Spoon!

It's been a long time since I've laughed as hard and as continuously as I did last night between 8:30 and 9:00. Patrick Warburton was funny as David Puddy on Seinfeld, but man oh man, he was the perfect choice to play The Tick.

I loved the first episode. The pacing was spot-on, the costume and set designs were great, and the acting was superb. The show was so side-splittingly funny that I didn't even mind the fact the metamorphosis of Die Fledermaus and American Maid into different characters. If the rest of the show lives up to the pilot, then I know what I'll be doing on Thursday nights from now on.

My single complaint: the actor playing Jimmy Carter constantly hiding his face. If they couldn't find a lookalike, how about a silicone prosthetic mask?
