I remember that from nickelodeon (does that even exist now?) and I really liked it The white-fly dude was so gay haha

did you ever watch the live action tv show?

 

[Dogmatic187]

YES! I didn't like the live action show as much as the cartoon, the cartoon was indeed genius.

did you ever watch the live action tv show?

I watched some of it on Youtube. I love Patrick Warburton, and he was the perfect Tick, but it just didn't translate well. They didn't have a big enough budget to pull it off really.

I used to watch this show, it filled in for a series break for Ren & Stimpy at one point, I also remember Rocko's Modern Life fill the slot during a series break. All 3 rocked.

Illuminattile, I take it you remember The Tick from this era, Im pretty sure all 3 were shown on BBC2, I know it has to be a terrestrial channel as a I didnt have Sky until I moved out of military housing. Can you confirm this?

 

[Illuminattile]

I remember they were on slightly too early, I'd get home from school and I'd be annoyed that I'd missed some of it. I think it was on CITV, but I don't really know. Certainly could have been on both.

thoses shows were too adult orientated for CITV, you know when BBC2 had its 6pm Simpsons slot? That took over from those shows, im sure.
