The Tick

s0l · 24-04-2003 9:41pm #1

Was on last night (wednesday night/thursday morning) at quarter past one on tv3. Just wondering if anyone knows if they were just showing the pilot or if they've bought the seires.

Fraid I can't answer your question just hoping that they are going to show the series!

What a great cartoon!!

Elmo · 25-04-2003 12:40am

Is the Tick series or the cartoon that they showed?

kaimera · 25-04-2003 11:47pm

Makaveli · 26-04-2003 1:04am

the acting was terrible. i just watched a few m in of it that night. never knew there was a Tick series. Taught it was fairly crap.

it was utter ****e. a quick search of http://www.rteguide.ie/ turns up nothing (this week) *phew*

LizardKing · 28-04-2003 11:12am

Seems that a lot of people felt the same way Karoma cos' it was cancelled after 8 or 9 episodes ...

Did not see it though so I'll hold off on slagging it off ...

tman · 29-04-2003 10:40am

god that sucked!
i don't know why they even tried tbh, the tick isn't something that can be transfered to live action, it belongs in the comic/cartoon world.

Tusky · 29-04-2003 10:41am

I heard good things about it, and its not suposed to be taken seriously :rolleyes:

I don't think its possible for giant blue tick and a man in a moth suit to be taken seriously.
The show was ****

The Tick RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

GoneShootin · 01-05-2003 12:39am

twas indeed rubbish

but you could tell that the writers were from the cartoon series. some of THE TICKS lines were just great

but thats all

although where have i seen the actor who played Deflator Mouse (spelling/name etc :rolleye:) before ?

DiscoStu · 01-05-2003 12:47am

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

that is all.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 01-05-2003 12:49am

the tick cartoon rocked

i can't imagien how a live action version would be any good..

i think he was in suddenly susan, that crappy sitcom with brooke shields

GoneShootin · 01-05-2003 10:22am

thats it exactly tman !! thank you

not much of a career change for him then

TomTom · 03-05-2003 12:58am

It was ok, though some of it was very funny. Prob was not on this week due to the match (futurama ain't on either). Hope they show a series, nice to have something on late at night that I want to watch. Despite it be good or bad.

DMT · 03-05-2003 3:46pm

Why does TV3 always buy TV shows that have already been axed?*

(* This could have a thread of it's own.)

TomTom · 03-05-2003 5:36pm

Beacuse they are probably cheap as hell.

Elmo · 14-05-2003 2:03pm

The worst show on the TV. thank god the saw sence after a couple of episode, the actors will never live it down.

The cartoon was good, what happened.

Sadly his career is over. Death upon entering tv studio.

Ivan · 14-05-2003 2:22pm

It was on again last night (Tuesday 13th May) at like 2 o'clock on Tv3.

Wasnt nearly as good as the first episode, which I thought was amazingly funny.

Any

tman · 14-05-2003 3:23pm

i thought last nights episode was much better than the pilot... "retain that anus!":D

Dont be at yourself · 15-05-2003 8:31pm

Argh, I fecking missed it again!

Bicky · 20-05-2003 1:02am

Its on right now. 1 oclock on tv3.
For what it is worth the first ep had me in stitches.
The charachters are great and the ticks one liner are class.

Btw the tick is the voice behind joe (BRING IT ON) from family guy

Bicky · 20-05-2003 1:33am

lol.. some bits of that episode was great.
I especially like when the tick found arthur in the straight jacket and says "My god they have sent you back to the cocoon."
And the tick talking to the toilets. lol. when left in the room he turns to the toilet and says "how you doing?" lol had me in stitches.
As for it being cancelled, has anyone seen Action with jay mohr? A great watch, compelling and funny but it was cancelled after 8 or 9 episodes. Guess its just not what the test audiences want

it's something RTE often did in the past. Automan, Manimal and City News are three that come to mind. I guess they were cheap.

Saw some of it tonight. Have to say I laughed heartily when yer man was running around dressed like a moth to the theme from the Greatest American Hero.

Elmo · 20-05-2003 1:09pm

Sometimes shows that only get one series are quite good

Family Guy
Bob the devil and God
Freaks and Geeks

Ok so thats about all of them.
