> half the fun of the animated series was making fun of the other animated series (you can't tell me american maid was not a direct shot at wonderwoman). . . i think they'll lose that aspect in a live action version :P

Well, originaly it was a comic book makeing fun of other comic books, the animated series was just the animated version of the same. I'm more worried about how it will look. Can they make a real guy look like the Tick and have it not look terriable?
