The Tick DVD Season one

The tick, what can you say, great lil show, with such violence, such humor, and well overall saturday morning goodness.

The episodes include: The Tick Vs. The Idea men, Chairface Chippendale, Dinosaur Neil, Mr. Mental, The Breadmaster, El Seed, The Tick, The Uncommon Cold, Brainchild, Pineapple Pokopo, The Proto-Clown, Arthur's Bank Account. Thats 12 fantastic episodes, plus, a special edition post card included in the box. You can't beat that, now if only the show had more appeal.

Like so many other shows, Invader Zim, Futurama, Dr. Katz, they tend to get eliminated and appreciated later for their genius. The genius of the Tick, is in its creation of a small world revolving around itself. What appeals us to shows like the Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, is that they get us wrapped up in the world that they created. Arlen Texas is real, but Hank Hills Arlen Texas, is just so much better. Springfield and its characters are etched in our mind. Its ridiculous how much we know about the Simpsons, even though we are not fans, or if we are, and how much more we don't know.

Best episodes from this DVD include, Dinosaur Neil, The Tick, and Arthur's Bank Account. Personal faves, you will enjoy the level of vocabulary, geo political situations, and society and its criminal masterminds. The comical genius of a criminal, versus the criminal evility they posses. Think about it, being outside the law, and operating as an agent against the law, takes a deep level of psychosis, and we all now that crazy people are funny.

American Maid, Arthur, and the other superheroes that make up the Tick's world, are just too fun. A great congolmeration of characters. Very well done show.

Ah well, that will be all for now, but I must say that WATCH the TICK today, and enjoy the feeling of a saturday morning, if its evening, pretend its a friday night and there is nothing else on TBS Superstation.

enjoy
