I'm 24 years old and I just recently finished watching the entire Tick Animated Series for the first time. I remember vaguely being intrigued by the Tick show when it was airing on Fox Kids (I was about 5), but for some reason my mom didn't think it was appropriate and I wasn't really allowed to watch it. That was probably for the best, because I really do think this show is wasted on children. So many of the references and jokes would go over their heads.
Anyway, about the show. It is absolutely hilarious! All 36 episodes are great, even the couple of mediocre ones still have some really funny parts that make them worth watching. If you like superheroes at all, or even if you don't, you need to check this out. This show really spoofs so many popular superheroes, as well as the whole genre in general, and it is done in a very witty and intelligent way. The episodes are really well written, with extremely creative dialogue, especially from the Tick that will have you rolling (or at least, grinning from ear to ear)!
If you didn't watch this show when it originally aired, check it out! If you did watch it when it first aired, but you were under the age of 18, check it out again! I guarantee you will find it even funnier than you remember.
Note: The show has been released on DVD, however the releases available are poor quality and are not complete with every episode. I was able to find the complete series on Blu-ray disc from eBay and the quality is fantastic!
