How 'The Critic' Predicted The Future

In Season 1, Episode 9, titled "LA Jay" (which originally aired on June 22, 1994 on ABC), Jay Sherman (voiced by Jon Lovitz) went to Los Angeles after being offered a chance to write a film for a fictional franchise. While there, Jay lounged by the pool with his movie star friend Jeremy (Maurice LaMarche), who is seen reading a Variety with the headline "NBC Sinks To 5th."
