   I watched reruns of The Critic, on Tubi. The show isn't very good, but   
   it has a frustrating quality of *almost* being good. It'll set up some   
   reasonable character situation, then do a corny, predictable joke which   
   knocks me out of both the story and the comedy. If only the comedy were   
   funnier, it might have run for years.   
      
   In that it reminds me of Whoopie, Whoopie Goldberg's sitcom vehicle. It   
   was interesting in many ways, but it just wasn't very funny, and that's   
   a death knell for a comedy.
