The Tick is on Toon Disney.
As someone posted before, it will also be on ABC Family starting this Sunday at 11 am. Looks like it will be a weekly screening of the show and not a daily.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Emily, if you're still around, could you jump on AIM for a second?

I'm very excited about the Tick on TV again, even though I've already got my set of bootleg DVDs.
P-C, your parents believe you could become a Ph.D. It's not that they don't believe in you - they obviously have a lot of faith in your abilities. They just don't understand your choice. Which is pretty consistent with their attitude about marriage too.
They have Strongly Held Opinions which reflect their culture and upbringing. Your expectations about your life were shaped very differently. It's not really personal at all. It's the alltime classic American culture clash between generations.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Anniversary, Connie!

Complicated by a genuine clash of the cultures.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
and probably some lingering caste bias

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The annoying thing is no matter what happens now, I can't go back and get a Ph.D. I can't give them that victory, fulfill that "I told you so." Stupid sexy life-changing decisions.
Congrats, LJ!

You could get a Ph.D. in Sexology. That'd flip 'em out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just as you shouldn't let your parents force you to do a PhD, you shouldn't let them prevent you from doing one, if you want it. Otherwise they're still controlling you.

Thrive to spite them
PC, my Mom went a bit crazy when she heard my brother was planning to go to New Zealand to study Outdoor Education.
Even though my brother had done the same thing for the past 5 yrs and earned a nice living and was well liked by his employers Mom still kept saying "But what's he going to do! He'll get this degree and won't be able to get a job and then he'll starve!"
It seriously freaked her out becuase it's so different from anything my brother ever expressed doing and it was something out side her comfort zone. Finally after reminding her about my brother's job (at the time) and that he had skills she stopped flipping out. But it took months. And I think she still has these panics but she doesn't mention them.
