The Tick

The Tick is a short-lived sit-com based on the comic book and cartoon of the same name. The titular character (Patrick Warburton) is a muscle-bound, blue-suited super hero who bounds around the city to fight the evil lurking in every corner. His immense sense of duty is only surpassed by his child-like sense of wonder. He' needs his chum, Arthur (David Burke) to keep him in check. Arthur is a wannabe super hero who gave up his job as an accountant to wear a moth suit and follow after the tick, having a panic attack all along the way. The two chums aren't alone in their fight against injustice. Batmanuel (Nestor Carbonell), a self-centered superhero, and Captain Liberty) Liz Vassey, the government's weapon against super crime, have their backs. The show was cancelled after 8 episodes aired, mostly due to the lack of promotion from FOX. It maintains a strong cult following along with the comic and animated series. MORE
