How long as he gone, like four months? I completely forgot he even left.

Good, I can tell myself to watch videos on that site again.
So, Demo Reel bombed then?

Well everything is fair game now as long as it is not currently playing in theaters. There is a lot of stuff both good and bad, both tv series and movies I like for him to look at.
As far as tv shows, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Sym Bionic Titan, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
As far as movies, The Last Airbender, Superhero Movie, The Honeymooners
Oh yeah to be fair, let's try not to mention his name out of spoiler boxes for 24 hours. Let's give people a chance to watch the video and see for themselves.

I liked the video.
I think it took some guts to step out of his comfort zone and try something new, but I think it also takes some guts to admit that he failed and then go back to what you did before and give the fans what they want.

I guessed it without reading the spoilers or watching the video. The title wasn't a cryptic crossword dude ha plus I figured it would come back eventually Tbh though, I'm surprised it came back so quickly though

I didn't really watch Demo Reel, figured a lot of people did the same. And it's funny, I was just thinking earlier on today that since the Nostalgia Critic ended I hadn't really been going to TGWTG as I tended to follow most of the other reviewers I watch from their own sites and thought their traffic must be taking a hit.
Gotta say, for Doug it's gotta suck to take a risk, try going out of your comfort zone and having it flop.
Still glad to see the Critic coming back.

Anyway it was a nice surprise. I was on his site waiting for his latest video, expecting another episode of Demo Reel, and I get this.
One last thing, Doug let's do some episodes without crossovers. I don't mind cameos, but the last few episodes, every episode it seemed had a guest reviewer. Just give us a few episode with just the NC, before you have your crossovers again.

By the way the video went it seems like Demo Reel completely bombing was a humbling experience for Doug.
Though it also makes those several weeks of goodbye to Nostalgia Critic videos a few months ago extremely hilarious now.

Well to be fair, the ending of the anniversy movie did leave the window open that he could comeback.

Well that didn't take long. I liked the video, and I respect the fact he acknowledges Demo Reel was a flop, that took balls.
No cut-off date and double the time to work on reviews for better quality is a good thing and a fair compromise. Welcome back, Critic.

I am glad NC is coming back though
Looks like Doug did miss doing it as well although if Demo Reel had been better/better received who knows

As usual, Brad and Nella stole the video.
But yeah, not surprised. The new show was pretty awful and I imagine having the show end didn't help traffic at all. Dude's gotta make a living.

Good, I can tell myself to watch videos on that site again. So, Demo Reel bombed then? big time. The other actors he got weren't that bad actually, but so many things fell flat. I said back when people here actually paid attention to Demo Reel (first 2 episodes), Doug and Rob needed somebody to basically step up and tell them what sucked and what didn't as even NC became just Doug and Rob doing what they wanted compared to what the audience liked. Biggest support to that argument is the fact that they thought the Mulan ROuge review (one that was pretty hated by the majority of the fanbase) was the greatest thing they had ever done. But as this video eludes to. I think ultimately Doug realized that he missed doing NC and just ended it because he thought he was tired of doing it but he just wore himself out. I mean, Demo Reel ended up relying on a lot of things the Critic would do. Just look at BRad Jones. He does Cinema Snob stuff, but a majority of the videos he's been putting out have been midnight or dvd reviews. The snob has been mostly either crappy series (Sleepaway Camp) or inspiration he got from a crappy remake (Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

I think this was just a harsh realisation for Doug at this point. And that how he just took away his most popular character so abruptly for his new works was not the wisest move.
