But in Tim’s world, the simplest day-to-day decisions always seem to get in his way. Part of the problem is that Tim has a habit of befriending bizarre and unreliable characters, each of whom are capable of getting Tim into (and sometimes out of) serious trouble. Cases in point: Stu, Tim’s best friend, would rat him out in a heartbeat for a chance with Amy, while The Boss, despite no longer being Tim’s boss, returns this season just as offensive as in seasons past. Tim can’t help but take the wrong advice from the wrong people, whom he encounters over the course of ten half-hour episodes, each consisting of two stories.
