Is it weird that this is my feel-good inspirational show?

I only have maybe 4 more episodes of season 2 and I just noticed that with a gasp, because I have to stretch it and make it last.

Not because I enjoy the comedy, but because Maron is in some weird way probably my chief role model at this point. Last episode with his family all gathered together, where he can't even take a hit of weed with them because as effed up as they are he's somehow ironically worse than them, because of his addict past... I'm not a addict myself and too chicken sh.t to even risk it, but I was like, "This dude is a brave, courageous motherf#cker."

I don't even laugh anymore. I watch this like Oprah or something. #WhenTheSitcomGetsReal

Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness.

Yeah it sort of is - because everytime I watch it, I feel like 'my life might not be awesome but at least I'm not Marc Maron". Makes me feel good.

I've so enjoyed this damn show--both seasons. It's so full-on and full-up of humanity. Bitter, sweet, real, silly, profound, etc. I could go on...

"He who swaps his liberty for the promise of 'security' deserves neither." Ben FranklinYou are absolutely right. He is an inspiration. And it must have been very very hard for him to get clean. But then he has John Belushi and John Candy as reverse role models!!!
