The Life and Times of Tim
I was introduced to this odd animation series whilst on a forum and after a while, i decided to actually download a couple of episodes to test the waters as it were.
The programme basically follows the average life of a seemingly middle-class office worker (albeit seemingly on a working class income) and his girlfriend, as Tim is constantly put through embarrassing or downright stupid scenarios. One example of his stupidity is when he is asked by a lingerie salesman to give a photo of his naked girlfriend so he can buy her a bra that fits. Naturally this results in a lot of chaos, all the while Tim protests his innocence and attempts to pray forgiveness.
While the plotlines can become tedious and the outcomes nearly all the same, it is enjoyable to watch and Tim's attitude at times saves an other wise middle-of-the-road animation. There are two stories per episode in season 1, but with season 2 looking unlikely due to low ratings, it seems this show may have had its time.
Recommended, despite the repetitive nature.
Edit: Apparently HBO have commissioned the show for a second season. Yay!
