Any fans of The Tick animated series on DU?

[arbusto_baboso]

I'm not the only one, am I? I loved that show. Bizarre adult-themed shit, masquerading as a kids cartoon.

Whatever happened to Ben Edlund, anyway, and is he still doing "the hard stuff"?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

1. I loved it!

I liked the live version, too.

[arbusto_baboso]

7. Wasn't Patrick Warburton perfectly cast?

[DarkTirade]

2. I liked it, but its been so long that I barely remember it.

[Dr. Strange]

3. My favorite episode: The Tick vs The Tick.

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdGrWkDOrJY

5. That was a great one. I loved The Tick vs. Reno, Nevada.

Come to think of it, they were all pretty good.

[Jokerman]

17. "Yea Baby Yea!"

"I am the evil midnight bomber what bombs at midnight."

My favorite episode as well.

27. Barry Barry Barry Barry Barry!

4. I loved that show, and the comic, and the live action show too.

No idea what Edlund's up to now...

But oh my that is my favorite comic ever. :)


OMG... he's writing Supernatural episodes now. So glad Midlo mentioned that show. And now they're showing the season again... yay!

[arbusto_baboso]

6. He wrote a couple episodes (and directed) for the final season of Angel, too.

He wrote the puppet episode. Figures. Twisted mo-fo.

[redqueen]

8. Yeah?

I never watched that show... maybe I should've.

I'm such a fangirl for that comic / show I have little action figures and toys. That's what I'd always look for at sci-fi / comic cons... Tick stuff. :) Never did get all the comics though. Bah.

[arbusto_baboso]

9. Did you see the comic with Bill the Samurai?

I loved Bill. He baked his katana into a baguette to get it past airport security. He was perfectly paired with The Tick.

[redqueen]

12. Hah, yes...

My favorite issue is Night of a Million Zillion Ninjas. :)


edit: actually I don't remember the katana in a bagel so I don't have that one... but I am familiar with that character... he's been in a few issues.

[TommyO]

10. Ho, Ho, Ho... Ho, Ho Ho...

It's a yule tide....

[arbusto_baboso]

11. Yes! "His Achilles Heel is.... the noogie!"

"If he jumps up and kicks you in the stomach... he's probably NOT Santa."

[Jokerman]

16. "Santa IS real, and he's a compulsive gift giver."

"You've kept the faith longer than any sane person could have."

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. It was hysterical and I adored it.

[arbusto_baboso]

14. It was even better when "under the influence", I found.

But that's my personal preference.

However, a show should be watched by someone in the same mental state as the writer was when he wrote it.

[Jokerman]

15. SPOON!

I recorded all the episodes when toon disney ran them a few years ago.

Still one of my all-time favorites!

[semillama]

18. Did you know that The Venture Brothers was born out of the ashes

of the live-action Tick series? True.

[arbusto_baboso]

21. Maybe that explains why I like the Venture Brothers so much.

Is Ben Edlund involved with that one at all?

[Tyrone Slothrop]

22. Sure is

He's written 3 or 4 of the episodes.

[arbusto_baboso]

24. You just gave me a reason to go out and buy Venture Brothers dvds.

My wife will probably hate you for that.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

25. I just started watching The VB about 5 or 6 weeks ago

I had to go out and get all 3 DVD sets after I'd watched the first few episodes. So good...

Fortunately, my gf kind of enjoys it. Not as much as I do, but I'll take what I can get!

[arbusto_baboso]

26. Oh, my wife likes the VB, too.

She just hates my "reckless spending". It's always with the "we haven't got the money", and "what are we going to buy groceries with?" and "Will your dvds help us when we're living out of our cars?"

She's such a buzzkill sometimes.

[semillama]

30. He was involved in three episodes, according to IMDB. n/t

[unpossibles]

19. SPOOOOOON!

the dingo ate my baby!

(or something like that)

[Swede]

20. That was a great show.

So many great quotes from it.

[AllenVanAllen]

23. Thrakamazog! Two Yaks and a Dog?

"Susan?"


That was a great comic and animated show. The live action show wasn't quite as good but it was still cool!

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Come face the 11 foot wall of justice that is manuever fourteen

[Jamastiene]

29. Spooooooon!

Of course, I loved it. :evilgrin:

[fNord]

31. Hell Yha!

SPOON!!!!



"They Cant blow up the earth! All my stuffs there!"

[ThomCat]

32. I just discovered the live action show, thanks to this thread

and watched every episode today on youtube. That was an awesome show! :rofl:

I think I like the live action show much more than the cartoon. They changed a lot, but it worked, and I like the more adult oriented approach in the live action show. :P

It's too bad there was only 1 season. :(

[NJmaverick]

33. It was a fine show that was cut down too soon

[Gidney N Cloyd]

34. I'm convinced there are unaired episodes of the live show.

I remember reading Fox was holding back premiering the show, building up a supply of episodes so they'd have fresh programming to run when the expected writers strike hit. Then they only ran about 6 before canceling.

[arbusto_baboso]

35. You're right about that, actually.

I remeber seeing a dvd of the live-action show, and it included several "unaired episodes" in the set. There are at least a dozen total episodes that I'm aware of.

37. Hulu.com has all the Tick Live action episodes
