About

"Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic
I remember it so you don't have to."
—Nostalgia Critic
History
The first episode of Nostalgia Critic was about Michael Bay's film Transformers and it was uploaded to YouTube in July 3, 2007. (Shown below.)
In 2008, YouTube had removed several episodes due to copyright infringements, and Doug Walker's channel got suspended. Following this, he moved all his videos to ThatGuywiththeGlasses.com, which has been rebranded as ChannelAwesome.com.
In September 2012, it was announced that Nostalgia Critic would "retire"; however, just a few months later, in January 2013, Doug Walker would upload a short sketch titled "Review Must Go On" (shown below), and it was announced that Nostalgia Critic is back.
Spin-off
In August 2008, a spin-off for Nostalgia Critic, known as Nostalgia Chick, was announced.
