    The Life & Times of Tim--is flat-out brilliant and easily one of the funniest newcomers to television.

    The show gets under the skin, somehow, with its loose Web-clip vibe and looser philosophy of life.

    The Life & Times of Tim, their new, offbeat, animated series, is one that works like crazy--and no, it doesn't hurt to be crazy to love this show.

    Sophomoric and crude, The Life & Times of Tim may be a viable alternative for fans of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

    Tim's world is so consistently outlandish as to be difficult to resist, especially since Dildarian plays the whole thing with the understatement of Bob Newhart's old phone routines.

    The jokes that do hit on "Life and Times of Tim" suggest that Dildarian might be onto something really good if given time to fix the slow spots.

    The opening episodes are uneven but show a lot of potential.
