Line 1: {{work\|wppage=The Tick (2001 TV series)}} ~~{{work}}~~ ~~{{Workstub}}~~ [[File:Tick poster.jpg\|frame]] In 2001, [[~~Fox~~FOX]] attempted to revive the [[Animated Series]] ''[[The Tick (animation)\|The Tick]]'' in a [[Live Action Adaptation\|live action format]] with Patrick "Puddy" Warburton in the title role. American Maid and Die Fliedermaus were [[Exiled From Continuity\|absent due to licensing and rights issues]], being replaced by [[Captain Ersatz\|near-lookalikes]] Captain Liberty and Batmanuel. Although some of the animated show's style and wit was retained, along with different humor, it was too expensive to have [[The Protagonist]]s actually battle evildoers, so the show was often more ''Seinfeld''-in-tights, although did provide some comedic [[Deconstruction\|Deconstructions]]. It was canceled before it could run a whole season. ''Where's the siege?!'' (Probably didn't help anything that the last Episode, ''The Terror'' was scheduled to run on 9/11/2001.) Watch it legally [http://www.crackle.com/c/The_Tick here]. Not to be confused with [[The Tick (2016 TV series)\|the 2016 reboot]]. {{tropelist}} * [[Call Back]]: Batmanuel is referred to as Die Fliedermaus by Destroyo in "The Tick vs The Trial". * [[The Cameo]]: [[Christopher Lloyd]] as Arthur's boss in the first episode. * [[Captain Ersatz]]: All over the place. This series even had them for the major characters of the animated series. * [[Captain Geographic]]: Captain Liberty. Line 17: * [[Expy]]: Since the live action version couldn't get all the rights to characters from the animated version, Die Fledermaus became Bat-Manuel and American Maid became Captain Liberty. * [[Everything's Better with Cows]]: The [[Take Our Word for It\|off-screen]] fifty-foot fire-lactating bovine known as Apocalypse Cow. * [[Evil Old Folks]]: The Terror, a crazy old has-been supervillain who used to be buddies with Stalin. Back in the day he used to be a credible threat; these days, not so much, but he still gives Arthur and The Tick a good go of it. * [[Genius Ditz]]: The Tick may be very, very ditzy in just about everything, but he has shown a certain level of philosophical thought in some cases. Especially so in the second episode, where he learns that everyone (even potatoes) can die, and after thinking about it for about a minute, gives Arthur a motivating speech that ''actually makes sense''. * [[It's All About Me]]: Sure Destroyo tried to nuke The City, but Batmanuel had the right of way, and he should not get higher car insurance because of it. * [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: Really, just look at the Tick's profile (preferably against the Tick-signal). * [[Live Action Adaptation]] * [[Meganekko]]: Arthur's sister Dot * [[No Export for You]]: Finally averted when the live-action version got its UK premiere, in January of 2011. [[Friday Night Death Slot\|At 9PM on a Friday night]]. * [[No Name Given]]: The Tick Line 27 ⟶ 29: * [[Superhero]] * [[Too Good to Last]] * [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]: The Tick fights crime in a city named [[The City]].
