The first season of The Tick (the original animated version) has just been released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Without a doubt the funniest superhero series ever made. The short-lived (despite the perfectly-cast Patrick Warburton in the lead role) live-action series has been out on DVD for a while and is worth a gander as well, but the gleeful, wacked-out weirdness of the Saturday morning cartoon must be seen to be fully appreciated for the surrealistic masterpiece that it is.
