Another reason Louie turns me off.

These days I have little patience for these characters.
I don't know what you guys are talking about. Louie gets laid an awful lot.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm sure there's plenty of room for both of these guys and their creative output. I've never seen Maron. But I think Louie is one of the absolute best shows in history of television. It's goddamn genius. If Maron is even half as good, it's got to be an amazing show.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Maron's show is nowhere near as good. There's no contest. If you watched a few episodes of Maron, you'd be scratching your head as to how this is even a debate.
Did you ever watch any of Easy on Netflix? Maron's episode was a lot of fun. It made me want to watch his show.

I did not, but I am familiar with it. Different animals. Maron's show is an extension of his podcast. He plays a slightly fictionalized version of himself. The stories are fairly conventional in their delivery. There's nothing interesting about the directing. The editing is downright amateurish at times. It's not a bad show; it certainly has its charms, particularly season 4. But it's a far cry from Louise fully-realized vision.
Cool. I'll give it a go one of these days.

The song? In Donna's living room? Because if that's what you're talking about and you think it's bad, then I'm not sure there's hope for our friendship, Len.
