SPOOOON!
The amazing and stupendous Tick is returning to video. Sort of...Patrick Warburton is reprising his live action role as everyone's favorite big blue avenger at least one more time. More then one more time? That my friends is totally up to us.
Amazon video has bought the rights to make a pilot episode for their video service. One episode. One chance at Tick greatness. If we watch it, if we like it then Amazon will pick up The Tick in all it's giant blue goodness and create new episodes. The Tick has one more chance at greatness.
C'mon Fox! How could you cancel this face?
The Tick was not given a fair shake in his last outing. 13 episodes? C'mon Fox.
It's not like Fox ever had a stellar record with Sci/Fi or Comic Based shows anyway. I'm still mad about them cancelling the original Tick cartoon, not to mention Firefly, Brimstone, Strange Luck, Almost Human, Terra Nova, VR5, Sliders and many more.
Don't know yet if these guys are coming with him. Gotta hope for some Batmanuel
The even cancelled Family Guy once. If you are pitching Sci/Fi, especially something clever and well written, please don't go to Fox!
Fox never understood what it had with The Tick. I have personally been a fan since his original comic book incarnations. I can't wait to see what Amazon does with him. It's been a long time coming.
Oh, and for those who missed it, be sure and check out Ted 2 to see a "version" of Patrick Warburton as the Tick at Comicon (uh'm sort of).
And until we get our Tick back... here is some cool Tick swag to tide us over.
