Reviews

Mike-DD View seem to be polarised over how good or bad this show is. I think it is a mixture of both. Talking about growing pains is nothing new, even a reality TV show about it is nothing really new. How it is done here - Bo as Zach hiring his own crew to make himself famous - that is new and what makes this show fun. I especially like how every single episode has a different opening song-and-"dance" title scene depending on the theme of the episode. That was uniquely done.I find it sad though that a show with such potential repeats so much material from other shows. Sure, there's only so much you can do with growing pains, first loves, typical nerdy teen trying to break out situations, but the comedy lies in the execution. It could have been done so much better, instead of relying on clichés.Maybe it's good that it only lasted a season. I would hate to see this descend into TV series hell - this way, many can still leave with somewhat positive impressions of the show.
Michael Price Let me preface this review by saying that Bo Burnham is my favorite comedian. "Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous" is a hilarious show that makes me laugh every time I watch it. There is tons of humor, and a lot of heart as well. Every episode has a bit of drama as Zach Stone tries to find his place in the world. The humorous situations find meaning in Zach's quest to become famous, but it also has a great deal of depth in his interpersonal relations, especially with his family and his best friend/love interest Amy. Though Zach can be flippant and immature, he always comes to realize a greater message through his family's support, and his antics serve to show how his family and friends love him no matter what. It's a great show with a lot of heart, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun situational comedy, as well as fans of Bo Burnham such as myself. 10/10
GoldenBoughSwing There are plenty of variables that would make one think this show could be horrible: 1. It's on MTV 2. It's about a teenager trying to be famous 3. It's about reality TV 4. It's on MTVBut the show is a surprisingly funny AND poignant satire/parody of people's lust for fame. I would've thought the main character would be annoying to watch, but the way the show is written, the awkward situations he gets himself into are hilarious. I'm a fan of awkward humor shows (ie The Office, Peep Show, etc.) where it makes you cringe sometimes because the situations get so awkward for the characters.And the show's poignancy comes from how the main character's selfish conquest for fame affects his most important, long term relationships with family and friends.
evilherbivore I have a 3-episode policy when it comes to new series before I decide to ditch it. I am a huge fan of Bo Burnham's comedy, so I was really looking forward to this series but so far I've been pretty disappointed. It's just painfully awkward and sad and cringe-inducing. The only likable characters are Zach's nerdy 2 best friends and the whole thing is just kind of boring and unfunny. Considering Burnham's level of comic genius outside this show, I'm a little confused as to how this pilot made it to series.I'll definitely keep buying Bo's albums and show tickets, but I'm sad to say I don't think this series will make the 3 episode cut. Hoping the next show to come his way will be more on par with his talents.
