Tick animated DVD, minus an episode?
TV Squad reports that the upcoming animated Tick series DVD will be missing an episode from the first season:
Well, the DVD is coming out on August 29, but with only twelve of the original thirteen episodes from the first season. Why the missing episode? Well, as it turns out a band of leprechauns stole the only copy of that episode and sent it through a wormhole in time and space where it ... okay, I have no idea. Actually, no one really knows at this point, at least no one who's talking, though TVShowsOnDVD mentions "legal issues."
Hmmmm ... "legal issues." Let the speculation begin.
UPDATE: Matthew let us know that an update was posted today, and the missing episode is "The Tick vs. the Mole Men." Mole Men, Mole Men, Mole Man ... where have I heard that name before?

TVshowsondvd.com had a further update today, in which they revealed that the missing episode was 'The Tick vs. the Mole Men', and it was being left off for... I forget what they said. Creative reasons, or story reasons, or something. Whatever *that* means. They also said they hoped to include that episode in future collections.
I have to say I don't understand what the deal is. Why not just release the whole series? What's stopping them? 'Sports Night' was released as the whole series, and it had a longer run than 'The Tick'.
I had thought the missing episode would be 'The Tick vs. the Idea Men' because of the obviously-Superman guy who appeared briefly, but I guess not.
It was probably a lawsuit brought by Mindy Moleford.
