Ten Year Old Tom

I love this type of comedy. It's in the same vein as Life of Tim, Dr. Katz, Dilbert...

It's an adult comedy. There's no slapstick or low brow physical humor. It's the dialogue that makes the show funny. His reaction to the absurd words and actions of the people in his life.

Quality show.

Ten Year Old Tom rules! Unlike the protagonist Tom, the show is not a dud. Like a more biting version of Bob's Burgers (see also: Home Movies), it's just really freaking funny.

It's also, as one critic noted, weirdly sweet, even though it follows a Curb Your Enthusiasm-type formula. Sure, Tom is painfully (below) average, and is degraded by everyone constantly. Yet, there's a sense of family to these characters -- and it's a family you'll want to join.

Just think of Larry David as a 10 year old boy named tom and you have a show called Ten Year Old Tom. I loved Curb Your Enthusiasm so that should probably the metric which upon you decide to watch this show. Lots of funny and akward moments, story line always making an unexpected twist, and I hope they make more episodes. The only bad unrealistic thing I'll say is New Jersey is animated way better than it really is.

If you are a fan of the classic "The life and times of Tim" this is the exact same thing, basically Tom is just a younger Tim. Great characters, well written and improvised. I wouldn't expect anything less from Steve Dildarian.

If you've seen (and therefore, no doubt, love) The Life and Times of Tim, you'll also like Ten Year Old Tom. Same amazingly dry humor, animation, and realistic absurdity. The cast is full of ridiculously talented comedians and comedic actors...great to see the addition of Erik Griffin and Andrew Santino. My only complaint is that we need cameos from Life and Times characters and we definitely need a character played by Bobby Lee. You'll either get it or won't, which is what makes it so damn great!
