November 24, 2003 Report Posted November 24, 2003 Excellent. Now all I need is a Duckman and Ren & Stimpy DVD set
