Customer Reviews of The Tick Vs. Season Two
The Tick vs. Buena Vista My only hesitation in strongly recommending every season of the Tick is the possibility that Buena Vista is deleting episodes from each season for the simple reason that they want to release a "complete series" box set after they are done with the seasons -- and they want to be sure that true fans will buy it all again by holding a few episodes back. This possibility presents itself because the seasons are available (or will soon be available) in the UK from a different distributor with no episodes missing, which might mean that Buena Vista is not being forthcoming with the truth behind the missing episodes here in the US. Despite the possible evil, it still makes the most sense to buy this US edition, even if it is missing one of the key episodes.
An astounding season for an astounding cartoon show
I can still remember the day that my best friend introduced me to this cartoon show. I was amazed. At the age of fifteen, I had no idea how much brilliance could be packed into 22 minutes of animation until I saw The Tick. Season one was fantastic but by the time Little Wooden Boy and The Belly of Love aired as the season 2 premiere, I was completely hooked...and sore from laughing.

>While the quality of the animation hints at the show's low budget, it is completely effective and enjoyable to look at. It has a warm and quaint hand-drawn quality that is sorely missing from today's CG aided shows.

<
>The characters in this show are absolutely marvelous. Some are clever satires, others are utterly and hilariously original. The voicework by Coleman and others is absolutely top notch.

<
>The lack of Alone Together is indeed a sad thing for this set. Unlike the Mindy Moleford episode that was omitted from the season 1 set, this episode was one of the best and an essential piece of Tick history.
<
>It would also be nice if the publishers would see fit to have more special features...but as all Tick fans know, we should feel lucky to be getting episodes on DVD at all. We'll probably never see anything better.

<
>I considered knocking a star off of my rating for this set (because of the sorely missing episode and lack of features) but the show is just so devastatingly wonderful, I couldn't make myself do it. It really deserves 5 stars.

Good for fans, but more odd than interesting
Looking for something different for your kids? This probably isn't it. Though more clever than the cartoons in [[ASIN:B000FS9MVK The Tick Vs. Season One]], the twelve episodes in this set still suffer from poor pacing and limp storytelling. Edited down to 7-minute cartoons they'd be great, but as 21-minute programs they really drag. And that's a shame, because with better writers this odd, witty series could have had a timeless appeal. Back in the mid-1990s "The Tick" aired for three seasons on the Fox Kids Network. It had the potential to last a lot longer.

<
>At least that's my take. But to be fair, if you liked Season One you'll love Season Two. The 1995-1996 season of "The TIck" is probably the show's best, as the premise is still fresh but the characters are fully developed and the storylines wackier than ever. One episode features the villainous Ottoman Empress controlling an army of furniture. Another is a Christmas show.

<
>On a different note, watching this set I couldn't help but think that many Disney creative-types must have been fans. Its premise -- that superheroes are real people -- showed up a decade later in [[ASIN:B00005JN4W The Incredibles (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)]] and a gag in the episode "Heroes" seems to have inspired the Walt Disney World attraction Sounds Dangerous.

<
>Want something even stranger? Try the live-action version ([[ASIN:B0000AUHQE The Tick - The Entire Series]]), a short-lived (nine episode) Fox series starring Patrick Warburton. It's REALLY out there.
