 An Underappreciated GemJan 02, 2007
By James Rubin
Tom Goes to the Mayor is pretty much what the plot synopsis says here. Tom goes to the Mayor, and pitches an idea ranging from terrible, to mildly bad, to mediorce. The Mayor takes this idea and makes it worst. Hillarity ensues. It might sound boring, and repetitive on paper, but thanks to the wild, and creepy imaginations of Tim, and Eric, the creators, plus some truly sick writers, the show is great.
It's definitely not a show for everyone, but what TV show is for everyone? If you like surreal humor, and awkward situations that involve a bumbling Mayor, and an incredibly naieve idiot, you'll like this.

 Tom Goes To The Mayor: It makes your brain itch....in a good way!Jan 11, 2007
By Wallet
2004...
A year that will live on as one that produced some of the most polarized, non-sequiter Television shows to date. A year, that took the phrase "Mayor's Office!" from a unuttered declaration to a one of the most beloved (and hated) phrases known to Adult Swim viewerrs everywhere.
Tom Goes To The Mayor has got to be one of the most intriguing TV shows I've seen in a long long while, if not because it's so different! It's mix of (occasionally) delightfully tasteless, many times alkward, but always funny humor places the phrase "You either love it, or you hate it) to a new tier. The plot of the whole series is pretty much the same throughout. Tom goes to the mayor, pitches and idea, and all hell breaks loose. But, while this may sound like a theme that would get stale by the third episode, TGTTM manages to keep it fresh with their humerously wacky, wonderfully demented, and just plain "What the hell?" elements.
Many people, for those reasons, hate this show. In a world where Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the farthest many people are willing to go for polarized humor, Tom Goes To The Mayor often takes it just a little too far, boarderlining on Monty Python-esque humor. (In one episode, a Monkey jumps out of an Eclair.) For many, seeing a monkey leap out of a giant eclair is just too much for their conformist brains to handle. Even for us that enjoy the series, it does sometimes make our (mine anyway) brains itch. But it's all in good fun! This DVD collection is the ultimate for any Tom fans out there (mainly because it's the whole TGTTM world in a three disc set). For people who don't like the Tom Goes to the Mayor series, then for god's sake, don't get it! Go find an old theme park to rebuild, just to burn to the ground, or solve the issue of child safety by employing bear traps, but if you hate the series, then don't get these DVDs. More for us fans! ;)

Scathing rebuke to the American "Cult of the Entrepreneur"May 16, 2011
By Bill Perez
A persistent delusion among ordinary Americans is that they can singlehandedly transform their ideas & pluck into a path to riches, or at least subsistence. Despite being coerced and humiliated daily by a corporate-controlled system of intrusive marketing tactics, state complicity & and a continuous fleecing by all involved, Americans in large measure still accept the preposterous precepts of pop Libertarianism, the clandestine essence of which is merciless social Darwinism. In Tom Goes to the Mayor, these delusions are just as mercilessly autopsied and found nauseatingly necrotic to their core.
The setting is precise: a small city, "Jefferton", located at the interchange of two Interstates, according to the paper placemat at the local "Gulliver's" seen briefly in the opening credits. Its charms are listed in the theme song: Community Spirit! Shopping! Food! What "community spirit" exists in Jefferton, however, is simply there to nourish the tepid commerce comprising the "shopping" and "food". The central character, Tom, is a gutted victim of postmodern social collapse: unemployed, of course; maxed out on his cards; behind in every payment he is responsible for; trapped in the second marriage of a morbidly obese ogress with fat, snarling diabetic brats; his brain infected with self-help & business-press aphorisms that make his utterances sound like hackneyed PowerPoint presentations half the time. The forces he confronts are personified in the twisted lunatic Mayor whom he must petition in each episode.
Tom is compelled by his circumstances to try and lever every lame & insipid entrepreneurial idea he can think of into some sort of cash flow. These attempts fail utterly in every instance, each time surreally illustrating another absurd aspect of postindustrial life in the US. There is no respite, no comfort, and absolutely no success available to Tom--the game is brazenly rigged against him at every juncture. The Mayor is a cryptic imp in Tom's perdition, a tempter and tormentor egging Tom forward from force-fed false hope to brutal disillusionment.
But Tom's despair is our edification: the show acidly flays the counterfeit affirmations of American capitalism's ideological face and lays bare its banal teeth and claws. Excellent cultural critique of America in the new millenium.

Rats Off To Ya!Apr 04, 2007
By James L
Tom Goes to the Mayor is a hilarious and bizarre cartoon in which every episode finds Tom Peters in some way attempting to work with the Mayor of the lovely town of Jefferton on some poorly conceived plan. The show is often random, bizarre, disgusting and just generally crazy. It's entirely possible you just won't get the show and I certainly wouldn't blame you if you didn't. But fans of other unusual adult cartoon shows (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab, etc.) will likely fall in love with the inspired absurdity of this show. Virtually every one of the 30 episodes is worth a viewing, and the show is loaded with great guest stars including Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Jeff Goldblum, Sarah Silverman, Gary Busey, Michael Ian Black, Fred Willard, and countless more. The only drawback to the DVD set is that the special features are rather disappointing. There just isn't a whole lot of good content there, and some bits of material are even directly repeated in different portions of bonus materials. Despite this one drawback, however, it's a phenomenal show, all 30 episodes of which are collected in this set. This show isn't for everyone, but if it's for you, you're going to love it.
