Ten Year Old Tom

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'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!

I'm so glad I gave this show a chance. A very funny show and every character just works perfectly. It's like a funnier "Home Movies".

Though not quite as sharp as Life and Times of Tim, Ten Year Old Tom definitely holds up on its own as a funny series where a boy constantly wants to have a normal life, but everyone around him complicates that. The show can't go as far as "Tim" (gross out comedy-wise) seeing how we're now dealing with a 10 year old, but when a simple fishing trip ends with a burned down cabin and passed out prostitute, this snowball can grow quite large. Especially the school picture episode, my fave.

Amazing voice acting all around and the simplified animation never gets in the way of any enjoyment, like other Dildarian projects. Definite recommended!
