We're back! One year to the day that this whole journey started, we're embarking on a new adventure: Season 2! And to kick things off, we've got something truly special, an interview with none other than Mike Reiss, co-creator of "The Critic" and long-time writer/producer of "The Simpsons." In this candid interview, Mike details the entire story of The Critic from its inception as a live-action Krusty the Clown spin-off, to its cancellation at ABC, to its final run on FOX, and even gives a sneak peek at some of the episodes planned for the 3rd season that never got to happen! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed conducting it.
Listen to Mike's podcast, "What Am I Doing Here?"
