It’s on my must-see list now (HBO Sunday nights). Every episode has two mini-episodes, and it seems that the second episode is usually funnier. It’s sort of like an animated _Curb Your Enthusiasm_ with a younger orientation. The voice acting is right on IMO. The animation quality is only above average, better than South Park but inferior to Simpsons. ---

I LOVE this show, even if its just basically devolving into Tim getting talked into doing really stupid things. The first mini episode with the hooker and the back door action has to be one of the funniest things i’ve seen in my life. ---

I like it. I think it’s become my favorite thing on HBO right now. It’s kind of a cross between _The Office_ and _Curb Your Enthusiasm_, but animated. I think the deadpan style of the voice actor playing Tim is what makes the show work. I also like the wildly inappropriate priest. ---

I will continue to watch this show just on the strength of the Priests character. “Im gonna go ahead and give myself three Hail Marys and a big gold bucket of nothin else.” ---

If you like someone being in awkward situations or someone who always gets himself into a jam, this is the show for you. The dialog is clever and perfectly delivered by the voice actors. I think it being on HBO is the reason it doesn’t get as much attention as the network shows. Along with The Big Bang Theory this is the only other must-see show for me this season. I really hope more people will watch it so that it will have more episodes after this season’s run. ---
