"In series premiere news, Fox's The Tick (5.2/ 7) at 8:30 p.m. got more sampling than expected with growth of 44 percent over its weak Family Guy lead-in (season premiere, 3.6/ 5). Among adults 18-49, The Tick was up by a healthy 27 percent (2.6/ 7 to 3.3/ 8)."
That's no good.

No one's to blame but Fox....they moved the day and time from Wed @ 9:30 to Thurs. @ 8:00 with very minimal advertising.
They out FG on opposite survivor africa and the friends hour. how stupid is this?? if i didnt know better, i would say that fox has a hidden agenda, it doesnt seem as if they want it to stay on by moving it so damn much.

It's an agenda that doesn't make sense. They CANCELLED the show second season, then un-cancelled it and payed for a 3rd season. Why pay for something that can EASILY succeed and get good ratings on ANY NIGHT other than Thursday w/ a little advertising push, and then treat it like shit....

Duh. It was up against friends and a very much hyped eps of survivor. I swear fox is trying to fail with this show.

Yes. Also, the Tick got better exposure in advertising, and it went against a repeat of Will & Grace as well. Family Guy got Friends (new episode).
