    Amazon cancelled the Tick because it didn’t meet Amazon’s “standards” which means it was well made, entertaining and had a devoted fan base. Amazon only keeps shows that are cheap to make, quality doesn’t matter to them.

      ⁠@@marybarnes6407 Producers were keen to return attention to the series so they could make more money from the whole franchise. Most producers are idiots, however, and can never seem to realise when it’s time to quit. Rings of Power was a pet project, so producers would protect it, however the Tick was simply just a “thing” they were not bothered to continue investing in

      And it aired on FoxKids as well. But hey if they brought back Animaniacs, maybe they’ll bring back The Tick. Cuz I seriously MUST know who the Tick is. That’s LITERALLY been the question fans have been asking for years. Yet no one knows, not even Tick himself. Mainly due to him being an amnesiac from years of head injuries. We don’t know his origins, full name (his first name is Mark), his home town, family, or if his suit is actually a suit or if it’s part of his skin. So many questions for this heroic hero who holds out his arms and gives Destiny a big hug, embracing Destiny with every squeeze.

      I saw a teaser for the live-action show that instantly turned me off of it. Where Patrick Warburton (I'm not calling him The Tick - he's just Patrick Warburton in cosplay) rips a coffee machine out of the ground at a gas station, steals a coffee, and says "Coffee, you are my BITCH."
      The Tick would never swear or steal coffee, it goes completely against his naive, childish, heroic demeanour. Any damage he causes is incidental and accidental, and he would never steal.

    My favorite episode is the episode which shows the moon getting messed with again, when the "C" is removed and a huge bite is taken out of it by the Galactus-analog Omnipotus. Unfortunately this episode was not included in the Tick DVD set for some reason, which I always considered to be a bummer. Must be puzzling too for people like me who never saw this episode (I saw the rest of the second season before catching this one) wondering how the moon got a bite taken out of it.

    • @JStryker47

      @jasontoddman7265 Год назад +4

      @@JStryker47 Yes; the show was very good with its continuity I must say. Thing is, I was a latecomer to the watching the show. I didn't see the first season until after I saw the second one (thank goodness for reruns), and the episode with Omnipotus almost last of all, so needless to say that was very, very confusing to me - and in those days before Internet was widely available I had no easy way to find out why the moon was like that right away. 😁

  • @susanfit47

    The Tick animated show was so awesome, I watched it on Fox Kids, and was syndicated on Comedy Central and subsequently helped make it a cult hit with adults. It seems that Comedy Central will be showing the new episodes either the day after or the week after they appear on FOX. Besides showing them on Sundays at 7, the episodes will also appear Sundays at midnight, Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. and Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. Comedy Central did not create any new episodes and after about two years of reruns, they stopped running the show.
    It was brought by Disney and Toon Disney began airing The Tick in 2005, along with other former FOX animated series like X-Men. It would also occasionally air on ABC Family as part of the Jetix cartoon block.

    Very smart for its time. It could easily compete with anything else in today’s entertainment industry. A great piece of meta commentary on the super hero genre reminding us what else we can do with that genre. A lesson creators should take more chances on as they’ve already watered down too much of the genre by reusing the same heroes the same way almost every time! We were very fortunate to have grown up with brands like the Tick. Really don’t envy today’s generation given the industry these days…
