I waited anxiously for the debut of the live-action treatment of the tick, wondering how it would stack up against the comic and the animated series (one of the funniest cartoons ever produced!). While it has the same quirky, campy feel and basically the same outlandish characters, it doesn't completely work with live actors. They seemed self-conscious and holding back a little in contrast to Adam West and Dean Cain who played their roles to the fullest. Perhaps in time this cast will loosen up get into it a little more. Patrick Warburton in the title role especially needs to play it much bigger and with more gusto if this series is to make it.
