Watched the pilot last night. It is basically an Arthur origin story. I liked that they included his sister Dot (though she is quite different from her animated persona), and I somehow doubt Dinosaur Neil will make an appearance...At one point I almost thought, they way they were setting things up, that The Tick might be a delusional character made up in Arthur's mind, especially with the flashbacks, but at the end when The Tick went solo to take out the bad guys at the dock, all that was put to rest. He had some pretty funny one liners, and some monologues evocative of the series, even an almost shot-for-shot recap of The Ticks first time in Arthur's apartment (looking for the secret HQ entrance etc..) . As a father though...I wasn't big on all the cursing. I wanted to watch this with my kids as they love the animated series...but I had to wait until after they were in bed to finish it. Not sure why this series has to be rated TV-14, neither the original comics, nor the animated series needed to include adult language, it adds nothing to the story.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
