This week is Sleeperdisc TV Sweeps Week! And today, Deuce dips into the mighty Grab Movies catalog and recommends a TV series that may have slipped your notice.

Today's Sweeps Week Selection: The Tick

Sticky pink devil! Who puts gum on a rooftop??

There's a ridiculousness about comic book adaptations in that comic book superheroes in real life seem... well, ridiculous. Spandex oufits, strange speeches in expositional format, and bizarre priorities. Few adaptations fully illustrate this as hilariously as The Tick. The comic itself is a send-up of comic book cliches, and Patrick Warburton ("Puddy" from Seinfeld) is absolute perfection as the dim-witted, stern-jawed and immensely powerful Tick.

The Tick is a defender of justice against the naughty people of the city, and has the rudimentary intelligence of a dog. A slow dog. A big, blue, 300lb, bulletproof slow dog. He means well, but he has no idea that perhaps a giant blue-skinned superhero might cause a ruckus in the grocery store, wrestling the evil out of the cereal aisle. And god help if you try to explain oat bran isn't evil, just... unpleasant.

Arthur, his reluctant partner, is a former accountant that's decided to become a crime-fighting moth, desperately tries to balance his introduction to dispensing justice with other cataclysmic events such as... dating. Or coming "out" to his family (a hilarious parallel.) And of course, the Tick is no help whatsoever. How could he be? Why should he let something like "common sense" and "tact" interfere with his relentless pursuit of justice?

The Tick is a hilarious send-up of every superhero you've ever liked, disliked or even just heard about. How can you not laugh at a superhero with a battlecry of "Spoon"?

That's today's recommendation. Keep coming back this week for more Sleeperdisc Sweeps Week selections.
