If you were a fan of the show when it was on TV, you diffinitly need to get this series. One of my favorite episodes was... "The Tick VS. Justice".

Another great The Tick triumph. Just like the cartoon was a bit different from the comic book line, the live action show was a bit different from the cartoon. It's still great. And honestly, is there anything that Patrick Warburton can't make funny?
Sad, sad world... 5 out of 5 stars.

I won't take up much space explaining how funny and clever this show was. I simply wish to express how sad I am that a show of this caliber was so quickly axed and how poorly our television stations represent our needs as a viewing public. File this one next to Arrested Development and other great shows that were killed by mindless TV execs. Please, Barry Sonnenfeld, bring this show back!
HILARIOUS! Only one season? TOO BAD! 5 out of 5 stars.

Starring Patrick Warburton as you-know-who, and written for his magnificent dead-pan characterizations, this off-beat comedy was just too expensive to produce long enough to see if it would be a hit.
Beware... "The TICK" is off-beat. So if you are strictly the "I Love Lucy" type, this comedy is not for you.

A great show spoiled by a bad DVD release. 3 out of 5 stars.

The Tick is one of my favorite animated television programs. A wonderful and hilarious send-up of the superhero genre, with plenty of both incisive satire and outright silliness. Ben Edlund's comic should be required reading for all superhero comic fans everywhere; and the animated series captures it perfectly. When the DVD was first announced, I was ecstatic.
Then Walt Disney/Buena Vista went and screwed it up. Badly. For starts, as many others have noted, there are missing episodes. Like Season One, this set is also missing an episode. However, unlike the first missing episode, generally regarded as one of the weakest; this one is one of the best espisodes of the series. But enough has been said on this subject by others. There are numerous other weaknesses with this release; which make it seriously disappointing, and rather overpriced.
The biggest is simply the incredibly poor quality of the transfer. Having purchased numerous other DVD releases of old animated programs, I'm astounded at just how bad this transfer is. Even on an ordinary analog television, the low resolution and high level of compression artifacts is painfully obvious. It almost looks like they created the DVD, not from the original sources, but from some of the pre-DVD videos that have been floating around the Internet for years. The sound transfer isn't much better, and is rendered flat and lifeless, although without obvious artifacts.
There are no extras to speak of, and it appears that they instead used all the space saved by the low-bitrate transfer to cram in a lot of extra advertisements that are extremely annoying to have to forward past to get to the show.
If it wasn't for the fact that this is likely to be the only offering of The Tick on DVD, and if The Tick wasn't as great a show as it is, I'd say don't bother with it.

SPOOOOOOON! 4 out of 5 stars.

I was also disappointed that this dvd ommitted an episode. Last year I had purchased a Helios up converter dvd player that plays all regions. (or should I say it is a region free player?)
I'm happy to say that the UK version of this title has ALL 13 episodes!!!
There are no extras, the set is quite plain, but at least I have them all on disc. I've already pre-ordered season 2, which ALSO has ALL 13 episodes from that season. It seems there are quite a few UK released movies that have 2 disc sets, more features, extras, etc. Even alternate endings that we DON'T get in the States! I still buy US versions in most cases, but Amazon UK is worth checking out.
As Usual, The Tick Wins 5 out of 5 stars.

Season One proved to be no challenge to the nigh invulnerable Tick. Justice is served. The world is safe. He is... The Tick.
