The Tick, FOX
IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
I've never read the comix on which this was based. But this was a lot better than the live-action series of the same name. The cartoon was just... hysterical and so incredibly absurd and wacky and kinda nuts, and the characters were great... I don't know what I can say. You just have to watch it. The Tick himself is pretty dumb, big and blue, very strong and nigh invulnerable, totally dedicated to fighting evil, and IMO the greatest philosopher of all times. Arthur is an accountant in a moth suit. He's great. Die Fledermaus is kind of like Batman, except that he never does anything and is terribly vain. American Maid is... well, a very competent crime-fighter. Sewer Urchin is the apotheosis of cool. Chairface Chippendale is the best villain; there were other good ones, but I think my second favorite villain is the Fin. What else can I say? I wish I knew.
