'''The Tom Teufel Show''' is a [[Besmenia|Besmenian]] adult animated sitcom. The series is based of the [[Tom Teufel Comics]] Series created by [[Viktor Laffmeyer]].
==Plot==
==Production==
In October 1995 the film producer Ivar Zimmermann became aware of Viktor Laffmeyer. Zimmermann had been interested in a new series and he liked the Tom Teufel comics. Laffmeyer also showed interest in a television series about Tom Teufel. The two were able to win [[Flingor Studios]] and [[BRF]] as production companies. 

''[[Tom and the Neo-Ochsenbeinians]]'' which is based on the comic story of the same name in Tom Teufel Comic #1, was the first episode that was broadcasted on February 15th, 1997 by [[BRF 2]] . An early version of this episode, which is about 10 minutes long, was shown in December 1996 as a short film before the film ''[[Death to my Life as Teenager]]'' in the cinemas. This version is known these days as the pilot of the series.
