Nostalgia Critic is a comedy webseries created, written, edited by, and starring Chicago native Doug Walker with assistance from his brother Rob Walker. The series initially launched on YouTube in 2007 before moving to independent sites, such as That Guy with the Glasses and Blip.tv. The show follows the titular Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker), a bitter and sarcastic film critic, as he reviews movies and television shows from his childhood and recent past (later expanded to include anything not still in theaters), usually with comically exaggerated rage. The show often alternates the Critic's angry rants and juvenile humor with legitimate analysis of the episode's subject.
Doug briefly retired the series at the end of 2012 to work on other projects, even writing the character out of existence in the Channel Awesome film To Boldly Flee. On January 22, 2013, however, Doug announced the show's imminent return in a narrative video called "The Review Must Go On". The more narrative and sketch-driven sixth season began on February 5, 2013 with a review of the film The Odd Life of Timothy Green.
