The Patrick Warburton version of The TIck was utter comedy gold, with some of the funniest scenes/plots/lines/characters every to make their way to a TV screen. How do you not love the Cuban Batman, Batmanuel?
The Warburton version was perfect. The sad thing is people just didn’t get it. It is like another film “Mystery Men.” It was made in the 90s and was loosely based on an independent comic, that had The Tick as a guest once. It had a galaxy of stars. William H. Macy - The Shoveler his superpower? He shovels well, really well. Hank Azaria - The Blue Raja. His superpower was his ability to throw forks, with deadly accuracy. Ben Stiller - Mr. Furious. He has “super strength” brought on by his boundless rage. Jeaneane Garafalo - The Bowler. She is in possession of a magical bowling ball with the skull of her late father Carmine The Bowler. He was found after being pushed down an open elevator shaft… Onto some bullets. Paul Reubens- The Spleen. His power came from an old Gypsy woman. He had “cut the cheese” and blamed it on her. She then put a curse on his head, he would forever be “he who dealt it!” The Invisible Boy - He has the ability to be totally invisible, as long as nobody is looking at him. Their mentor was The Sphinx. He is terribly mysterious, oh and he can cut guns in half with his mind! They were against the bad guys. The Disco Boys (led by Tony P and Tony C) Their power is they carry guns, The Not So Goodie Mob, the Frat Boys, and many more. They were all led by Casanova Frankenstein a super smart bad guy with a razor sharp pinky fingernail. That film had such interesting humor and had a stellar cast and was ignored by the whole country. It is a fun viewing and you should watch it if you can. Oh and the director Kinka Usher was an award winning commercial director who did this one film and went back to commercials. (It was a great effort.)
Not only my favorite one season superhero, but my all time favorite super hero. Automan from 1983. Very original super hero with a very interesting premise, fantastic actors, and a beautiful visual effects style that screams the 80's.
Just wanted to comment that two of the shows on this list, "The Green Hornet" and "The Flash," had truly electrifying themes guaranteed to wake you up and shake you out.
@@GiantFreakinRobot The list sucks. Nowhere do I see HBO's Watchmen. Please, retitle it: MY FAVOURITE SUPERHERO TV SHOWS instead. If nothing else, white nerdy men have hubris
@@GiantFreakinRobot Like he said above, the thumbnail does just say "... better than Marvel". I'm used to misleading titles for your article and some pretty blatant errors in the articles. That's why I always take you with a grain of salt.
RUclips is showing the original pilot episode which is far superior than the broadcast version. The humor is punchier, The story is tighter, and the characterizations and their relationships to each other are to a greater degree funnier with a higher relatability factor.
No Ordinary Family was underrated and under watched. Good cast, good FX, good stories. Greg Berlanti doing superheroes on TV before striking gold with the Arrowverse.
It never got a chance to find an audience, they ran it against NCIS, the most popular show in the country. The second season would have been great. The daughter was starting to get all super-villainy.
"How lucky we are that Swamp Thing would smear on some make-up, throw on a dress, and host this roast. Give it up for Swamp Thing!" Gilbert Gottfried to Kathy Griffin ... the Joan Rivers roast.
Me, too! I loved the episode where Johnny Bukowski danced(?) around bunch of transformers, charging himself up and shooting lightening bolts at the bad guys.
Dina Meyer can do no wrong but the changes made from the comic book seemed needless. It was still enjoyable but it felt it was made to give some creator a chance to show his/her vision rather than to show The Birds Of Prey as the fans expectations of the original B.O.P.
Watched the show before reading the books, and i liked Paul Blackthorne and Terrance mann as harry and bob, respectively. After reading the books, way too much was changed, left out, and just makes it a pale imitation. Seriously, it's not harry blackstone copperfield dresden without the duster.(lol)
Swamp Thing wasn’t the only DC Universe show that didn’t make the jump to HBOmax. Stargirl didn’t either. Though it did go to the CW where it got two more seasons. So, it’s not fit for this list but It was also phenomenal.
M.A.N.T.I.S. was a one-and-done with a unique Black superhero with a mostly Black supporting cast until FOX whitewashed all of them off the show except Carl Lumbly and Galynn Gorg because, even in the '90s, networks balked at a Black TV show that wasn't a comedy full of jive talking stereotypes. With the successes of "Blade" and "Black Panther" I would hope that somebody will do a decent reboot...
"Remember Marvel's 'Runaways'"? Of course you don't!" You mean the teen superhero team that had a goddamn dinosaur for a pet? Yes, I *absolutely* do, actually. "Misfits of Science"! OMG, I loved that show as a kid. I wonder what I'd think of it now... All that about "Swamp Thing", and you don't mention the 90's series that got three seasons? I recall it being pretty cool. "Do not bring your evil here." The 1990 "Flash" series was cool. And true to their stunt casting, not only did the Arrowverse "Flash" have John Wesley Shipp, but Amanda Pays plays another version of Dr. Tina McGee in a few episodes of the 2014 series, too!
I don't really think Shipp's casting was intended to be "stunt casting" but rather an intentional wink and homage to Shipp's "The Flash" series. He was, after all, originally cast as Barry's dad in the Arrowverse series though it was really nice to see him playing alternate universes' Flashes as well.
@@josephwest124 I'm aware that Shipp was the OG Flash. That's what makes it stunt casting. You know I don't mean it as an insult, right? The Arrowverse has done tons of this, and I love it! We've had Lynda Carter, Helen Slater (from the "Supergirl" movie), Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain (Lois and Clark from.. er, "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman", Jon Cryer ("Superman IV")...
1. If you really don't expect too much from it(it IS a Rogen film after all), Green Hornet is quite fun to watch. 2. My fav episode of Flash 90 is the one with Nightshade. 3. In all honesty, I much prefer the animated Tick over the live action one.
Swamp Thing and Constantine were both really good and had a lot of potential which was killed with far too early cancellation. The original Flash series was very entertaining. I liked it a lot. They didn't mention Birds of Prey but it was very good, but it diverted too far from the comics to be as good as it could have been. The Tick was hilarious.
Swamp Thing could of been saved if guest appearances of him and Blue Devil appeared on Doom Patrol or other Arrowverse shows (I e. Legends of Tomorrow). They totally let the ball drop!
@@sneggleblech actually, it was underfunded, oddly, from a grant provided by the state they were filming in. The state promised a certain amount, the production used credit waiting for the grant, and when the grant came in, it was a significant amount less than what was promised.

@@GiantFreakinRobotmannimal great? It was basically a normal detective show with one of three transformations thrown in haphazardly every episode... too repetrtive by far and Borderline boring.
Oh I watched 5 out of those 9 and absolutely loved them! My kids have never watched The Tick! but can still quote, "SPOON!" and "Not in the face! Not in the face!" I'm giggling as I type this...
Thanks so much for this list. While I might have some of these in a different order, I agree with them all. And by far, my favorite is that one season of the superhero sitcom about nothing, THE TICK!
The Patrick Warburton version of the Tick was bloody hilarious and deserved way more than 1 season. Apparently not enough views despite having great reviews. It's a big purple shame really. 🤷♂😕
misfits! yeah, really needed another season. i loved the 90's flash! i also loved that they brought him back in the new flash series. I was about to say My secret identity with a very young jerry O'Connell , but it ran for 3 seasons. i only saw a few episodes of it in my country.
Mantis (1994) - Paralyzed scientist creates an exoskeleton to help him fight crime. Sable (1987) - An author paints his face with camoflauge patterns and fights crime by night. Only lasted seven episodes. Powerless (2016) - Set in the DC universe with occasional appearances by b-list superheroes, it follows the employees of an insurance company that deals with the consequences of super-powered people fighting in a city.
Mantis was TERRIBLE compared to what it could have been. The original pilot was very good. But the studio intervened and replaced most of the original cast and changed the whole premise of the series.
THE CAPE made a mistake casting Keith David in a supporting role because his magnetic screen presence always drew audience attention away from the star. And that brief sequence of the Captain America broadway musical was NOT the most we'd get - Disney produced a one-act version for their theme parks.
Does Max Headroom count? The show lasted a season and was set in a dystopian future where tv networks ruled the world, le gasp. The AI was basically a precursor to RUclips commentators and their pesky miss, diss and dat information.
This won't ever happen because Warner Bros rarely ever does what the fans want. And the Superman and Lois writers probably just want to focus on finishing their storylines for their final season. But I would give anything for one more multiverse crossover involving most of the DCTV shows like Gotham with David Mazouz as Batman, Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman and Birds of Prey (never watched the last two but hear me out) and especially the ones that were unfairly cancelled: Legends of Tomorrow, Stargirl, Powerless and I didn't watch it but also Swamp Thing. And I heard from the actress who played the tituar Naomi wanted to meet Superman despite being in a universe seperate from the ACTUAL Superman. Finally, I would have the crossover end by having all of these shows take place in the same universe like Crisis on Infinite Earths. Except for some shows that would contradict the timeline like Smallville and Gotham, obviously. The whole point of all these projects staying separate in its' own universe was stand out on their own, not relying on another show's popularity and messing up the timeline of other shows. But they're all over now and some characters in some universes don't exist; they might as well break reality and make them cohabitate in the same world! Their respective networks clearly don't give a shit about them. But the writers do! Seeing Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, the Earth Prime Justice League, the Earth 2 JSA, the Titans, the Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing and Powerless retconned to be in the same world would be perfect for me! And they could also return to this universe in future projects once in a while like the DCAU! And it has to made by competent people who respect each of these shows. With better writing, direction, VFX, etc. Smallville has an animated series in the works; maybe it could start from there! And the crew making the show, mainly Michael Rosenbaum, is close with James Gunn. But I'd rather the entire story be a miniseries branded as Elseworlds as James Gunn put it instead of just a storyline on Superman and Lois.
Weird no mention, even in the comments, of the one time critical darling “the Watchmen” HBO series, which only had one season, but was loosely based on one of the most famous comic series ever. Didn’t leave much of an impression even a couple years later.
Hawkeye got too much hate, I think. Other than doing Kingpin a little dirty, I genuinely enjoyed it from start to finish. In fact, I found it to be one of the best things Marvel put out that wasn't one of the Netflix shows. It still baffles me when people bitch about it.
Manimal, it was great, they did a test run for rebooting on episode of Nightman featuring the guys daughter turning into animals, but didn't pan out🤔🤔😞😞😞😞🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
The Tick absolutely deserves the number one spot. Loved it. The second version couldn't grab me. No one replaces Warburton. I disagree with The Flash, original version. There was too much anger. Not pleasant in good guys. Especially the lab doctor. Hated her character portayal. Batman found a reasonable balance in his anger in the movies. In The Flash they were just always angry as a default emotional state.
Swamp Thing was amazing... It got rave reviews from fans and critics alike, and was canceled by a know-nothing executive SUIT for no valid reason... Executive suits are the reason studios and franchises struggle to release quality content nowadays... Their creative art ignorant greedy petty selves have now infested every aspect of tv and movie making... From screenplay and editing revisions, directing inference, A-list casting requirements, etc. Only a few directors have creative free rein... Spielberg, Cameron, Nolan and Villeneuve are thankfully free of Executive Suit interference, and it drastically shows by the no-compromise quality of their work...
Yeah, using the tagline 'better than marvel' and then including marvel shows seems sketchy. Somehow my brain was convinced the Flash was two seasons. Guess that means I need to go rewatch it. Glad to hear Swamp Thing is worth checking out, as I keep meaning to get back to it, but man, was that first episode rough.
The Patrick Warburton version of The TIck was utter comedy gold, with some of the funniest scenes/plots/lines/characters every to make their way to a TV screen. How do you not love the Cuban Batman, Batmanuel?
true to this day me and my wife crack each other up with quotes from it.
The Warburton version was perfect. The sad thing is people just didn’t get it.
It is like another film “Mystery Men.” It was made in the 90s and was loosely based on an independent comic, that had The Tick as a guest once. It had a galaxy of stars.
William H. Macy - The Shoveler his superpower? He shovels well, really well.
Hank Azaria - The Blue Raja. His superpower was his ability to throw forks, with deadly accuracy.
Ben Stiller - Mr. Furious. He has “super strength” brought on by his boundless rage.
Jeaneane Garafalo - The Bowler. She is in possession of a magical bowling ball with the skull of her late father Carmine The Bowler. He was found after being pushed down an open elevator shaft… Onto some bullets.
Paul Reubens- The Spleen. His power came from an old Gypsy woman. He had “cut the cheese” and blamed it on her. She then put a curse on his head, he would forever be “he who dealt it!”
The Invisible Boy - He has the ability to be totally invisible, as long as nobody is looking at him.
Their mentor was The Sphinx. He is terribly mysterious, oh and he can cut guns in half with his mind!
They were against the bad guys.
The Disco Boys (led by Tony P and Tony C) Their power is they carry guns, The Not So Goodie Mob, the Frat Boys, and many more.
They were all led by Casanova Frankenstein a super smart bad guy with a razor sharp pinky fingernail.
That film had such interesting humor and had a stellar cast and was ignored by the whole country. It is a fun viewing and you should watch it if you can.
Oh and the director Kinka Usher was an award winning commercial director who did this one film and went back to commercials. (It was a great effort.)
Yup. Warburton was born to play the Tick, as much as Jackman was born to play Wolverine.
Not only my favorite one season superhero, but my all time favorite super hero. Automan from 1983.
Very original super hero with a very interesting premise, fantastic actors, and a beautiful visual effects style that screams the 80's.
Man I recall that show, it was fun
Absolutely brilliant, loved it.
Man, I wanted more of the Constantine show. Definitely gone too soon. Oh and Amazon's The Tick was chef's kiss.
Agreed on both
Both versions of The Tick were good.

I loved that show. I was so disappointed that it ended so soon. Michael Chicklis was also in Under the Dome and Breaking Bad at that same time.
"How lucky we are that Swamp Thing would smear on some make-up, throw on a dress,

The Tick had the best ever joke about heat vision, probably the best that there will ever be.
Even a potato can die?
I still laugh every time I hear the line "BatManuel loves Soccer Moms".
"Fight fire with Arthur!"
My favorite is Misfits of Science. I watched it when it originally aired.
Glad someone besides me remembers!

My favorite 1-Season Superhero shows (aside from the above) include She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Nightman, Mantis, Moon Knight, Lucan, Gemini Man, Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, and Naomi

And O.J.'s Kato Kaelin can serve as referee.
Kind of a Bambi versus Godzilla situation, don't think it would last very long.
I unabashedly loved both series of the TICK and Constantine was excellent, all of them needed more seasons.
The Tick, Followed by Constantine. As sometimes I want dark and sometimes I want goofball.
I think that the Cape lives on in the form of the new Absolute Batman. The costume is different, but don't tell me the cape ain't the Cape's!
Mantis (1994) - Paralyzed scientist creates an exoskeleton to help him fight crime.
Sable (1987) - An author paints his face with camoflauge patterns and fights crime by night. Only lasted seven episodes.
Powerless (2016) - Set in the DC universe with occasional appearances by b-list superheroes, it follows the employees of an insurance company that deals with the consequences of super-powered people fighting in a city.
Mantis was TERRIBLE compared to what it could have been. The original pilot was very good. But the studio intervened and replaced most of the original cast and changed the whole premise of the series.
They should make swamp thing a multiple season show regardless of a movie. Bring it back.
I am surprised there isn't a new reboot of Bionic Man. Of course, he would have to be the six Billion dollar man now.
I vaguely recall a show called "The Powers of Matthew Star."
The Cape! Six seasons and a movie!!!
The first live-action of THE TICK was great, especially for the character of BAT-MANUEL.
A second season of Hawkeye would be unlikely given Jeremy Renner's accident, unless he was strictly an advisor and trainer to Kate.
No ordinary family definitely deserved a season 2 at least.
The cape was pretty good
What movie or series is that clip at 4:50 from?
The Cape was brilliant and it could have gone on to great things.
it is rumored that hawkeye will get a second season.The flash starded good but became a bit silly further on.
Fun choices.
Swamp Thing is my favorite of these.
I also enjoyed Cloak & Dagger
No Ordinary Family just left us hanging, but their only season was quite enjoyable.
The 90s Flash is still one of the best looking hero suits ever created.
Don't forget about Spike TVs Blade series
The guardians, I think it was called that it was about that superhero family
THE CAPE made a mistake casting Keith David in a supporting role because his magnetic screen presence always drew audience attention away from the star. And that brief sequence of the Captain America broadway musical was NOT the most we'd get - Disney produced a one-act version for their theme parks.
When mentioning radio superheroes who are millionaire playboys, you forgot the one that got a movie starring Alec Baldwin, "The Shadow".

Does Max Headroom count? The show lasted a season and was set in a dystopian future where tv networks ruled the world, le gasp. The AI was basically a precursor to RUclips commentators and their pesky miss, diss and dat information.
It does not count. It has nothing to do with super heroes. It was also two seasons, not one.
I’d call it more straight sci-fi than a superhero show, but I guess you could make an argument!
Where was the mantis in your list?
I am still not over the cancellation of Swamp Thing.
When Summer shows up, the show is canceled.
Unfortunately. And I like almost every one she’s in.
Constantine was epic😎
Birds of Prey (TV) one season. If they reboot it, Lobo the bounty hunter would be a great antagonist.

The whole point of all these projects staying separate in its' own universe was stand out on their own, not relying on another show's popularity and messing up the timeline of other shows. But they're all over now and some characters in some universes don't exist; they might as well break reality and make them cohabitate in the same world!
Their respective networks clearly don't give a shit about them. But the writers do! Seeing Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, the Earth Prime Justice League, the Earth 2 JSA, the Titans, the Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing and Powerless retconned to be in the same world would be perfect for me! And they could also return to this universe in future projects once in a while like the DCAU! And it has to made by competent people who respect each of these shows. With better writing, direction, VFX, etc. Smallville has an animated series in the works; maybe it could start from there! And the crew making the show, mainly Michael Rosenbaum, is close with James Gunn. But I'd rather the entire story be a miniseries branded as Elseworlds as James Gunn put it instead of just a storyline on Superman and Lois.
2:34 ahhh summer ❤
Alpha's was a great two season superhero show.
If "Swamp Thing" returns who will stuff the shirt formerly worn by Adrienne Barbeau?
Instead of including marvel series you should add great shows like:
Man From Atlantis
No Ordinary Family
Dark Angel
Yes...No Ordinary Family.
Dark Angel...hated they got cancelled
Weird no mention, even in the comments, of the one time critical darling “the Watchmen” HBO series, which only had one season, but was loosely based on one of the most famous comic series ever.
Didn’t leave much of an impression even a couple years later.
Hawkeye got too much hate, I think. Other than doing Kingpin a little dirty, I genuinely enjoyed it from start to finish. In fact, I found it to be one of the best things Marvel put out that wasn't one of the Netflix shows. It still baffles me when people bitch about it.
Manimal, it was great, they did a test run for rebooting on episode of Nightman featuring the guys daughter turning into animals, but didn't pan out🤔🤔😞😞😞😞🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
The Tick absolutely deserves the number one spot. Loved it. The second version couldn't grab me. No one replaces Warburton. I disagree with The Flash, original version. There was too much anger. Not pleasant in good guys. Especially the lab doctor. Hated her character portayal. Batman found a reasonable balance in his anger in the movies. In The Flash they were just always angry as a default emotional state.
TICK 💙 Patrick B! 🍺
Swamp Thing was amazing... It got rave reviews from fans and critics alike, and was canceled by a know-nothing executive SUIT for no valid reason... Executive suits are the reason studios and franchises struggle to release quality content nowadays... Their creative art ignorant greedy petty selves have now infested every aspect of tv and movie making... From screenplay and editing revisions, directing inference, A-list casting requirements, etc. Only a few directors have creative free rein... Spielberg, Cameron, Nolan and Villeneuve are thankfully free of Executive Suit interference, and it drastically shows by the no-compromise quality of their work...
Yeah, using the tagline 'better than marvel' and then including marvel shows seems sketchy.
Somehow my brain was convinced the Flash was two seasons.
Guess that means I need to go rewatch it.
Glad to hear Swamp Thing is worth checking out, as I keep meaning to get back to it, but man, was that first episode rough.
The Cape was the equate version of Batman.
Constantine and Swamp Thing were good in my opinion. A shame they got cancelled
Hawkeye may have gotten a second season if, Hawkeye were in it.
I think I'm one of the few people who actually likes the Keanu Constantine.....
Surprised Birds of Prey didn't make the list
I loved the cape
