Reception
The Critic has since developed a cult following, and in the late 2000s, had run in syndication.
The DVD set also got many positive reviews, such as one from Animated Views (which gave it an overall rating of 10/10), and one by Columbia Spectator, which also pointed out the show being "one of television's great lost causes."
In September 2006, IGN ranked The Critic 9th in their list of the Top 25 Primetime Animated Series of All Time. In January 2009, they ranked the show 26th in their other list of the Top 100 Best Animated TV Series. In December 2011, Complex ranked the show 6th in their list of The 25 Most Underrated Animated TV Shows Of All Time.
