The Unauthorized Jay Prescott Sherman Biography

Mr. Jay Prescott Sherman is an animated fictional movie critic who lives and works in New York City. Prescott stars in the animated TV series called ‘ The Critic ‘ which lasted one season on ABC in the early nineties and another season on the FOX network before finally being canceled. Jay Sherman is a portly middle-aged New Yorker who could really use a bottle of Rogaine but is much too proud to admit it. In the show ‘ The Critic ‘ Jay hosts a TV show called ‘ Coming Attractions ‘ where he continually insults everyone’s favorite movies because of his extreme dislike for blockbusters. This funny and anti-social behavior leaves him virtually friendless and his manager is constantly scheming to change the theme of his show or just axe it completely. Somehow Jay always wiggles his way out of getting fired but the threat is never far away.
