Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is an American television series, created by and starring Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, which premiered February 11, 2007 on Adult Swim. The show, which expands on the live-action material featured in Heidecker and Wareheim's previous show, Tom Goes to the Mayor, consists of sketches, songs, and mock commercials. It features several characters and segments seen in Tom Goes to the Mayor, such as Gibbons, the "Channel 5 Married News Team", and the Cinco Corporation with its various useless products. New recurring characters and sketches include "Uncle Muscles Hour," a cable access variety program hosted by a gravelly-voiced "Weird Al" Yankovic and Channel 5 News Correspondent Dr. Steve Brule, played by John C. Reilly. The episodes are sold on iTunes and Xbox Live Marketplace, and can be viewed in their entirety on the Adult Swim website after initial airing (limited to certain countries).
The show features a variety of celebrity cameos from such actors and comedians as Maria Bamford, Michael Cera, David Cross, Will Forte, Zach Galifianakis, Neil Hamburger, David Liebe Hart, Tom Kenny, A.D. Miles, Bob Odenkirk, Brian Posehn, John C. Reilly, Paul Reubens, Fred Willard, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Jeff Goldblum, Rainn Wilson and Michael Q. Schmidt. The credits of the show include Tim Heidecker's father Rich saying, "Abso...lutely" at the end of each broadcast. This signoff for their projects and the name itself for "blank">Absolutely" productions stems from the answer given by the senior Heidecker during a family vacation in 1991 when asked to sum it up in two words. The full clip can be found on their timanderic.com DVD and also on _YouTube.
Halfway through the broadcasting of the first season, Cartoon Network picked up Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! for another season ordering as many as 30 new episodes. The second season began airing on November 18th, 2007, and recently finished airing. However, with what are now at least 20 new episodes in the works, it is apparent that there will be a third season in the future. Season one will be released on DVD in April 2008.
