Reviews

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
neckstine-45101 Watched 10 minutes of the pilot and wasn't into it. Every character seemed like Joey from friends.
btimmfan I'm a big fan of the Tick 1994 Animated Series, so I was a little skeptical about this show. I wasn't sure how the goofy and cartoony elements from the Tick Animated Series would translate into live action. However, after watching the pilot, I was pleasantly surprised. Much of the same talent that worked on the animated series (writers, producers, etc.) returned to work on this live action show. It certainly shows, as there are many similarities to the cartoon here, however it also stands alone and is unique in its own right. If you like the animated series, or even if you didn't or never watched it, give this series a try. It seems like it was really ahead of its time, and it's too bad it was cut so short. The actors here are fantastic, starting with Patrick Warburton of course, but I love Nestor Carbonell as Batmanuel also. He's absolutely hilarious!
Ben Jensen I vaguely remembered this show from it's first airing. I was the right age for the cartoon when it aired, and I remember liking that a lot, but I'd just started college when this hit the air and didn't watch much TV. This show was ahead of it's time, especially considering the recent slate of "vigilante superhero" films. Great over the top single cam comedy. Great Cast, great direction, and an excellent script. Standout episode 8 is hilarious, all of them are very funny. Aspiring writers should take notice of the the easily discerned A plot, B plot, C plot structure. The cast grew together and they really put the chemistry on screen after the first couple episodes.Do yourself a favor and watch all 9 on netflix. We rarely get anything out of the ordinary on TV and this is a perfect example of something that suffered from poor placement(direct competitor to survivor-which was new at the time) and lack of support from network.
heethcliff how on earth could they cancel one of the funniest things on TV ever? Brutal.Brutal.Imaginative, creative, brilliant, and awesomely funny, this series, short as it is, is one of the great things I've seen on TV in my short existence on planet earth.Beyond funny most of the time, and sublime in its other moments, it is a great tragedy that this was axed.I feel ashamed as a fellow Aussie (Fox, owned by Rupert Murdoch, axed it) that this was killed off.ouch. it hurts Rupert. please allow it another season or two.come-on dude, you know people, and what they want.Give us some more.maybe the end of the season, and then preferably a season or two after...come-on Mr. Murdoch, do it for the fans...I'm sure there's cash in it...I promise to buy the DVD....
