Has anyone seen ‘The Tick’ (live action) series yet?
Interesting comments.
The show hasn’t aired in the UK yet, but I managed to see the ‘not for air’ premier episode.
It seemed to be based on the first episode of the cartoon series (‘The Tick meets the Idea men’ …. but without the idea men [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
I liked the show but it seemed to make me miss the cartoon series more. I managed to find a few of the cartoon episodes on the net and am now in the process of converting them to VCD.
I think the comic books were wonderful (especially the first 11), the first live action show was gret, but the cartoon (especially the voices) and the imaculate writing of Ben Edlund (the creator and the only one who could make the Tick come out with his legendary Tickisms)… erm… was one of the best things I’ve seen on TV.
Fave quote (and I hope they put this in the Live Action Show) was, @On tructh and Justice there can be no price…. But there [i][b]are[/b][/i] established credit limits.
That was my signiture for emails for about two years.
There are loads of them:
“Honk if you love justice”
“SPOOOOOOOON!”
“Gravity is a harsh mistress.”
“You’re not going crazy, you’re going sane in a crazy world!”
And the stupendous,
“Well, once again my friend, we find that science is a two-headed beast. One head is nice, it gives us aspirin and other modern conveniences,…but the other head of science is bad! Oh beware the other head of science, Arthur, it bites!”
Or what about that episode when the Tick fights a monster cloned from his own nasal fluid/mucus,
“So foul gelatin, you would do battle with the nose of your birth?”
or
“Mucal invader, is there no end to your oozing?!”
Trillian: I think the Tick episode with the tongue was “The Tick vs Science” [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
My fave episode was, “That Moustache Feeling”, seeing the Tick attacked by his beloved moustache was just the funniest! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
