The Tick to be Cancelled

mr.buddylee writes "This is a short write up, but evidently The Tick is going to be cancelled. " There really isn't much there to read except the notice. I'll keep watching until the last episode airs on Jan 24. I enjoyed it even if it was put in a terrifying time slot guaranteeing that nobody saw it. I think if it had a full season to find a footing it would have been a real winner. Ah well, good luck to Ben and his future projects.

Comedy Central?

[Crackerman111]

I wonder if Comedy Central would have any interest in picking the series up. I think the demographics of Comedy Central would be a perfect fit for the show. Oh well, that's just wishful thinking. It was fun to watch while it lasted.

Are you SERIOUS? A fsking TV show being axed makes "News For Nerds Stuff that Matters"?

Meanwhile, whilst the linux communities hard is bleading because of the TV show, Microsoft has just released news that their ECMA c# adn the CLI has been rattified as an international standard. See here for more info.

No wonder Linux still sucks

I think this Tick shit is just one more series that should never have been.

However, what the hell do we do about prime time tv? This is crap!

We need new TV!

It wasn't the worst show of the fall season

Did September 11th kill "That's my Bush"? If so, then Osama bin Laden better watch his back. . .

Since the guy got modded down to a -1, but makes some sense, alot of good posts are getting modded down lately. Disclaimers because 1/2 the people dont understand the post.

Heres his post.

me too!

Of course, a "me too!" post deserves a down-mod. But I also am karma-capped...

I think /. should at least try eliminating down-mod, keep up-mods and add a point or two to the scale. Increase the number of moderators, so the really slimey posts will be spotted quickly.

As it stands, there's too much mod power in the hands of too few people; it should not be possible for one guy to make one other guy disappear! Sure somebody else may up-mod, but how many readers later?

I wouldn't want to see moderation completely go, as a low signal-to-noise ratio also acts as "censorship" to the site as a whole, by making /. entirely unreadable.
