Live-Action 'Tick' TV
Series
Ben Edlund's comic book turned
cult favorite Fox Kids animated TV
series, The Tick, looks to be
making a return... as a live-action
prime time TV series. According to
a number of sources, the Fox TV
network has ordered up a new
live-action TV pilot which will be
developed and produced through
Barry Sonnenfeld and Barry
Josephson's production company.
The hoped for half-hour comedy will also be executive
produced by Sonnenfeld and Josephson through Columbia
TriStar Television with an eye on fall 2000.

The Tick is a superhero of sorts who believes he is actually
a really big tick, though he doesn't display any of the
grosser attributes of the real thing. As established in the
animated series, the Tick battles crime in "The City" with his
partner Arthur, an accountant who wears a big moth suit.
The Tick and Arthur share an apartment and battle all sorts
of strange but humorous menaces even as they bump into
other oddball superhero types.

While talking to the Hollywood Reporter about the project,
Barry Sonnenfeld revealed what he found most appealing
about the character, saying, "It just feels incredibly smart
and funny, like Seinfeld. I love how there's this big, hulking
guy walking around the city, yet you'll also see him sitting at
the next table over in a diner or something. It's just quirky."

In addition, the trade reports that the concept has been in
the works for the last year with word that a number of
networks besides Fox interested in taking it on.
