Creator Steve Dildarian animates HBO's The Life & Times of Tim in the flat, simplistic style of Beavis & Butthead, but that's where the comparison ends. Tim (Dildarian) may act like a child, but he's still an adult. The deadpan New Yorker lives with his exasperated girlfriend, Amy (M.J. Otto), and works at Omnicorp with the manly Rodney (Matt Johnson), the droll Stu (Nick Kroll), and the unnamed Boss (Peter Giles). In the pilot, Amy and her parents catch Tim with a hooker--having a conversation. When he refuses to pay for services non-rendered, Debbie (Bob Morrow) gives her pimp a call, but Tim outsmarts the guy by playing dumb. That unique combination of idiocy and quick wits distinguishes the rest of the 10 episodes, which walk the line between clever and crude (and they're definitely not for kids). During the first season, Tim lies to protect Rodney's rowdy rep, calls a baby a name, gropes a grandmother, insults an old codger, and sneaks into a deaf coworker's birthday party for the free cake.
Much like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Dildarian takes aim at political correctness run amok, except Tim's every problem begins with his inability to decline the most inane requests, whereas Larry David is more like a bull in a china shop. The good news: The Life & Times of Tim is just as funny. The bad news: the humor might make you feel queasy. (There's a reason Dildarian chose "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" as the show's theme song.) Guest voices include Cheri Oteri as the super's daughter, Jeff Garlin as Stu's dad, and Phylicia Rashad as the Boss's wife, while the bonus feature adds 10 promotional shorts. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This could be the funniest show on TV. I would love to know how they create this show. Do they start with "endpoints" (crazy scenarios) and figure out how Tim would wind up in them in the first place? Or do they say, "What if Tim fought an old man?" and go from there. Either way, this is a freaking hysterical show,

Life and Times of Tim is one funny show. Not much to report DVD wise since it's a crudely drawn animated show but the discs are layed out nice with 10 mini episodes apiece. Video is clean and the audio sounds great. There are 10 short scenes featured as extras. I would have liked to seen a behind the scenes bonus...sort of a "making of" scenario but that's OK. It's still worth the price. Looking forward to Season 2.

This is the funniest shows on TV... Tim always gets himself in trouble... The best part is seeing him have an answer for everything... I've been waiting for the dvd to come out for months... HBO keeps pushing it back... anyone know why?.. and when does season 2 start?

This show is amazing
I have every season of this show and not 1 episode has been disappointing. The shenanigans Tim get himself into are beyond ridiculous, which make this unbeatable.

One of my favorite new series!
Life and Times of Tim was sent efficiently, came brand new and in good condition. That said, it's the most hilarious crudely animated show. Read more

Life and Times of Tim
This series is quirky funny, others and Tim himself gets into awkard situations,
very funny. If you like red dwarf, black adder, flight of the conchords you will like this.

Hilarious Discomfort
Tim seems like a normal guy, that is, until you meet who he surrounds himself with. Then you cannot help but wonder how or why that is until you realize he is a bit... odd. Read more

Top 5 On TV
This is one show, that if chosen to pick a show to watch until the end of the universe, would be my pick. This is just one of many amazing HBO shows and totally recommend it.
