Product Description The Life & Times of Tim: The Complete First Season (DVD)What happens when your girlfriend comes home before your hooker hasleft? What do you do when a priest asks you to object to a wedding, as a prank? What happens when your boss orders you to change your ethnicity in order to meet his corporate quotas? Meet Tim: an ordinary guy who makes a habit out of misunderstanding in The Life & Times of Tim – a hilarious, new, adult animated series from Budweiser advertising wunderkind Steve Dildarian.]]> .com 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

did you read that. pissed when hbo didnt renew this show.this is not a review for the dvd, but for the show, will update if needed, but probably notone of my most favorite shows. hbo has aired many of my absolute favorite, cant get out of my head shows: life and times of tim, six feet under, sex and the city. then they went and didnt renew tim. i dont have hbo anymore anyway, so i dont have hbo go, but i dont even think them hookers had it as an option to view on hbogo. anyway, this is one of the funniest, "wth" shows i've seen. the situations they come up with are funny enough, but the reactions and lines they wrote to support it just blow my mind. comedy writers like this amaze me. i hope these guys continue to work and provide people with their hilarity. steve dildarian and etc, not many people appreciated you, but you have a fan in me :)

classic
I own all 3 seasons of Life and Times of Tim. It is subtle humor most of the time but not overly gross like Family Guy either. It's like Seth McFarlane (spelling?) humor without all the disgusting stuff.Tim is an office guy, gets into hijnx, Nick Kroll is a main character, Tim's Boss could be my favorite character. There is a priest with a drug, drinking, and prostitute problem. Oh and gambling addiction too.Tim is often the scape goat or the patsy or the fall guy. However you want to say it. Lot of famous cameo voices throughout all 3 seasons.I have a hard time finding solid, consistent humor. Most of the genre is dominated by outdated Adam Sandler pee in the pool jokes, Seth Rogan barf jokes, Workholics bathroom and morbid humor, and Seth McFarlane over the top.Gone are the days of Peter Sellers. Until you buy this DVD. And the other two seasons.Enjoy.

This series should be banned... really. No, not because of any references
to any supposed deities that inflames the passions of any religious fundamentalists. This show needs to be banned because watching it might be harmful to your health. You might ACTUALLY die laughing. They should have a Surgeon General sticker on the DVD stating " Watching Tim trying to weasel his way out of explaining how he won 10 grand at the race track because he bet on a horse that had a name that reminded him of his girlfriend Amy might cause you to stop breathing because it is funnier than anything you have ever seen in your life". But that warning will be on the second season DVD since that episode just aired recently. Hopefully you will live long enough after watching the first season to get the second season DVD. So go and enjoy the first season but have a defibrillator nearby. The thing about this show is that the delivery and the dialog is so well crafted and the comic timing is so brilliant that you are literally in awe before you just begin very loud uncontrollable laughter that will have your neighbors complaining.

Love it....love it...love it!
Great wry comedy. Tim reminds me of a cartoon version of Ray Romano. Apparently, only season one is available on DVD. Would love to get additional seasons if they were available. Highly recommended!!

What a discovery
After seeing the commercials for this show a few times I finally started paying attention and good god, it has to be the funniest show since Arrested Development. The show is basically scripted but has a great improv feel, the best voice actors around, and a totally fearless take on any situation. Unlike a lot of animated shows, all the actors get together in the same room, and you can really tell the difference in the interaction. It's like nothing else around and you are going to get at least half a dozen solid, memorable laughs out of every episode. It only gets better with repeated watchings. In short, huge fan. They can't crank these puppies out fast enough for me.

WHY DID THIS NOT COME OUT?????
It was once listed as being released on 03/24/09. That date was removed from Amazon about 3 weeks ago. There was an insert for THE LIFE AND TIMES OF TIM saying that it would be released in MARCH 2009, inside of the SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH (which is an awsome show) dvd. Does anyone know when this set is going to be released. Other sources also said that THE LIFE AND TIMES OF TIM would be released this week. (Entertainment Weekly had it as coming out this week and EW is a publication under the GIANT unmbrella that is TIME WARNER which also happens to own HBO on which THIS show plays) DOES ANYONE HAVE A FREAKIN' CLUE?

Tim is awesome!
Very funny adult cartoon. Tim has the ability to put himself in bad situations and things happen. One of my favorite shows (cartoons). You'll get a good laugh out of it!

Brilliant Comedy.
The Life & Times of Tim is an excellent animated comedy that has flown under the radar in the UK. I think series 1&2 were aired late on Tuesday nights on Virgin 1 a couple of years ago. Tim is a well meaning, awkward, average guy who usually ends up in tight squeeze through peer pressure, bad choices or genuinely trying to do the right thing. He has a girlfriend who is too good for him & his friends Rodney & Stu are morons who almost always land Tim in trouble. Other great characters include Debbie the hooker, The Alcoholic Priest & Tim's slightly odd Boss. The animation is very crude but charming, however it's the writing & delivery that makes it so good.This is must see stuff. One of the finest animated shows around & a real gem.Annoyingly there's no PAL version, so its NTSC region 1 only but it's not too hard to get cheap NTSC DVD players these days. Also, there appears to be no sign of series 2 or 3 making it to DVD yet.

sharp funny stuff. I doubt I can add much to ...
This is superb, sharp funny stuff. I doubt I can add much to any of the already superb reviews out there on imdb etc of Life & Times of Tim.
