Trivia
A new Tick suit was created for each episode, constantly improving on the quality and practicality.

Goofs
The contents of the written invitation from The League of Superheroes can be seen as Arthur reads them aloud, and they are completely different from Arthur's spoken words. Additionally, the letter refers to the League of Superheroes as "The Legion".

Quotes
The Tick: Gravity is a harsh mistress.

Alternate versions
An episode entitled "The Terror", which featured Tick and Arthur fighting a 112-year-old villain, was slated to air in the first season, but for some reason it wasn't. (This episode is, however, on the DVD collection)

Connections
Featured in FOX 25th Anniversary Special (2012)

I'm really enjoying this show. Seeing how it is live-action though, it can't go all out in the bizarre the way the animated series easily could. So they seem to be concentrating on more down-to-earth storylines, if that's possible in a show like this, making it a kind of "Seinfeld" with superheros. So far it has been keeping me laughing with its stories of hero-sidekick relations and more adult humor. Patrick Warburton is excellent in the title role. He's bound to shout out "SPOON!" sooner or later, so don't worry about that. The show is very funny and clever, and I'm really hoping it doesn't get abused like the cartoon did, or worse, get axed too early.
