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.

    Tick won't be able to say "Spoooooon!".
    None of the old villians will be present.

    All because of some fucked up copyright stuff.

    oh, and Speak won't be there, either.

    More information can be found here. (http://slate.msn.com/?id=2058205) for the goat paranoid)

    Even without those things, I'm still excited about dorking out, and I think that putty is an excellent choice for the Tick.

  2. Ratings Won't Be High by Angry+Black+Man · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Unfortunately the ratings will be decimated by Survivor tonight. Fortunately for Fox, there are a lot of hardcore fans and the creator of the show needs a thing or two about sci-fi comedy.

    Here is the main cast list if you're interested...

    David Burke is Arthur
    Liz Vassey is Captain Liberty
    Nestor Carbonell is Batmanuel

    and of course the Tick is played by Warburton (as mentioned in the post).

    The president is speaking tonight. 25 minute speech followed by the standard 5 minute talking head wrap up. Don't know if Fox carries national news in your area but they do in mine (Chicago).

    Now my VCR and Tivo settings are all fucked up.

    Poo.
