In this episode we break down the pilot episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, and premiered on March 17, 2017. Following the success of the pilot (as part of Amazon’s “Pilot Season”), Amazon picked up the series for a two-season order. The first two Seasons are available now on Amazon Prime Video, and the third season is expected to premiere later in 2019.

As always, we begin by reading the series description: “Winner of 8 Emmy Awards. In 1958 New York, Midge Maisel's life is on track- husband, kids, and elegant Yom Kippur dinners in their Upper West Side apartment. But when her life takes a surprise turn, she has to quickly decide what else she's good at - and going from housewife to stand-up comic is a wild choice to everyone but her. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls).” I know this Amazon series description looks long, but try reading it at the pace that Amy Sherman-Palladino’s characters speak and it feels much shorter.

We also take a look at what a big production this is, with its lavish production and excellent dialogue. The cast is superb as well, including a stellar performance from Tony Shalhoub. At one point Mike’s excitement cannot be contained as he exclaims, “Dude, Monk is also on Amazon Prime!”

In addition to our detailed breakdown of the episode, Mike discusses his own experiences performing comedy. The conversation also addresses how the show approaches stand-up comedy, and the portrayal of comedian Lenny Bruce.
