The Tick (Amazon) -- Series Discussion Thread
From People.com;
Don’t worry citizens, The Tick is back to save the day! Broad-shouldered Patrick Warburton only sported his blue antennae for one season the first go-around, but the critically acclaimed superhero parody is now being revived on Amazon, a source tells PEOPLE. The cult-classic series is based on a comic book by Ben Edlund and was first brought to television as an animated series that enjoyed three seasons of success in the mid 1990s. In early 2002, Fox canceled Warburton's live-action version (which also starred a pre-Lost Nestor Carbonell) after just nine episodes. But no one can stop The Tick from keeping watch over The City. For more inspiring stories about real-life heroes and can't-miss articles found only in PEOPLE subscribe now. Warburton – who has also appeared on Seinfeld and Rules of Engagement – recently inked a deal with Amazon and Sony to reprise his role, with Edlund producing and writing, according to the source. Fans can only hope Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood will once again design Warburton's ab-tastic blue body suit. :up: Looking forward to more episodes! |

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Wow, that's great news. This and Greg the Bunny were awesome on Fox during that time.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
KEEN! Amazon just sold a subscription.
I've still have a Tick T-shirt that I got from a comic store in the late 90's. I only wear it like twice a year so it's still in pretty good shape. It's the cartoon Tick.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Nestor Carbonel as Bat Manuel was awesome.
|
Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Wow. I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I watched a few back in the day. I'd probably watch this.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Sorry to hijack The Tick, but ... Greg the Bunny! Yet another reference I commonly make and nobody understands: Aye-iggit, blah.
|
Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
I can't believe this, all my fanboy dreams are coming true. The animated series still brilliantly holds up and the live-action series had huge potential.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Wait, what? Really? That's awesome.
Did Rules of Engagement get cancelled? I thought once CBS renews a Monday night Sitcom, they keep it on their schedule until all the cast members are dead. |

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
On the one hand this sounds pretty cool, but on the other a revival after twelve years makes me skeptical. I might still check it out though.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Holy crap, this is one announcement I NEVER expected to see.
|
Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Yes, this is good news...

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
This is great news. I'd like the whole cast to come back, but Warburton and Edlund are enough to make me happy.
|
Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
The ancillary characters are likely Sony's IP anyway. Edlund should own the characters who originated in the comics only after all this time, and Sony has likely lost any claim to their rights years ago. Maybe it's time for a third version of the Batman/Wonder Woman supporting parody team?

He's got a pretty steady career now, I doubt he's coming back. It wouldn't shock me if no one from the original comes back except Warburton.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
I'd like a new Arthur. I didn't care for the guy who played him. I'd go with Johnathan Slavin from Better Off Ted.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Liz Vassey...........that's all I've got to say.

Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
So for anyone interested who doesn't own it I saw the complete (for now) series at Walmart for $5. Not sure if they all have it though.
|
Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
/\ Be aware, though, that it is a Mill Creek repackaging.
The series is also on Netflix Instant. |
Re: The Tick - Patrick Warburton to return for Amazon
Hulu Plus, the ball is now in your court to revive a cancelled Fox sitcom. Titus might finally see a fourth season!
I personally thought the live-action adaptation of The Tick sucked. I'd rather see a show like Action get a second chance of life than this shit. |

From what I know of the comic, there are no shortage of characters for them to bring in. Looking forward to this, even though it'll mean I have to get a prime subscription.
