It’s amazing to hear how modern the dialogue of this show was.

[@vidbitclip]

Way ahead of its time.

[@francis-kp9cw]

I love that TV show

[@son_60han]

I thought that bullet man ended destroying the dam 😂

[@reneastorgaterre1954]

I bet The Tick would survive Homelander out of pure comedic purpose, and then drive him insane with his inspirational speeches, so much so he would fly himself to the sun to escape him.

[@alanu4637]

For sure, The Tick can’t be killed.

[@vidbitclip]

It does beg the question, is the tick truly indestructible? He does lose his arms...that episode will be uploading soon :)

[@alanu4637]

@@vidbitclip he says himself that he’s nigh invulnerable so he is almost invincible but not entirely.

Thank you for posting this. Great memories.

[@vidbitclip]

Hope they don't take it down, I was shocked when there was no copyright issues.

[@phredphlintstone6455]

This looks like a jod for Captain Someone Else!!!

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

I remember that 20th Television was at the end (on VHS releases in America, most notably.)

[@vidbitclip]

Yeah, owned by Disney since 2001...they haven't done anything with it. KZbin says no copyright violation, so I will keep posting.

[@jimmyguitar2933]

The Patrick Warburton version was better. At least it was occassionally funny. This? Not so much.

[@vidbitclip]

I disagree, but ONLY because that series never had a chance. If it had been able to have a second season, I believe it would have been superior.

[@williamgmeniano5744]

Classic, straight from my childhood.

[@vernturnquist6729]

This episode is like Hamlet chock full of quotes

[@D.Avis-gh5wq]

I had forgotten just how Awesome this show was. I gotta get some cereal, this may turn into a all day thing. 😊

[@vidbitclip]

And somehow, it was never replicated. Based on the live action versions...clearly the best medium is animation. BRING IT BACK!

[@D.Avis-gh5wq]

@vidbitclip I agree. Animation is expensive But alot of folks including myself would watch if it were available.

[@travismclaurin9419]

I love the theme song. Hilarious and the ending of it is mysterious with the Monk like hymn chorus.

[@GodenClark]

Such an interesting cartoon 😎

[@lovethemack]

one of the best of its era. Tick sadly would get very bad live version and then a decent live version but this was peak. Midnight bomber what bombs as midnight lol

[@vidbitclip]

They did not do enough with the Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight...it was always hilarious when he jumped into the ring

[@thekillerpandas]

Reno. That explains a lot.

Rive Droite saving and loan. "The Right Bank for You" 🤣

[@rogergregg616]

Loved this series! Used to watch it my son years ago. Brilliant!!

[@vidbitclip]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thehellyousay]

i often wonder who figured out The City was where the superhero council sent the "hockey helmet special" superheroes so they wouldn't screw the system up ...

[@vidbitclip]

Whomever it is, they are holed up in Reno. What does that entity know about Reno we don't know?
