Trivia
The show is based on a short film Tom Goes to the Mayor (2002) by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim which appeared in independent film festivals as well as on Tim and Eric's website. Tim and Eric sent copies of the short to a few of their favorite comedians including Bob Odenkirk who liked it so much he showed it to David Cross. Cross later made a cameo in the sequel Tom Goes to the Mayor Returns (2003). Odenkirk later worked with Tim and Eric to develop the short into a series.

Quotes
Mike Fox: [the Mayor is watching "Scared Straight" on TV] My name is Mike Foxx and I've lost thirteen of my own children - four to wind poisoning, two to sand rash, five to deadly crickets, and at least six to a mysterious drifter who looks and sounds like this guy:
Mysterious Drifter: This is the sound of my voice!
The Mayor: Oh, no!

Hilarious

This show is a show made out of paper. The basic outline is a loyal civilian, Tom Peters, has great ideas to help the city; however, whenever he presents the idea, the mayor makes it take a turn for the worst.The new episodes appear on the 10:30 adult swim slot, and I haven't missed one since the show started. Celebrities constantly have a guest appearance. I will admit though that a lot of people may not get the show's humor. The mayor and Tom make a unforgettable duo that will not be forgotten in years to come. The writer's for this show have a different set of mind frame that you won't want to miss. All in all this is a great, funny show that you will have to see for yourself at sometime.
