The Tick vs. (12/13 of) Season 1

by Adam, filed in TV on Aug.29, 2006

Oh happy day! The Tick Season 1 is out! I ran out to the store to get my copy. What a great show it was and how I was excited to watch the first season again in it’s entirety!

Looking at the package I had some trouble telling how many episodes were in season 1. I still wanted it I just wondered whether it was a bargain or not because to be honest if it was just 13 episodes for 37.99$ Canadian that’s a pretty crappy deal. Looking through the episode titles on the back I see “Does not contain episode 11”.

Why the God damned hell not?!

Needless to say the DVD remains on the shelf where I found it. I may very well buy it later but 12 episodes for 38$ on it’s own is pretty sub par not to mention the aggravation of knowing I’m missing that one episode. What a debacle of Sailor Moon R ADV boxed set proportions. Okay sorry I take it back nothing could be that bad. Anyway I was just too pissed off so I left it on the shelf and thought I’d look in to what the hell was going on.

Well apparently Internet has known about this for about 3 months now. I get all my relevant news from Powet and they must have missed that one. Oh well. The reasons it seems have something to do with rights. Not sure why. The episode is the one where the Mole people come up from the ground and the one Mole wants to marry the supermodel with a mole on her face like Cindy Crawford has. Now I get that this was a Cindy Crawford parody but I’m sure they don’t pay Batman royaltees for the Die Fledermaus character who’s a rip off of him or Superman for that matter. Bah. Anyway that pisses me off. And maybe that’s not even it but those fat cats at Disney felt while it was okay to rip an episode out of this boxset it wasn’t acceptable to give us an honest explanation of why we’re not getting it.

It’s so God damned easy to do things right. Why the hell do idiots have to make it so damned complicated? Think twice before picking this one up my friends and screw all you Tick fans who say it’s no big deal just so you can justify your purchase. You’re allowed to buy something and still be pissed off about it you know.

What truly annoys me is that low sales will most likely mean we’ll never see any more of this show on DVD. So the best (?) solution is to buy it anyway if you really want it, because otherwise you’ll never have the opportunity to spend even more of your hard earned cash on poorly produced DVD sets.

There are absolutely no extras on these dvds as well. Just 12 of the 13 episodes.

I don’t know for a fact what the rights issue was, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with Marvel’s Mole men society, which Edlund pretty much ripped off and parodied.

Ah. Okay that makes a bit more sense. Still most of the characters in the show are parodies of comic characters of some kind. I don’t see how these ones should be treated any differently.

And our dollar is all that counts. So buy this set and there’s more of a chance they’ll do more. Don’t buy it and we’re making a statement about not liking the cut episode. I think my not buying it on opening day surely makes a difference since they base a lot of their sales numbers on first day as far as I understand…

I bought it today. You look at that cover and you just can’t leave the store without it in your hand.
