Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

Two episodes are available on Starz On Demand, also; this one, and also one with Steve Guttenberg, although I'll probably just watch them as they air.

Looking forward to catching this tonight! I like the cast picture, too.

Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

I know she was replaced, but anyone know if Jane Lynch shows up at all in the new season (I think I saw her in a promo).

Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

^ Yeah, I heard she shows up in the finale.

Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

Hilarious premiere. So glad this is back.

Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

Still love that Megans characters daughters name is Escapade.

Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

She was only replaced because she is doing Glee now but I saw the promo and she does guest star.
Looking forward to this.

Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

The weird thing is that the Steve Guttenberg episode is #5 this season, but that and the season premiere are the only ones up On Demand.

The Guttenberg episode is in the running as the series' best, so even though you're skipping forward a few episodes, it really is worth watching now. That's seriously one of the most indescribably hilarious half-hours of TV I've ever watched.

Re: Party Down -- Season Premiere -- "Jackal Onassis Backstage Party" -- 4/23/10
 

I found this episode funnier than most of season 1 (with perhaps the exception of Investors Dinner). Had the right amount of laughs and charm that I felt lacked at times last season.

BTW, episode 3's title looks awesome:

Party Down -- "Precious Lights Pre-School Auction" -- 4/30/10
 

<a href="http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n104/djariya/?action=view&current=PDS2_wallpaper1920x1200_2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n104/djariya/PDS2_wallpaper1920x1200_2.jpg" border="0" alt="Party Down"></a>

Synopsis:



This seems to have a little more interest than the other show Gravity amongst the Starz shows, so I will continue to do threads for this.

Re: Party Down -- "Precious Lights Pre-School Auction" -- 4/30/10
 

This is the episode that was posted on Netflix and is airing tonight. However, I noticed that an episode called "Steve Guttenberg's Birthday" is already available for On Demand.

Re: Party Down -- "Precious Lights Pre-School Auction" -- 4/30/10
 

I'm still frustrated at the low ratings this show is getting (not sure how it did last week). One of the top comedies currently airing. :up:

Re: Party Down -- "Precious Lights Pre-School Auction" -- 4/30/10
 

Bill Haverchuck is :lol: in this episode

Re: Party Down -- "Precious Lights Pre-School Auction" -- 4/30/10
 

I think the main problem is that it airs on Starz.

Re: Party Down -- "Precious Lights Pre-School Auction" -- 4/30/10
 

It was uneven for me but the last shot was great. "You'll never work in this town again!" [stares] "I know..."

Re: Party Down -- "Precious Lights Pre-School Auction" -- 4/30/10
 

That sums up my reaction too. I would rank it as one of the weaker eps overall -- not bad, just less great than usual -- but that last line was definitely the standout.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Starz cancels Party Down after 2 seasons. Not surprising, but it's still sad to see one of the stronger comedies on premium cable go. Rob Thomas reacts.

Starz also canceled Gravity. Eric Schaeffer just can't catch a break (FX canceled Starved after 1 season as well).

74k tuned into the Party Down finale (54k tuned into the Gravity finale).

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

FX should pick it up and pair it with It's Always Sunny. Not going to happen, but y'know, just saying.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Small numbers there, but I loved the show and cast.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I just finished watching season one and loved it. Jennifer Coolidge was hilarious in the last couple of episodes.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

It sucks but it was bound to happen. About two-thirds of the cast were leaving anyway because of other projects including Adam Scott who was the lead.

It had a great 2-year run, though.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I'll start watching season two this weekend on Netflix.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I thought Adam Scott was the only one that was confirmed for "other projects"

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I thought Season 2 was a bit weak but there were some really great bits and am sad to see it's been canceled.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Crap, Chris Albrecht is president at Starz!?
Fuck that doucehbag. Prepare for Spartacus to get cancelled.

Oh and 74k may have watched the finale live but it was available On Demand for two weeks prior to that. Just sayin'

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Ryan Hansen is a regular on NBC's "Friends With Benefits" also. Now, how long that will last, who knows.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Sad that this is being cancelled but shows like Two and a Half Men continue to thrive.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

:( This is a very sad night. This was one of "my shows." It's not really surprising and I'm glad that at least it ended on a good note.

I love how everything I read regarding this cancellation attributes it's cancellation to the fact that Adam Scott is now on Parks and Recreation (another one of "my shows"). I really doubt his character has more than a few more episodes. That being said, now that Party Down is out I really, really hope the Ben character stays on Parks.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Scott will be a regular cast member on Parks replacing Brendanawicz. Lowe is just a guest star though.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I saw this as a show able to host a revolving door of characters. Sure, some characters would have to remain consistent (Ron and Martin, perhaps), but you could easily rotate the support every few episodes, I'm sure.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Where did you hear/read this?

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I didn't read anything about Adam Scott joining Parks fulltime. All the trades have talked about Rob Lowe joining the cast fulltime after he quit Brothers and Sisters. And yes, the dude who played Mark quit Parks.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

From TVFanatic.com;

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Nooooooo!!!!!!

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I started watching this based on a friend's recommendation, and I have to admit...I wasn't excited about watching it when he described it to me.

However, I think that after 2-3 episodes, most people would have enjoyed the hell out of this show. I'm really sad that it's canceled. Kyle and Roman's interactions were classic TV, in my opinion.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Just finished Season 2. Loved it.
the Last episode was hilarious. I'll miss them all!

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

FYI - Season 2 will be released on DVD on September 28, 2010
