Amazon is said to be interested in reviving The Tick, the unabashedly costumed crimefighter played by Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld, Rules of Engagement), a source tells People.com.
Per People.com, Ben Edlund — author of the comic book series that birthed The Tick, and who also had a hand in the Fox series — will pen and produce the comeback, with Warburton back in the title role.
Amazon did not immediately respond to TVLine’s request for comment on the report.

The Tick would be brought back as a test pilot which, per Amazon's current model for greenlighting new shows, would be judged by Amazon customers.

Never liked The Tick anyway. It always just felt so...stupid.
ReplyDeleteinteresting as I found the cartoon hilarious... the live action show was pretty funny as I recall but not quite to the level of the cartoon for me
ReplyDeleteI get that Amazon is fighting Netflix, but this seems like a waste of resources.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Loved the cartoon. But the live action show missed something in the comedic energy.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the live action version of The Tick quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I'm not sure I needed more of it...
Well if they can get Nestor Carbonell back as Batmanuel and Liz Vassey back as Captain Liberty it would have the same chemistry as before at least...
