Official thread for Marc Maron's show, coming to IFC this spring.

Quote:
Remember back in March when we told you that we are turning comedian Marc Maron’s life and career and relationship and turning it into a television show? Good news: Not only has Maron’s autobiographical single-camera series for IFC wrapped its first ten-episodes, but it also has it’s very first teaser trailer. If you need a reminder, “Maron” centers around a guy who records a podcast from his garage, has comically tense interactions with the guests on his show and navigates his tense relationship with his much-younger girlfriend. Fans of Maron’s hugely successful WTF podcast and his standup comedy will recognize this concept. Trust us, we leave his neurosis intact, because untouched, Maron is uniquely fascinating, absolutely compelling and brutally funny.

As long as it's not a pure copy of Louie, I think it can work. Also if the guests are good, which I'm sure they will be.

Having watched the episode, I think it has clear potential. Marc is not a great actor, and I get the feeling that he's trying to create his own "Louie" here which may or may not hurt the show. Was it laugh out loud funny? Not at all. But it was an interesting bit of scenes and I think that, if given the time, this could be a show I'll like.

This is the one I watched. Since my last post about it, I've actually come to respect the episode more. Despite some less than stellar acting, I'm excited about the show.

i just feel like he's trying to hard. i really hope he doesn't do that wrap up, talking into the mic, looking at the camera at the end of every episode. i think this would work better if he mad it more joke-y and not try to emulate Louie so much.

Ha, I kind of likes the wrap up at the end of the episode. Sort of reminded me of Frasier.
