Watched 10 minutes of the pilot and wasn't into it. Every character seemed like Joey from friends.

Thankfully I watched the 2017 series before watching this because the 2017 series was a huge letdown. Anyway, this show is simply brilliant. There are just a handful of episodes because I think it didn't get enough viewership back in the days but if it came out today, it would kill. This is literally ahead of it's time. A hilarious take on the superhero mythos. The chemistry of the group is great. The stories are entertaining. Sadly, like I said before, there are only 6 or 7 episodes. They cut it too short. I'm guess it was a Fox television series. Anyway check it out and enjoy!

I'm a big fan of the Tick 1994 Animated Series, so I was a little skeptical about this show. I wasn't sure how the goofy and cartoony elements from the Tick Animated Series would translate into live action. However, after watching the pilot, I was pleasantly surprised. Much of the same talent that worked on the animated series (writers, producers, etc.) returned to work on this live action show. It certainly shows, as there are many similarities to the cartoon here, however it also stands alone and is unique in its own right. If you like the animated series, or even if you didn't or never watched it, give this series a try. It seems like it was really ahead of its time, and it's too bad it was cut so short. The actors here are fantastic, starting with Patrick Warburton of course, but I love Nestor Carbonell as Batmanuel also. He's absolutely hilarious!

The Tick has gone from comic book to animated series to live action, each able to do things the other medium can't. Given that set of circumstances, the show was too short lived. I don't think it would have lasted a lot of years, but three or four could have been possible.*** SOME OF THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED SPOILERS!! *** There were apparently copyright issues in introducing some of the same supporting cast, hence Deflator Mouser became BatManuel, and American Maid became Captain Liberty, but the characterizations and stories involving all of them were very well done.Guest stars included Christopher Lloyd (in the pilot episode as Arthur's boss Mr. Fishladder), Armin Schimerman as The Terror, Sam MacMurry as The Immortal, Ron Perlman as Fiery Blaze and Patrick Breen as his sidekick Friendly Fire, Dave Foley as a super-hero intervention counselor, Kurt Fuller as Destroyo, and Jonathan Penner as The Champion.So many of these episodes dealt at least as much with real world situations placed into the scenarios of the superhero's realm, and given The Tick's very odd outlook, resulted in extremely humorous and laugh-out-loud episodes.You might not like it as much as the book or the cartoon, but take the opportunity to see it, you will laugh!
