Back from Oblivion ... But Probably Just Visiting

Nestor Carbonell and Liz Vassey in “The Tick”

She’s one of the last people I expected to see with a regular role on TV again, but somehow Liz Vassey has managed to crawl her way back into primetime as “Captain Liberty” on Fox’s The Tick.

More surprising still is that the superhero sitcom, which I fully expected to suck and be yanked after a few episodes, is actually one of the funniest shows on TV right now. (It’ll still be yanked after just a few episodes, of course, since I think I’m probably the only guy out there watching the show, but it’s a great show nonetheless.)
