Party Down (STARZ)
 

Did anyone watch this?

I checked it out because I saw an ad in TV Guide that said it was produced by Rob Thomas and Paul Rudd. The cast has a lot of familiar faces from Veronica Mars and a lot of people I knew from other shows. (including Lizzy Caplan and Jane Lynch).

It was about a group of caterers/bartenders who work parties in LA. Most of them are struggling actors. It was pretty funny.

The Starz Channel page has the full episode ep if anyone wants to check it out.

It's also airing on Channel 101 for Directv customers several times tomorrow.

I caught it the other day on 101 and thought it was alright. Not the best thing I've ever seen, but there is some promise, for sure. I always like Lizzy Caplan, too, so that is a nice bonus. Jane Lynch has always gotten on my nerves a bit, so hopefully she doesn't drag the show down too much for me.

2 episodes in, i'm quite liking the show, characters are interesting and its a nice simple premise which requires good performances.

It's not in your face comedy (like eastbound and down), but nice and subtle

First episode was pretty decent. Love the cast. Cant go wrong with Dick Casablancas.

How did I miss this? Stars a bunch of Rob Thomas groupies. I need in!!!!

Re: Party Down - New Series
 

I've been watching -- enjoyed what I've seen thus far. It's a good vehicle for Adam Scott (underrated, imo). It's better than Starz' other original comedy (Head Case).

Merged the two threads together.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I started to watch this because of Veronica Mars withdraw. 2 episodes in and it's pretty good.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Loved the first ep. have yet to watch ep 2. I think this is great stuff.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I've watched the first 2 episodes and think it's alright, but the first 2 plotlines felt like rejected Curb Your Enthusiasm scripts. It has a good cast, so hopefully the writing gets better.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Except every single person in this is funnier than Larry David on his best day.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Now that's funny

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

First off this show can't hold a candle to Curb Your Enthusiasm or Larry David.

The second episode was wayyyyyy better than the first, but still needs more jokes or something. Its more amusing than funny so far.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

The one that premiered last night (Senior singles seminar) was by far the best and funniest episode yet, imo.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

A pretty good show, but given the pedigree I expected more. Each episode has made me laugh though. Marino and Scott do a pretty good Carell and Krasinski (a comparison that has to be made).

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I'm amazed that Lizzy Caplan could still be that hot even wearing a White dress shirt and bow tie.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I've enjoyed what I've caught thanks to Netflix; but with Marino and Scott headlining this, I was expecting more laughs per minute.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Last episode with the reunion was awesome. I really wanted to see Ron get some from that lady !

This show has improved each ep and i believe it has been renewed

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Kristen Bell is guest starring this week. Get your DVR's ready.. and your hand cream. Or just your DVR's..

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

It's a shame that nobody is watching this (ratings are bad I hear). Hopefully the renewal is true -- it's my favorite new show (see my sig). :)

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I've watched the first 9 episodes on Netflix. This show is hilarious.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Just kept getting better with each episode, though I am still partial to Head Case. Not official yet, but Jane Lynch is going to be on "Glee" so they may not have her next year.

Jennifer Coolidge was great in the last episode, she had two hilarious lines.

"Dolphins can change a baby's diapers underwater"

"I want you to come see this mug, it has a staillion on it's back legs and it says....Follow Your Dreams..To The Max..Amen"

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

Hopefully they can work something out and she can make at least a few appearances.

But you're right Jennifer Coolidge was a very good replacement.

re: Party Down (STARZ)
 

I just watched all 9 episodes last night - this show is great. It's not a laugh a minute affair, but I really love it. The characters are great, the situations hilarious and the dialogue is sharp. Definitely telling my friends to check this one out.
