For the second time, HBO has cancelled The Life & Times of Tim. The final episode of season three aired on February 17th.
The cable channel first pulled the plug on the show back in June 2010 after two seasons and 20 episodes. Creator and star Steve Dildarian told us that he was searching for a new home for the show. Options included Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and TBS.
On August 16, 2010, HBO reversed their decision to cancel the TV series and ordered a third season of 10 episodes. Season three premiered on December 16, 2011 and ran on Friday nights.
The ratings were less than impressive. The penultimate episode attracted just 101,000 total viewers and a meager 0.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
There’s no word yet if another home for The Life & Times of Tim will be sought but it seems highly unlikely.
What do you think? Will you miss this animated series? Did HBO make the right call by cancelling Tim?

This show is super funny. I started watching only a year ago and had no idea it was made. I’ve seen ever episode and rewatch them. I wish they would bring it back.
I loved this show, I didn’t think it would be as funny as it was! I wish season 4 could have happened!
HBO made a big mistake canceling the life and times of Tim. Show was hilarious very witty couldn’t stop watching it. Please bring it back it was awesome.
And now we have Ten Year Old Tom!!!
I can’t believe this didn’t get better ratings. I have to believe HBO failed to market this properly or there was just too much going on at the time for it to get noticed. Somebody needs to bring this back.
Personally I think the chanell underestimates the potential of the show. the life & times of tim is fresh and people still need to adjust to the show as “we” fans did. A little push in the advertising of the show would change the ratings into better ones.
I have mixed feelings. I just watched the 3rd season and I believe because Steve Dildarian knew that his show was getting cancelled so he kills off his own main character with the giant O of Omnicorp crushing him. Brilliant, yet it’s ******** the show got cancelled. It was witty, had good jokes and the character dialogue was excellent. Another example of a good TV show getting cancelled because of some other idiots opinions. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
The show was great!! I would love more seasons!!!!
Very funny ,lots of laughs,,,,,,,,,,,cult classic if you do not make anymore seasons…………..
Bring back Tim!!
There’s no god, really
My son and I loved poor soul Tim and his weird friends and coworkers. We hated to see him go. We hope he comes back one day,
Bring the Life and Times of Tim back for Season 4 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just love Tim. Sad to see the good ones die young.
we love The Life and Times Of Tim and all his interesting people that he meets or works with we bought every season has been made and we watching them all the time because there isnt new episodes. Please make Tim come back. We are lost without his sense of humor in misfortune we love all the things that happen to poor Tim.
