The first season of "The Tick" is finally coming to DVD! (Aug 29) If your only exposure to The Tick is from the 8 episode live action show they tried doing in 2001, you are most definitely missing out. "The Tick" is great. So great that - okay, I don't want to spoil it for you. But with villians like Dinosaur Neil, The Angry Red Herring, Proto Clown, and El Seed, how can you go wrong? (Have I mentioned other superheros like American Maid, Bi-Polar Bear ("This looks like a job for Bi-Polar Bear... but I just cant seem to get out of bed."), and Die Fledermaus?)
Okay, so he's a big, blue, stupid superhero. That's what endears him to us...
I leave you with one quote from the show:
Tick: [shouts] Spoon!
Ok, here's a second:
Tick: Destiny's powerful hand has made the bed of my future, and it's up to me to lie in it. I am destined to be a superhero. To right wrongs, and to pound two-fisted justice into the hearts of evildoers everywhere. And you don't fight destiny. No sir. And, you don't eat crackers in the bed of your future, or you get all... scratchy.

How many seasons of the tick were there? Toon Disney (or whatever it is) shows the same 10-15 episodes over and over and over again.
3 Seasons, 36 episodes.
Maybe they show it twice a day, cycling through the episodes, and you are only getting 1/2 the run each time.
