- Tom Goes to the Mayor started as a web video featured on Channel101.com and after being seen by comedian/producer Bob Odenkirk a second web short was made called "Tom Goes to the Mayor Returns" which featured Bob's friend David Cross. This was then shown to Cartoon Network where they greenlighted it to become a tv show. These web shorts are featured on the DVD of the complete series.
- The show is set in a fictional town called Jefferton, a small, generic town apparently modeled after real-life suburbs in California (according to a DVD commentary). Most of the episode plots revolve around Jefferton citizen Tom Peters going to The Mayor of Jefferton with an idea, and The Mayor ends up messing up Tom's idea somehow and ends up getting Tom into serious trouble. The show was first produced under Dipshot Films and later under Tim & Eric's own Absolutely Productions.

- The show is set in a fictional town called Jefferton, a small, generic town apparently modeled after real-life suburbs in California (according to a DVD commentary). Most of the episode plots revolve around Jefferton citizen Tom Peters going to The Mayor of Jefferton with an idea, and The Mayor ends up messing up Tom's idea somehow and ends up getting Tom into serious trouble. The show uses a dry, almost dark humor, and has very little nice, innocent, pretty, or happy aspects to it. Situations in the show are often "bad situations made worse," according to DVD commentary by Tim & Eric, and many of the settings in town are intentionally made as horrible as possible, such as the Peters' home. The show has illustrated, colored backgrounds, and the characters are depicted in photographs, then put through the "photocopy" filter in Photoshop, and made blue. Sometimes the characters are further edited, to give them a more "ugly" or "weird" appearance. The characters are "animated" by using different photographs. Certain scenes are live-action -- often these are the scenes that appear on a TV screen, such as Channel 5 Married News Team segments. The show was first produced under Dipshot Films and later under Tim & Eric's own Absolutely Productions.
