Is this finally the end of "The Life and Times of Tim"? The frequently endangered animated comedy has reportedly been canceled again by HBO.
According to Variety, the Steve Dildarian-created comedy is done at HBO after three seasons. The last original episode of "The Life and Times of Tim" aired on February 17.
That seems like horrible news, but it's not like "The Life and Times of Tim" hasn't been canceled before.
In June of 2010, HBO pulled the plug on "Tim" after its second season, only to order a third season two months later. The long delay between the show's first season and its second season also led to cancellation rumors.
Even before that, "The Life and Times of Tim" bounced from FOX to Comedy Central to HBO during its development process and also shifted production hubs from Warner Brothers TV to MRC.
So who knows if this will be the last word.

If not, why not a webseries?

Mark Adult Swim or FX (language could be toned down without losing much effectiveness) would be a great fit.

This is one of my favorite shows. I understand why the public never picked up on it. But this is why we can usually count on HBO to keep it going for the fans.
Seeing Tim go out dressed as Marie is just not the end.
Right?
HBO? Please!

June 3, 2012 at 11:40AM EST Reply to CommentHBO's loss if you ask me. The show is absolutely brilliant. There's no element in it that is particularly new, but the end result is distinctly unique (beyond the nature of the animation) and ridiculously funny. I have no doubt that the show will come back somewhere after it gains more popularity, which it will as more people spread the word and watch it. Tim for the moment must remain half way between death and life under a giant 'O' building sign, like Shrodinger's cat, till some network makes the observation that the show is a gem.

June 14, 2012 at 12:57AM EST Reply to CommentHBO - You remember how Family Guy and Arrested Development didn't have high ratings, then got cancelled, then made a ton of money on DVDs and the network realized they made a horrible mistake. Don't let that happen to you. Word is spreading and i'm sure if you looked at your HBOGO stats you would see that. You have like 5 HBO stations. Find it a home.
