Tick season two... missin' an episode again!

Together Alone, one of the best episodes of that season was left off. Not only was it a turning point in the series (at least in the case of the CHA emblazoned on the moon), but unlike the last season set missing episode, it was a great episode....

That said? I'm still getting this thing and hoping someone puts the missing epiosde on Youtube or something....

That's stupid if it was okay to MAKE it back then it should be okay to put it on a DVD now.

If it is Marvel, then Marvel is petty. They can afford to wipe their asses with their money I don't see why they'd get all booty tickled over a spoof.

They are protected by parody law, after all. If that wasn't the case, they would have to have edited every appearance of Die Fleddermaus and redubbed the voice of Sewer Urchin to sound less like Rainman.

it is a shame... after all, Omnipotous is the ONLY character for the Tick Karma Tornado series that was animated....

Poor Hurricane Betty.....

I don't think that's the reason... maybe it's more convienient to just release 12 out of 13 episodes....

Disney is releasing these box sets correct? If so doesn't suprise me one bit you saw what they did to Muppet show Seaosn 1.
I've very excited about season 2 finally coming out but I can't say I'm not worried because I'm sure they didnt put everything on it again.

I would normally rag against Disney, too, but to be fair, Disney did its best to acquire all of the necessary rights so that the Muppet Show could be as complete as possible. It just ended up that certain rights holders wouldn't give them the rights at ANY price. It sucks, but unfortunately it's a common fate for shows with a lot of musical content. Many Muppet projects have fallen victim to this over the years.

It wouldn't surprise me if Omnipotus looking too much like Galactus is why Disney omitted the episode. They left "The Tick vs the Mole Men" out of the season 1 set because it had a character who looked too much like Cindy Crawford and they were afraid they'd be sued.

And I feel sorry for the Muppet Show. Music rights are a bitch. That's why it took 16 years to get Heavy Metal on home video.

It also has to do with the holders of the Music refusing to let them use it... most of the time, the music rights get bought up by miserly imbeciles that want to make money without actually doing anything.

But seriously... as I said, they are protected by parody law. Making a character that looks and sounds like someone to make fun of them or spoof them in any way isn't cashing in off the likeness,...


But that's one of the theories that Dr. Slump can never get translated over here... because of this little guy named Suppa man



But then again, you can't make a killing off of Arale toys, so it's a flop with kids... and there's not enough bloodletting, so it's a flop with the so called Anime fans.

Well, in regards to Suppa Man, they actually airred the Dr. Slump/Dragonball crossover episode featuring him (they even included a clip of him in the commercials promoting Dragonball back when it was on Toonami). But maybe they figured they could get away with it because it was just a one-time thing as far as Dragonball goes.

That's something I didn't know... they aired them. I thought they just had the episodes on DVD and only on DVD.... that's a new wrinkle. Maybe they just can't sell Dr. Slump cuz it's not toyetic enough.

That said, I wonder what episode will randomly be "misplaced" on season 3,.....

BETTER the shell not be Mustache Fever, cuz of the Nick Rave (or whatever his name is) take off...
