Yeah, it’s gone. It just couldn’t hold it’s own against Smallville and 24. It was scoring like a 1.8 in the ratings, (compared to its lead-in BtVS which averages 3.8)

I was a big fan of this show,but honestly it should have been cancelled sooner.

Somewhere in the second season it appears the writing staff was replaced with crack smoking chimps.

I am one of the few that thought that the Tick was one of the best laughs on Fox? I liked their lame attempt at having cartoon superheroes played by live actors, especially Patrick Warburton. He does clueless better than anyone. Vince

**FAMILY GUY** (but I have all the episodes on CD-ROMS, even the unaired “When You Wish Upon Weinstein”  
**GREG THE BUNNY**

IMO, those two show could have become what the Simpsons has become, given the chance.

also

**The Tick**  
**Futurama**

In the world of game shows, I wish that they’d bring back Match Game. I can’t believe that after trying to revive it in 1990 it went away agin. It’s a great show. They could have back regulars Charles Nelson Reily and…Bret Summers if she’s still alive. Or not.  
Also, I miss Comedy Central’s Make Me Laugh. It was pretty good.
