The Big Picture There are no two film critics as well-known as Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. The famed hosts of At the Movies spent over twenty years together reviewing movies, advocating upcoming filmmakers, and making their own picks for the winners of the Academy Awards. They appeared on talk shows, reviewed an episode of Saturday Night Live as it was happening, and were once parodied by name in 1998's American take on Godzilla.
As Nathan Rabin detailed in his retrospective review, The Critic was intended to be the anti-Simpsons. Not so much in that would be a drama, but Jean and Reiss wanted to distinguish their creation by making its star Jay Sherman as different from Homer Simpson as possible. To quote Rabin, "Where Homer is a booze-sodden everyman, Jay Sherman is an unabashed elitist. Where Homer is a rudely physical creature, Jay leads a life of the mind. Homer is a slob. Jay is a snob.
