So, Does everyone love this show or what? I'm a little concerned about its staying power because it is so obscure and Fox keeps switching the times.

It was a cartoon, and I liked that fine.

I'm worried about the show myself. It's funny as hell, but they've changed some things (upsetting the potential comic geek audience) and they won't give it a consistent time, thus confusing the hell out of everyone else.

They need to keep sticking it with The Bernie Mac Show. Now that's comedy.

SPOOOOOOOOON
The Tick has a following of men between the ages of 18 and 30. tough group to keep on the TV for just a cartoon.

I'm so-so on it. The character of the Tick is a bit too dumb instead of dim and aside from the changes FJ mentioned (which have everything to do with being PC), it's not that bad but a little too sitcomish for my tastes.

How they're going to do Chairface Chippendale is beyond me, however.

Does anybody notice the lack of Ben Edlund's name in the credits? I mean, he was the creator..that can't be a good sign.

I'm assuming it's copywrite issues. I hear that's why the changes were made. The only characters names they could use were The Tick, and Arthur.
