The critic

A cartoon during the mid 90's that was, go figure, cancelled by FOX. More great cancelled shows include Futurama, Life with Louie, The PJs.

The Critic was about the life of Jay Sherman(voiced by Jon Lovitz) who lived in New York City. He was a fat, bald movie critic who never gives a positive review. He has basically no friends and everyone hates him. Each episode had a parody of a movie Jay was reviewing that were usually 2 or 3 years old. It was probably FOX's biggest mistake cancelling it. Now they broadcast dogshit like American Idol and reruns of Becker. It only had 2 seasons.

The Critic was one of those cartoons everybody could enjoy, much like the Simpsons(it even had some of the same producers). It was funny but no too over the top. Why this show was cancelled is beyond me.

The Critic

One of the greatest animated sitcoms ever, that sadly only lived to see two seasons. Created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss, two of the head writers of The Simpsons, the series starred Jon Lovitz as Jay Sherman, a fat film critic with very high standards that causes him to give bad reviews to practically every movie he reviews. The series was also known for it's jokes about pop culture, politics, and practically everything else about life back in the mid-90s

The first season aired on ABC in 1994, was cancelled after the end of the season, but picked up by FOX for season 2 in 1995, which saw a rise in viewership, but ultimately ended in cancellation as well (plans for a third season on UPN fell through, though a series of internet shorts were made in 2000).

The Critic was-and still is-a fantastic series-I hope whoever decided to cancel it got fired.

Critical Theory of the Masses

The application of Critical Theory to "the masses"—examining how this category is constructed, how it's used, and how it relates to power. Critical Theory of the Masses asks: Who are "the masses"? Who gets to define them? How have elites used fears of "the mob" to justify control? How have mass movements challenged power? Drawing on thinkers like Ortega y Gasset, Canetti, and critical social theory, it insists that "the masses" is never a neutral description—it's a political category, used to dismiss or to celebrate, to control or to liberate. Understanding the masses requires understanding who's speaking, and about whom.

"The masses are ignorant, they say. Critical Theory of the Masses asks: ignorant according to whom? The same masses that elite dismiss also rise up, organize, demand change. 'The masses' is a label the powerful use to dismiss those below. Critical theory insists on asking: who benefits from calling people 'the masses'? And what happens when the masses start speaking for themselves?"

Critical Theory of the Crowds

The application of Critical Theory to crowds—examining how crowd behavior is understood, how crowds are managed, and how they relate to power. Critical Theory of the Crowds asks: How are crowds portrayed—as dangerous mobs or as democratic assemblies? Who decides? How do authorities manage crowds through policing, architecture, and media? What power do crowds have when they gather? Drawing on thinkers like Le Bon, Canetti, and contemporary protest studies, it insists that crowds are never just crowds—they're political phenomena, sites of possibility and fear. Understanding crowds requires understanding who's watching, who's controlling, and who's participating.

"Crowds turn into mobs, they say. Critical Theory of the Crowds asks: says who? The same crowd that's a 'mob' to authorities is a 'movement' to participants. Crowds have power—the power to disrupt, to demand, to be seen. Critical theory insists on asking: who's afraid of crowds, and why? And what happens when crowds refuse to disperse?"

Critical Theory of the Scientific Method

A critical theoretical approach that examines the scientific method through the lens of power, ideology, and domination—asking how the method may serve dominant interests, exclude marginalized perspectives, and reproduce social hierarchies. The critical theory of the scientific method investigates questions like: Whose interests does the method serve? What assumptions about reality, knowledge, and value are embedded in methodological standards? How does the method exclude or delegitimize alternative ways of knowing? How do power relations within science shape what counts as "good method"? How might the method be reformed to be more democratic, inclusive, and just? This approach doesn't reject the scientific method but subjects it to critique—revealing that the method is never neutral, always embedded in social contexts, and always capable of serving domination as well as liberation. Critical theory seeks not to abandon method but to transform it.

Critical Theory of the Scientific Method Example: "His critical theory of the scientific method examined how 'objectivity' standards have been used to exclude women's ways of knowing from scientific legitimacy—not because those ways are invalid, but because they don't fit methodological orthodoxies shaped by male-dominated institutions. Critique reveals what the method hides."
