Trio Trophy - Day Twenty
And now, the Co-Ed Fever bracket finalists:
(3) The Critic v. (4) The Greatest American Hero
How they got here:
The Critic
Round 1: defeated Voyagers!, 11-3
Round 2: defeated Freaks and Geeks, 3-1
Round 3: defeated Kolchak the Night Stalker, 3-2
The Greatest American Hero
Round 1: defeated G v. E, 6-3
Round 2: defeated Battlestar Galactica, 4-1
Round 3: defeated I'll Fly Away, 4-1
Marked for Death: It's hard to come up with a show killer for an animated program, as the voice actors tend to get a lot of work, if not long-term roles. Also, most of the folks who worked on The Critic have also worked on The Simpsons, which is apparently unkillable. But there is a decent candidate in Park Overall, who was on the inexplicably popular Empty Nest before a small recurring role on its short-lived spin-off Nurses and later roles on Ladies Man and Reba. As for The Greatest American Hero, you can probably go with Faye Grant, who played one of Ralph's students before they were written out. She'd go on to get roles on the series V and Time of Your Life, where she couldn't Jennifer Love Hewitt and her two co-stars.

Ze Baron is troubled.
I have steadfastly voted against all animated material for years, but there is no way that the Greatest American Hero is getting into the Final Four in a Brilliant But Cancelled Contest.
The Critic it is.
Even though it opened the door for the animated flashback/cutaway that Family Guy and American Dad have made their life's blood, and even though Jon Lovitz keeps following us around and reminding us he's no Phil Hartman and even though it means agreeing with Baron... nope can't do it. I'll vote with the show I loved as a kid over the show I enjoyed but never embraced as an adult - GAH.
Greatest American Hero. Freaks & Geeks revenge!
The Critic...both contenders are probably at the end of the line, but give me this matchup and I'm going with the cartoon.
I vote not for Greatest American hero, but AGAINST The Critic
