S1E1: The Tick (2001)

The Tick originally started out as a newsletter mascot for a chain of comic book stores in the Boston area named, New England Comics. The mascot then became the subject of his own comic book. The comics popularity got The Tick his own animated series. After 3 successful seasons on FOX the main writers of the animated show developed a live action adaptation of The Tick casting Patrick Warburton in the lead role. Despite all the momentum leading to the creation of the show, the 2001 series only had 8 of its 9 episodes make it to air before being canceled. There has been a lot of speculation as to why this show failed, whether it be the time slot, or support from the network. Now the S1E1 crew deep dive the Pilot episode and decide for ourselves if this show deserved a longer run.
