Storyline

Tom Peters has just moved to the small town of Jefferton, best known for its strip malls, buffet restaurants and run-down parks. Seeking to make a name for himself, Tom begins setting up meetings with the eccentric mayor of the town. Together, they develop a number of pointless ideas that never seem to go anywhere. Sometimes they seem to make things worse. Written by Civonos

Trivia

The show is based on a short film Tom Goes to the Mayor by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim which appeared in independent film festivals as well as on Tim and Eric's website. Tim and Eric sent copies of the short to a few of their favorite comedians including Bob Odenkirk who liked it so much he showed it to David Cross. Cross later made a cameo in the sequel Tom Goes to the Mayor Returns. Odenkirk later worked with Tim and Eric to develop the short into a series. See more »

Quotes

The Mayor: [Tom is unconscious in a dumpster] Thomas! Tom-boy! Tom! Tom, are you okay?
Tom Peters: Oh, wow...
The Mayor: It's okay... I'm gonna hold up your head for you.
Tom Peters: ...think I hit my head... wh... where am I? What time is it?
The Mayor: Well... I've been keeping you in this dumpster for weeks now. Found this vest on a hobo and put it on you to keep you warm, 'cause you've been way too tender to move.
Tom Peters: Oh. Okay. What's that smell?
The Mayor: Tom, what you're probably smelling is the cat food. I've been coming by every night to feed you, and since...

Silly and Cheap. More Please!
20 June 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Like most Adult Swim shows, you either get it or you don't. I've been a fan of Adult Swim since Space Ghost. I love the campy feel of Sealab, Aqua Teen and Brack Show. I don't care much for Robot Chicken or Harvey Birdman. But I don't think those shows should be canceled. If they make somebody laugh, then let them laugh. What do I care.

Some of the Cameos are a little hit or miss. Tenacious D was great, and Michael Ian Black (?) was cool. Goldbloom kinda sucked, go figure. But the normal characters are great. I really love Tom's wife. What a cutie.

Anyway, keep em coming guys. Tom and Eric is my favorite show on TV. You Haters can watch Beavis and Butthead reruns.
