Review of The Tick

The Tick (2001–2002)
7/10
fun, original, eccentric
19 September 2013
This is an alternate world where superheroes are common place. They walk around like regular folks except some are more successful than others. The Tick (Patrick Warburton) is a bona fide idiot. He is extremely strong, but he can't think his way out of a paper bag. Arthur (David Burke) is The Tick's best friend. Captain Liberty (Liz Vassey) is hot but just wants to be more than a couple of boobs. Batmanuel (Nestor Carbonell) is Latino. The four are the less successful ones.

It had a lot of fun poking at the idea of a superhero. There's some good originality. But it was very odd for network TV, and the laughs were uneven. Nine Episodes were all that could be expected. Warburton is perfect for the role.
