This is a present just waiting to happen, for those of us who enjoy satire and August 29 birthdays.
The Tick, the first season, minus one episode, release date: August 29.
I haven't seen this cartoon in many years. I'm hoping the laughs in my memory are high-fidelity memories, not echoes of something more modest. (I just finished watching the first season of Wild Wild West on DVD -- I enjoyed it, but it didn't have the same punch I remember from watching it as a kid...probably because I'm taller now, and the same dizzying blow to the head -- the music, the gadgets, the cliffhanger endings -- now connects with my gut, where old memories eventually settle in a nostalgic soup.)
