The Tick
____
 Home/Change Series
This was definitely one of my more favorite Saturday morning cartoon shows in recent years.
"The Tick" premeired in 1994 on Fox Kids and ran for three seasons. The show was written by the Ticks creator Ben Edlund who adapted the cartoon from his independant comics featuring a lot of the same characters that turned up in the show. The animated series was made by Sunbow who was also responsible for the original Transformers and G.I.Joe series of the eighties. I believe "The Tick" was also the last animated series Sunbow did before disbanding.
The series was basically a spoof on modern day Superheroes.Some of the main re-occuring characters were American Maid,Sewer Urchin and Diefladermouse. All three of which are very recognizable parodies of other well known comic book characters.
The cartoon itself was very light hearted and had a lot of comical moments. One re-occuring theme that I plan on continuing here was the episode titles. Most of the episodes were titled "The Tick Vs._____". They just filled in the blank with whatever character or plot device was in the current episode. So I think some of the cel titles would be named appropiately if I did the same here.
After the shows cancelation from Fox "Comedy Central" Started airing late night reruns of it which is why it eventually became a cult hit among fans.
