The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the spooooooooooooon dept.

abde writes "The Tick finally premieres this Thursday on FOX at 7:30 PM CST. Looks like Patrick Warburton finally gets to spread some creamy Justice on our toast!" Here's hoping that this show comes close to it's source materials. It's in a tough time slot, so I really hope it sticks around long enough to find a footing. Good luck to you Ben (I know you're reading!) In other TV news, Salon reviewed The buffy musical which aired on tuesday. Since my local basic cable doesn't provide UPN, I haven't seen it. I've been loving FX syndicating what is easily among my favorite shows: hot chicks, sharp humor, and monster killing. It may be the perfect show. I just wish TV was available via FTP.

    The Buffy musical was good...
    ...not because the singers were great (they weren't).
    ...not because the songs were all that good (they weren't).
    ...not because the story was shocking/compelling (it wasn't).
    ...not because of the lesbian sex inference (although that was good).

    The Buffy musical was good because it was different than the rest of the bleak, TV wasteland. I'm sure that brief spark of originality will go completely unnoticed, however, so don't worry.

    Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.

    I'm not sure I want any of Patrick Warburton's "creamy" stuff on my toast...

    Every once in a while I like to masturbate a new word into my vocabulary, even if I don't know what it means.

    Interviewer: "Can you blow up the Earth?"

    The Tick: "EEGAD! I hope not, that's where I keep all my stuff!"
