can't give it a zero, bad acting, no plot and too much subversive homosexuality,CANCEL THIS CRAP..........other shows on as are funny but I think that this is one of those where you have this friend on the inside and he gets your show on.There promos are not funny and the show is dumb and choppy. Too much junk like 12oz mouse with no plot, adult swim is good for some laughs but only when the show actually spends some money on production and writing. Tim and eric? who cares about you and jefferton, cross dressing isn't funny anymore, HINT HINT SNL. there's a message in this show, I hope there is no third season, Bill Cosby did better with a roller.
... View MoreI didn't expect much from a show called "Tom Goes to the Mayor" but after watching a few episodes I got hooked. This is one crazy show. Funny and downright sick sometimes, it's a great adult swim addition.Why is it funny? Well, here's a look into a small town with a semi-clueless mayor (I say 'semi' because I think the mayor knows what he wants with his own agenda) and a do-gooder citizen Tom Peters who - doesn't have one of the best of home lives.His (second) wife is a lazy cow, his kids are the worst step-children imaginable but here's Tom Peters - who's heart is in a good place - he wants to be a part of improving his town. But everything he brings to this mayor goes horribly wrong. Horribly. So why does he keep trying? Why doesn't he move? Why -- even when the mayor can't remember his name with all the things he's done with him! Why, indeed.The mayor is mostly to blame for these disasters...but the mayor's council is just as clueless. A skewed view into local politics. And add in live action "married news team" which is one of the most weirdest couples around, you have "Jefferton".A very dark humored adult show.
... View MoreThat about sums up the show in it's entirely "Tom Goes the Mayor" is not the best show on Adult Swim as some few fans might say, it's the WORST thing on Adult Swim's lineup. Even "American Dad" looks a masterpiece compared to this garbage.When I was reading other reviews, I noticed how exaggerated these reviews were and how even the positive reviews couldn't really give any clear examples of a plot or positives.The show is about a guy who is the Mayor, that's about it, but most of the characters are pretty loud and obnoxious.Even as I snuck a peak at the Behind Scenes footage for the show, I noticed even one of the writers get up and say "THIS IS NOT FUNNY, THERE IS NO WAY THIS WOULD SHOW ON TELEVISION" and his right 100%. It's interesting how that confession is left out of people's review.This show doesn't breathe new life into Adult Swim, it takes it away. It's boring, it's dull, and most important it's not funny at all. In actuality it's annoying like trolls on the internet.The budget is nonexistent, the animation sucks, and the voices are all uninspiring. "Robot Chicken", "Sealab", "Aquan Team " and "Family Guy" are all shows worth your time, this show is not. I gave it a shot for two episodes and NEVER laughed. It's about as bad if not worse than Venture Bros. another lame Adult Swim toon that should be canceled.
... View MoreTom Goes to the Mayor is quite possibly one of the best shows on Adult Swim. I was pleased to see that Adult Swim had more on their mind than simply ratings. They must've noticed that their late night programming was getting stagnant and repetitive with the hours of anime, and the line up of retro animation that everyone loves to duplicate. Tom Goes to the Mayor breathes new life into Adult Swim by integrating jokes that make no sense at first, but really grow on the viewer. Unlike Super Milk Chan and Robot Chicken, TGttM does not heavily rely on simply calling someone "a dumbass" repeatedly for laughs, and it doesn't focus on sexual innuendos and testicles to get people to enjoy the show.The low-quality animation makes the entire show seem more real, especially since it's actual people who are being photographed while making strange expressions. But what I enjoy about TGttM is that you really feel for Tom and his plight.
