"Tom Goes to the Mayor" [Heidecker-Wareheim, 2004] Season 2 [Jun.-Sep. 2006] [TV-PG/TV-14]

A side project (of the TV sort) by Tim and Eric themselves, this {{adjective}} animated comedy's stylistic nuances warrant an explanation: the backgrounds and people aren't- they're live-action stillframes updated every 4 seconds or so to maintain some kind of fluidity, however, it is insufficient: the show comes off as abhorrent. Actors include Tim and Eric themselves, playing respectively Tom Peters-- who, at least most of the time, attempts to give "the Mayor" (of a small town named "Jefferton") ideas on how to improve the city, which invariably (essentially) fail and "the Mayor" himself. It, assuredly, is not completely humorless-- there are ever so brief, ever so sporadic, so infrequent glimpses thereof, and that easily elevates the otherwise appallingly deadpan [i.e. TOTALLY devoid of humor] show's grade a full notch. But still, you shouldn't waste your time. Grade: C MINUS
