Yes I really mean all of that. "The Tick" has gotta be one of the greatest cartoons ever! Based on Bed Edlund's comic book series of the same name, "The Tick" follows a dumb superhero called The Tick, and his timid sidekick Arthur who protect The City from evil villains. One of these villains is named Chairface Chippendale and his face is (as his name suggests) a chair! Another is Uncle Creamy (voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait) who is an evil living ice cream cone. And there's an evil baker named The Breadmaster. Despite only having 3 seasons and 36 episodes, The Tick has gained a huge cult-following by the people who watched the series on Fox in the '90s.
This show was brilliant. Not only do we have a villain with a chair for a face, a city called "The City", but The Tick's battle-cry is "SPOON!". The writers on this show sure knew how to make one hilarious cartoon. The villains were odd, The Tick was a moron, and the stories were complete parodies of the superhero genre. Why this show was ended so soon I still don't understand. I LOVE this show, and lots of other people did (and still do) too, so why was it ended after only 3 seasons? I guess we'll never know.
"The Tick" was one of the best shows of Fox's sadly extinct Saturday morning and weekday afternoon block "Fox Kids". Truly one of the greatest cartoons ever, with hilarious characters, brilliant writing, great animation, excellent voice acting, and a really cool jazz theme song. Definitely one of the top 10 greatest cartoon shows of all time.
Rating: 10/10 "Amazing"
