Tasked with putting together the jury, she reaches out to Jay Sherman (Jon Lovitz), a New York based film critic, to be a special guest on it. At the time I saw this episode, I hadn&#8217;t even realized I was watching a crossover. Although considering the network&#8217;s disastrous handling of the show Jay came from, it&#8217;s easy to see why.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lovitz&#8217;s Jay was the lead of Al Jean and Mike Reiss&#8217; hilarious, yet short-lived animated show called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MFXOUi-3YRg&amp;ab_channel=hall9111\">&#8220;The Critic,&#8221;<\/a> which largely featured the character as he&#8217;s portrayed on &#8220;The Simpsons,&#8221; albeit with some noticeable differences. For one, Jay was made yellow to fit within the world of &#8220;The Simpsons.&#8221; &#8220;The Critic&#8221; also has a bit of a meaner streak when it comes to its humor. He&#8217;s considerably less snarky here. It was no wonder the cult <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> didn&#8217;t really catch on before its cancellation, given that it had hopped from ABC to Fox to Comedy Central.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s a shame, because the two seasons it initially received contain a hysterical treasure trove of jokes for movie people. Of the &#8220;Simpsons&#8221; golden era, &#8220;A Star is Burns&#8221; is an episode that I frequently revisit for that very reason. The coupling of Hans Moleman&#8217;s &#8220;Man Getting Hit by Football,&#8221; followed by Barney Gumble&#8217;s shockingly heartbreaking <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AKVvodPv1vk&amp;ab_channel=TheDJQmaster\">art house confession<\/a> about his alcoholism is a great example of why this was one of the smartest writing teams in the business.
