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.

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

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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'

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.

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.

From TVFanatic.com;
More recently, it was announced that Lowe will leave Brothers & Sisters this spring and recur on this NBC sitcom. We can also now confirm that Scott has been cast as a new series regular.

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.
