Describing "South Park" TV show as "an American animated sitcom" compares with characterizing baseball as "an American form of exercise" such flagrant under-statement it is just insulting and unlawful in thirty-seven states. Over the course of its more than two-hundred episodes, "South Park" has achieved the exalted status of cultural icon and ratings bonanza. "South Park" consistently tops the basic cable charts, and it has earned distinction as Comedy Central's highest rated and longest running show. From their South Park, Colorado, vantage, four foul-mouthed but frighteningly precocious elementary schoolers willingly satirize everything from politics to the prophet Mohammed. Everything is grist for Stan Marsh's, Kyle Broflovski's, Eric Cartman's, and Kenny McCormick's mills. "South Park's" distinctive cut-out animation, originally done by hand but now computer-generated, adds to its often surreal and always dark humor. Generally heralded as the internet's first "viral" video, since 1997, "South Park" has garnered four primetime Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award for Comedy Central.

If there were ever somebody who just seems to attract those "awkward moments" into their life it is Tim! He is like a fish out of water, and living in New York City means that makes for some amusing events in his life. Steve Dildarian does the voice for Tim who also has a girl friend named Amy (voiced by Mary Jane Otto) and a rather unusual next door neighbor in his apartment building, Debbie the prostitute (voice of Bob Morrow), who is always sympathetic towards her favorite neighbor, Tim. Crisp writing and a fun cast make The Life & Times of Tim work and as the show is animated they tend to get away with more than usual, especially by HBO standards. Look for plenty of confrontations between Tim and his boss, aptly called simply "The Boss" and some of the others at his office, Rodney and Stu. Poor Tim is constantly getting himself into situations that cause embarrassment for himself yet always in a funny way.

The world knows and loves Matt Groening for his unprecedented and unparalleled work on "The Simpsons." During the Fox Network's ambitious "Animation Domination" initiative, Groening teamed with David Cohen, creating a second hit animated series, "Futurama." Groening and Cohen described their wonderwork as "retrofuturistic," an amazingly apt oxymoron for a working class sitcom set in the thirty-first century. Apparently, blue collar labor will not evolve over the next thousand years: In "Futurama," a late 20th century pizza delivery guy is accidentally cryogenically frozen for a millennium; when he thaws and returns to consciousness, he finds a job at Planet Express, an inter-planetary delivery company. Not especially concerned with science, the writers focus the stories on the workplace trials and tribulations of the three central characters"”Fry, Leela, and Bender. Their future dramas strangely resemble every working person's today dramas. Although "Futurama" has moved up and down the dial, exiting Fox for Cartoon Network, and bidding farewell to Cartoon Network for a new home on "Comedy Central," it has held onto a fiercely loyal audience, and it especially has garnered unprecedented critical acclaim. In 2010, "Futurama" set a Guiness World Record for "Current Most Critically-Acclaimed Animated Series", adding to its eight Emmys and thirteen Annies.
