Welcome to the season premiere after The Simpsons starting at 8, 7 Central Fox Sunday.
The premiere of Temptation 2 continues in 30 minutes.
Now, heavens to Betsy, it's The Tick on Fox.
The life of a superhero is a lonely one filled with hardship and danger.
The few who answer the call must leave comfort, safety and often sanity behind.
But someone's gotta stand the heat and stay in the kitchen.
Someone's gotta don...
Hey, a bus.
He still there?
Yep.
He stands in silence, stoic, godlike.
The mysterious Blue Avenger who has become legend to the simple folk of this bus station.
But glory will not distract him from his vigil.
Come on. Come on, come on.
Metal fiend.
Stand back, citizen.
So, Vending Manus, we meet again.
Is this your old thingy?
I'm a little bit of a bandit.
Empty your bladder of that bitter black urine men call coffee!
It has its price and that price has been paid!
Java Devil, you are now my bitch.
Well, here you are, weary traveler, one steaming hot cup of justice.
No need to thank me. It's my sworn duty to defend this bus station against the ravages of evil.
Uh, you dropped this.
Hey.
A bus ticket, apparently. I intended to go to the
city. Why?
Well, it looks to me like you finally freed us from the tyranny of the coffee machine.
So, perhaps my work here is done.
Perhaps it's time that I moved on to a place where there's...
Stuff to do.
Stuff to do.
Stuff to do.
Well, goodbye, grateful bus station man.
You don't know what you'll do without me, but you'll have to do it.
You don't know what you'll do without me, but shed no tears.
Goodbye, fluffy pimply tea.
I think you're ready now to hear the truth.
This wasn't really a magic hubcap. The magic was inside you all along.
Huh.
Well, destiny honks the horn and gotta go. To the city!
Who was that blue stranger?
He was...the tick.
In a place where the thrill is all that matters, Rick Rambis and his friends are the best of the best.
Yeah!
They know what they want.
Guys, if this is gonna be it, let's make it count.
And they're always wrong.
I'm gonna put him in Rick's car.
To push things over the edge.
I got it!
Woo!
Out cold, rated PG-13, on November 21st, the competition is on.
Dear Kurt, how's training camp? Are you getting along with the other boys?
Stop! I'm doing it again!
This new chunky soup will fill you up right after a fun-filled day.
No, no, no!
The rib roast with potatoes is loaded with lean chunks of savory rib roast for a taste of home while you're away.
Wait, sir!
I miss you, pumpkin. Love, Mom.
You all right, Kurt?
Yeah, I'm okay.
New Campbell's Chunky Homestyle Classics.
Like Mom used to make.
Okay, Vegas. Austin. Tulsa. Vegas, honey.
Yuma. And Austin.
Straws Kids.
Painting, huh?
Say, Mom, Dad wants to know what you're doing.
Tell him nothing until he apologizes to me.
Mom said no dinner until you apologize.
Forget it. She'll need the apology.
Dad says he's really sorry. He wants to take us to McDonald's to make up for it.
He said that?
Yeah. Mom says you were right. She thinks we should go to McDonald's.
Really?
I'm sorry.
Please go to McDonald's now.
Sir, I'm sure the human resources can handle this. No need for you.
A man's life is at stake, Mr. Ferren. I'm taking this pulled by the horns personally.
Good Lord, I'm too late.
Mr. Fishlatter.
Arthur, it is still Arthur, isn't it?
Arthur, my time is worth $17 a second.
I want an explanation, and I want it to cost less than $1,500.
Go.
Oh, well, it's hard to explain.
$51.
Mr. Fishlatter, I have been living a lie.
I'm more than just a mild-mannered accountant.
Now I do good work for this firm, and I value my job.
It's just my entire life has become nothing but numbers and deductions and IRAs.
$255.
Granted, I've been doing my parents' tax returns since I was six,
but even then I knew I had a higher calling. I can't hide from it any longer.
I... Don't say it.
I am going to become a superhero.
You know, part-time at first.
Christ in heaven! Look at yourself.
You're built like a sensible shoe. You shouldn't be jumping around town in a body sock fighting crime.
Well, I haven't actually fought any crime yet.
Good! Keep it that way. Crime fights back.
Remember the lesson of Metcalfe.
Metcalfe? Metcalfe!
Head of shipping and receiving third floor. Metcalfe!
He lost all his game pieces just like you,
cashed in his 401K and bought a jet pack.
Now the poor bastard needs a machine to poop!
Mr. Fishladder, I know that sort of thing can happen, but...
But you're gonna ride this thing out to the bloody gruesome end, aren't you?
Well, maybe not all the way to the end, but, you know, for a while.
Mr. Fishladder, I have to try.
Time's up!
Here's the way I see it here.
Either a man with a job or an idiot in a body suit, you can't be both.
Not a worldwide Fishladder and sons.
So what's it gonna be, huh?
It's gonna be a tough road a hoe, but he's just the joe to hoe it.
For destiny has called on him, and even now he feels her warm, moist hand at the small of his back.
Push in. Push in.
Losing that job was the best thing that could have happened to me.
That paycheck was a noose around my neck.
Now I can be like you, a superhero!
Oh, crap.
The noblest profession, risking it all for the common good.
That's our job. They may call us an accountant, but we can't deny our true natures,
even if all of our friends and relatives tell us we're good at math.
The hero's life! Our destiny!
Suit doesn't do a lot for you. Make you look like a Easter bunny.
It's a flying suit.
Easter bunny can't fly.
Well, I can.
I haven't yet, but all I have to do is go to the top of a building and jump off.
Go ahead. Who cares?
I'm going to do it tonight.
I think he's going to fall down a lot and die.
Oh, crap.
City! City! I am the tick!
And you have melted my heart.
From this day forth, I will spread my buttery justice over your every nook and cranny.
Hear me, oh city, my city.
Your toast will never go bare again.
Who am I kidding?
Comrades, the Red Scare,
the finest secret Soviet superweapon in 1979 had to offer one touch of this button,
and we'll have an unstoppable engine of death at our command.
In 1979? Does it still work?
Does it still work? It's a Plotsky!
Ivan Plotsky, the best scientist ever.
A toast, my friends, to the Russian-American Coalition for the Annihilation of the U.S. Pulsar System.
To the Soviet Union!
Sorry.
Rabbit person wants to make problems?
It's really more of a moth thing.
He wants to be a superhero.
Let's teach him the lesson of mad calf.
Mad calf? Mad calf!
No!
First damsel in distress.
Unhand that woman!
Oh.
Awkward moment.
Sorry there, moth man.
Didn't mean to interrupt.
Although I sure would like a slice of your righteous combat pie.
What do you say?
Help.
Oh, hey, great. Thanks.
Wicked men, you face the tick.
Help!
Incoming!
Single file.
A grove.
That's a...
Here you go, chump.
Don't do drugs.
Hut! Hut!
There's more where that came from.
He breathes in deep the sweet air of his first victory.
And with the newly won friendship of his fellow warrior,
he stands tall against the inevitable horrors to come.
Come on, moth man, to the rooftops!
It all happens here on the rooftops.
Brightly clad stallions running the most dangerous steeple chase of them all.
Flanks sweaty, nostrils flaring.
We heroes are our own jockeys.
Chum we, ride ourselves, and hard.
Robot!
I saw a robot.
You saw a robot.
You lucky duck.
Wow!
Haven't seen you around before.
I am Batmanwell.
You may have heard of me.
I get a lot of press.
You were the one who saved that trolley full of supermodels.
Yes.
In fact, I save them three times in one night, if you get my meaning.
Nope.
Batmanwell, thank God you're here.
Listen, there's this big red...
Batmanwell, on a roof, of course.
Yes, the door's open at midnight.
And invite Diego, like his sister.
She's Catholic.
Go, walkie-talkie.
Gentlemen, Captain Liberty.
Once again, the nation is in peril.
No, I'm telling you, Falco died.
See, Amadeus, Amadeus, here he is.
Captain Liberty, thank God you're here.
There's no time to chat, I'm afraid this is top priority.
The CIA has tracked a secret Soviet superweapon to the city.
Codename the Red Scare, 100% lethal.
Exactly, exactly.
That is the biggest darn whirly bird I have ever seen.
So, Zenith, back in bed with the CIA, huh?
You certainly do your best work undercover.
Stow it, you infant. I don't have time for your nonsense.
You had a little time for nothing.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You infant, I don't have time for your nonsense.
You had a little time for it last month on top of that water tower.
I shaved her two once, if you know what I'm saying.
Nope.
Everybody, the robot. It's right down there.
I'm working on having him deported.
She fears the demons I have awoken in her womanly places.
He just flipped over a car.
Ground one to airship, target the Euro Trash and Fire on my command.
Lesbian.
We should have taken your country when we had the chance.
There's still never panties.
He's got rockets.
Give me those, you weasel.
Turn it, fight like a woman.
He's getting away!
I stepped in gum.
What's wrong with you people? You're superheroes.
You're supposed to be, you know, heroic.
Sticky pink devil.
Greasy twerp.
The wing ice queen.
Who puts gum on a roof?
Well, it's been a shattering disillusionment.
Good night.
What was that about a robot?
Little guy?
I want to stroke my ears.
He has supernatural speed and unstoppable power.
Now he will discover the doorway to our world.
Freeze!
Night Sniper!
The One is incredible with dazzling visual effects.
I don't think this whole universe could go without him.
Jet Li is...
There's never been anything like what I have become.
The One, rated PG-13, is now playing.
There's a place where people smile big, eat good, and always score a sweet deal.
It's got to be Applebee's.
In the neighborhood
What makes a honey of a deal? Our amazing new honey pepper sauce.
It makes honey grilled chicken and honey pepper steak a taste of honey heaven.
Throw in our famous riblets, now honey barbecue style, and you'll know why.
It's got to be Applebee's.
Eatin' good, honey honey honey in the neighborhood
Fox tomorrow. Max faces a creature that's part human, part animal, and pure terror.
An all new dark angel.
Then, if you saw 24, you'll want to see it again.
If you missed it, this is your chance to catch it.
Get out!
24, an encore presentation. It all starts at 8, 7 Central tomorrow on Fox.

Fox tonight, temptation continues.
As the couples go on their first dates and jealousy is already setting in.
I just want him to want me as much as I want him.
The temptation to premiere continues next on Fox.
You're an idiot in a bunny suit.
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Arthur!
Hello again.
Your door is broken. The knob came off.
What are you doing here?
Man, this is incredible. It looks just like an apartment.
What?
All right. Show me your trigger.
My what?
Your secret headquarters trigger. The switch that pops up all your secret crime-busting equipment.
Is this it?
Huh?
Oh, shit.
Say, what does your sofa turn into?
It turns into a bed.
Well, that's a start. What else you got?
Nothing. I've got nothing. This is just an apartment.
What are you doing here?
I followed you home. I got something I wanted to show you.
Look, this whole thing was a mistake.
Apparently superheroes are just a bunch of egotistical, self-centered, sexually frustrated kindergartners.
No offense intended.
I thought they were supposed to risk it all for the common good, you know, help the downtrodden.
The sad part is, I'm the downtrodden.
I'm not Mothman. I'm not a superhero.
I'm not even an accountant anymore.
I'm just Arthur.
Arthur, listen to me carefully.
I believe in you. I always have.
That's why I'm here.
Destiny dressed you this morning, my friend, and now fear is trying to pull off your pants.
If you give up, if you give in, then you're going to end up naked with fear just standing there laughing at your dangling unmentionables.
Oh, wait. I almost forgot the best part.
I got to thinking you might be on to something about this whole red scare thing.
I figure maybe we should interrogate somebody.
Please help me.
Help you? You were going to Metcalfe me.
Easy there, bad cop. I think you cracked this nut.
All right, you heard the man. Give him the skinny.
The red scare is a relentless robotic assassin built in the late 70s and programmed to kill Jimmy Carter.
We were going to use it to kill the postmaster general, but you thwarted us before we had the chance.
You see, Arthur? You thwart.
Well, then it must still be programmed to...
Oh, my God.
Jimmy Carter is in town.
Jimmy Carter is in town.
Evans to Betsy, what are the odds?
Quickly, Chum. Jimmy needs us now more than ever.
Oh, my God.
Us?
Us.
I have no money.
Five dollars, that's 15%.
Just keep the change.
Clear the building.
Hey, idiot.
The Russians are coming.
Sorry.
The Russians are coming to the penthouse.
Take this as insane. I can't fight the red scare.
Yes, you can.
I'm just an accountant.
People change.
People die.
No, they don't.
Yes, they do.
On my watch, they don't.
Looks like we're gonna be late.
But I don't want to poop with the machine.
No one's asking you to.
Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy, in the elevator.
We'll take it from here.
Mr. Prent.
Jimmy, you got robot problems and bad.
I left my money in my room. I'm sorry.
And your very life hangs in the balance.
Help. Help.
Mr. President, I believe in you. I always have.
Take, take. Don't squeeze his head.
But that doesn't work on anybody.
Remarkably spry.
Men are wrestling out there.
Mr. President, please.
Help.
Help. Stalk his freaks.
Please, Mr. President.
I know we look strange, but we're here to help you.
There's a Soviet killing machine out there with your name on it,
and it could strike at any moment.
I don't believe you.
Freak Molly Hatchett.
Jimmy Carter, you have his sentence to death.
Not so fast.
Destroy Jimmy Carter.
You and what army, Panko?
Oh. Oh.
Knock it off.
Don't worry, Mr. President. Everything's going to be okay.
Oh.
I think.
The helmet.
Destroy Jimmy Carter.
Oh, that's dirty pool.
Ah.
What?
You.
Man.
Two.
Two.
Elevators.
Oh.
Almost at the wall, and we're going to die.
No, we're not, Mr. Ex-President.
Grab onto me and hold tight.
Yeah.
Three.
Oh, yes, it's too late.
We learned that communism does not pay.
So don't have a snappy Soviet comeback for that one, do we?
Gravity is a harsh mistress.
And that's how we vanquished our first super villain.
And how Arthur learned to fly, and how we gave Jimmy Carter a mild concussion.
We saved a president.
Yet the evening's greatest victory is the friendship forged between this heroic duo.
Inseparable, bonded together by the crazy glue of justice.
Till death do they part.
We saved a president.
You two are the talk of the town, you know.
I'd be honored if you would sign my casket.
Oh, sure.
Boys, that was excellent work out there.
I'm sorry I was somewhat distracted earlier, but I assure you that I did come to my senses before it was too late.
She's a beautiful woman, but her third base is very dangerous if you get my meaning.
Ow.
Here, fortune cookies, check.
Check.
Look, four strange treats from the Orient.
A secret message from my teeth.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I don't get it.
Damn, it's Apocalypse Cow.
Arthur, evil as a foot, and hoofing it with dark gusto.
Let's go.
I would not go out there, my little friend.
Apocalypse Cow is 50 feet tall.
She shoots fire from her teeth.
Quickly, John, there's fire everywhere.
But Batman Welles said under...
Fight fire with Arthur.
I'll just get a check.
It's your destiny.
That's Manuel.
Diego.
That was your sister.
Attention all tobacco executives.
People say you add ammonia to your cigarette, which makes them more addictive, but you say it's for flavor.
That's why we made the one and only ammonia age.
Tobacco companies say they add ammonia to their cigarettes for flavor.
I know they try, it looks gross.
We work at it.
We work with truth, sir.
We don't have no truth here, so I want you to go back outside.
It's got real ammonia goodness.
Why don't you kick them out? They put ammonia in cigarettes.
Stop.
What's the problem?
This ain't so good, man.
Ammonia, the flavor that it takes.
The hair looks like real hair.
The clothes move like real clothes.
The sweat drips like real sweat.
Pity those who play to escape reality.
Does the world really need another mid-sized family sedan?
It does if it's redesigned with V6 power, room for five, and the freedom of America's best warranty plan.

Temptation Island in Cleveland.
It's a party full of sun, sand, and seduction.
The Mossman takes you there live to meet Northeast Ohio's newest primetime star at 10.
Get ready for parenthood, Bernie Mac-style.
Come on, and that's...
I bet if I stop feeding you, you have something to say.
Critics call it the year's best new comedy.
Somebody get in your face, you got to scare them.
Wow.
No, man, man, man.
No, man, man, man.
I don't play.
I don't play.
I got your heat.
That's a dead boy walk right there.
The Bernie Mac Show, followed by the season premiere of Titus at 8, 37, 30 Central, Fox Wednesday.
The premiere of Temptation 2 continues in 3, 2, 1.
Let me be the first to welcome you to Temptation Island.
Everyone's just anxious.
I want to see if the grass is really greener on the other side.
If he cheats on me, then we're not going to stay together.
It's do or die.
We're either going to stay together or we're breaking up.
It all begins now.
I trust him with my life.
We voted off all these beautiful, innocent women and left all the prostitutes.
It's not him.
No, I didn't say kissing some girl's breasts were fine.
He's about to sleep with somebody.
I'm totally alone.
I'm shaking right now.
Why would he do that?
I love him.
These four couples have embarked on an incredible journey.
Although they're in committed relationships, they've traveled to this remote,
tropical destination to become single again.
To test their devotion to one another and answer the ultimate question,
have I found the one or is there someone better out there for me?
Upon their arrival, it's time to say goodbye.
Okay, you knew it was coming.
They were separated from their mates and sent to opposite ends of the island.
It all begins now.
There, they were joined by 26 singles, 13 men, and 13 women in search of romance.
It got me totally excited in all the right ways.
For nearly a month, they will mix, mingle, and date in an attempt to find new connections.
She's bad, man.
