I enjoy lighter-hearted superhero fare, but somehow totally missed the fact that there was even a "Tick" character! (My bad.) I ran across this short-lived but hysterical series on Amazon Prime. Having been a huge "Batman" fan when it aired on ABC in the mid-Sixties (Yeesh, have that many years really gone by???) this show hooked me right away. Tick-camp differs from Bat-camp a bit----it's less splashy and more concentrated---but it's written and performed splendidly. The entire cast is perfect, especially Patrick Warburton. Like Adam West, he can expertly deadpan his way through clever dialogue, and he makes his character work---very few actors can be funny in situations such as arguing with a toilet, but Warburton makes it all look easy. Fans have bemoaned the "The Tick's" hasty axing after only 9 episodes (the Fox network was apparently more concerned with other things, such as burrowing itself into the country's political fabric) but better to have a few really funny episodes than none at all. Be sure to give this little gem a watch.
