That is the sh*ttiest, unfunni3 turd of a show I have seen in a while. If those guys at Adult Swim actually think that show is funni3, they need to fire them and hire people who have a sense of humor that involves things that don't suck ass and are funny.







Man that show SUCKS!! thumbsdown.gif thumbsdown.gif

I tried to like it, but no.....I just can't. It's a horrible show.

Agreed

The look of the show is kinda cool, but it's just not funny AT ALL, something tells me it will go the way of the dinosaurs soon enough. thumbsdown.gif

Couldn't agree any more with all of your comments.

I can't even stand the commercial for it its that bad.

So did I. What's really bad is the fact that those people at Adult Swim have been promoting it so much saying it is sooo funny. Blech. It's horrible.

Sucks donkey balls! Horrible, the art is a new deal, which i like, but the story is so damn stupid, and F***ed up

It's a horrible show. I dislike that show about as much as Wheelie.
Starscreamer
well the Jeff Goldblume episode didn't suck as bad as the "ww Lazers resturaunt" ep....

I watched it for about 2 seconds before popping in an old Transformers tape; y'know, the one where wheelJack and Sideswipe dig out Skyfire, and the whole inca energy pyramid thing in South America? (If I'm not mistaken.)

anyways, cn really should pull it off, and put something on with a little better appeal, like maybe Robotech or Voltron?

I thought the Jeff Goldblum bit was funny, but that was it. And that news couple scares ths crap outta me. Why does Adult Swim insist on replacing their good shows with crap like this?!
Tripredacus
I wanted to keep an open mind about it. But I should have changed the channel as soon as I saw the opening. Ug. It would have been better with traditional animation instead of dirty looking cardboard people.
X-Bob58
It would be OK if they didn't show Reruns all the time

Tom Goes to the Mayor is one of the funniest shows ever made.
You see, the thing is, you actually have to have INTELLIGENCE to understand the jokes. They don't spell everything out for you...

Oh, and the first time I watched it, I didn't like it either.

But it grew on me like you wouldn't believe.
Maybe it will do the same for you, too.

the characters are really drawn well (their facial expressions are really too) but the show is just too........."WE TODD IT"

the creator of that should could be drawing other cartoons that were actually funny

That's like saying, "You can solve that math equation, and I can't. Must be due to your lack of intelligence!"
Doesn't make sense.
But what can I expect from someone whose head TGTTM and all its brilliance goes over? rolleyestf.gif

That smells like flaming BE...tone it down grimlocklaugh.gif Insult ideas but not people. Also it wouldn't hurt to state a few facts in your defense of why the show is so good. Facts besides "You dumb" rolleyestf.gif

i think it sucks. period.

Same here. I watched a couple of episodes and didn't like it very much.

First I would like to extend my apologies to the moderators if steps over to flaming, but one thing I can’t stand is to be personally insulted.

Now then wow BE you got some balls at least on the internet.

Let’s see if you are so intelligent how much education do you have? I have three college degree and three classes away from a Masters Degree. Ok now if this show is so intellectual why don't you explain what is so great about this idiotic show. I can make a coherent argument about why the show is so bad, but it's not worth the time and effort since the show is so obviously bad. All you seem to be able to do is insult someone that has a different opinion than yourself. You truly are an intellectual aren't you? Oh by the way I had a 4.0 in my Physics class. Have you taken a Physics class?

edit: i think the artists of the cartoon could be drawing more serious cartoons that were more entertaining, they have potential but not with work like that... look at the creators of bevis n butthead... usa.gif's most hated cartoon... once the artists started doing other work like king of the hill, their artwork and humor was more acceptable in our society.

off topic: yenno mike judge has a degree in physics from UC san diego? amazing lol

Tom Goes to the Mayor rules!! Sorry, but I've had a soft spot in my heart for shows where nothing ever moves or happens ever since Dr. Katz Professional Therapist. Home Movies was done by the same people and I LOVED it, but now that's gone (though it's creators and the talented H. Jon Benjamin have gone onto O'Grady) so I see this as the next best thing.

Dr. Katz ruled!! I almost forgot about that show. I was always too sleepy to really enjoy Home Movies but what I remember was good. I still need to point our Dish so I can see how good or bad TGTM is. We moved a while back and I'm lazy.

Well there one good thing you can say about Tom goes to the mayor. IT'S BETTER THAN MILKCHAN!!!
New Soundwave
Ha! Never watched it. Now I'm glad rodimusgrinstatic.gif
Skidplate
Sorry to dredge this up, but I just HAD to put in my two bits as far as TGTTM is concerned.

I actually enjoy the show. I think it's smart and entertaining. The only problem is, it really doesn't belong on adult swim, as evidenced by all but one of the testimonials here. It's way too out there for the demographic that adult swim is shooting for (as is Milk Chan, which is way too out there for even me).

Some of you may be familiar with Bob Odenkirk of Mr. Show fame. For those of you that are, you'll know that, for it's time Mr. Show was pretty out there. It infused Monty Python, early SNL, and a unique "counter-culture" perspective that was just too much for some people. You can watch some of the old shows on DVD, and in some of the sketches, jokes just fall FLAT. No laughs. And it's not because the jokes weren't funny, because they were. It's because Mr. Show was ahead of it's time. People just weren't ready for it, for that type of show, for that type of comedy. They are now, however. Many of you have seen Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central, and probably love it. I enjoy it myself. Chappelle's Show follows an almost identical format to that of Mr. Show. It's the racially charged spiritually successor to Mr. Show, and where Mr. Show stumbled in ratings, Chappelle's Show excels. Why? Because now is the time for that kind of comedy, for that kind of show. I really can't explain it. Just look at Seinfeld. The show was on for two and a half years before anyone knew it existed.

Anyway, enough rambling. All that to say this: Bob Odenkirk, whom I consider to be a comic genius, is the executive producer of Tom Goes to the Mayor. He didn't create the show, but he wrote alot of the episodes, and probably exercises some creative muscle with the shows direction. So I say give Tom Goes to the Mayor some time. It may be two years, it may be ten before it finds its audience. I for one will keep watching until then.




As a side note, everyone should check out what David Cross (one time partner and cohort of Bob Odenkirk in Mr. Show) is doing these days!

I haven't watched it because I don't get the channel it's on.

So I really have no comment here. At least, not yet. But rest assured, once I get an opinion on the show you guys will be the first to know ...
