The series was created by Steve Dildarian, and is about a hapless man in his mid-20s named Tim (voiced by Dildarian) who lives in New York City with his girlfriend Amy. Throughout the series, Tim constantly finds himself in increasingly awkward situations in both his work and personal life.

On June 4, 2010, HBO announced it was canceling the show. There were rumors that it was going to be picked up by another network. On 16 August 2010, it was announced HBO had reversed their original decision to cancel the show, and as a result, a third season was ordered.
