The Tick!

TheZeroMan · 01-05-2004, 11:04 PM

When is Adult swim going to get off their asses and get ahold of the Tick cartoon show?

Its my favorite show ever. And comedy central hasn't shown it since they first got it years ago. Whats the F'n deal? Who owns it and why aren't they playing it?

i think fox does, but instead of playing the cartoon they had that moronic rick moranis play the tick in a filmed "the tick" series. and oh what a disaster it was, rick obviously either knows nothing of the tick or he just doesn't care(same goes for the director)

Consider The Tick dead and buried, my friend.
Spoooooooooooon...

I'd like to see the Tick on Adult Swim. They should use it to replace Reign. Anything is better than that.

I can think of a few things worse than Reign... but they all involve large hairy russian men mating... so... they probably don't count.

On Topic: The Tick is one of my favorite cartoons. How could anyone NOT love it? His battle cry is "SPOON!" for godsake! Not to mention the other super heros... sewer urchin, the human bullet... and I believe Fox and CN are owned by the same company, so getting the rights for Cartoon Network to continue the Tick cartoon shouldn't be too hard.

Actually, Fox is owned by Fox, and CN is owned by Time-Warner. I don't really think that matters much though, as CN already got Futurama and Family Guy, why can't they get The Tick? Also, if CN does get The Tick, it'll be practically the only show on Adult Swim that has it's own video game. Not like it really matters, just thought I'd mention it...

Anyway, since I was young at the time, I only have vague memories of The Tick, but I do remember that it was hilarious. Though I definitely need a refresher.

couple of years ago, Comedy Central used to run the Tick late at night (alongside The Critic, another great Fox cartoon series). So I think CC might still own the rights to The Tick.

I don't think CC owns the rights to the Tick. CC shows SNL episodes, but NBC still owns the rights to them. So, Fox probably still owns the rights to the Tick.

I only remember them showing about ten or so episodes myself. Though the one that sticks out best is th eone where the Tick gets turned into a chicken by an evil kid scientist.
