WATCH THIS: Party Down

Remember Party Down?

No?

Oh, you must. It's that fantastically funny show about wanna-be-actors-turned-caterers that premiered last year... it was created by, among others, Paul Rudd and Rob Thomas (the other one, the Veronica Mars one) and stars Adam Scott (the male nurse in Knocked Up... you've probably seen him in something), Ken Marino (The State!), Lizzy Caplan (Janis Ian from Mean Girls, Sara from Freaks and Geeks), Martin Starr (Bill from Freaks and Geeks), Ryan Hansen (Dick Casablancas from Veronica Mars), and Jane Lynch.


Just look at this compelling picture of beloved actors you probably recognize.

Yeah... she is on Glee now, and yeah, she is funny on it, I guess... that's (one of the reasons) why I hate Glee so much, cos it took her away from Party Down...

No, no, Party Down wasn't canceled. The second season premiers on April 23rd! And you totally must remember it! It's so good! The writing is consistently hil-ar-ious (and wonderfully wry), there's continuity and story-arcs between episodes, the characters are relatable for anyone who's ever thought they could succeed in the arts (and of course learned they couldn't) or anyone who's ever had to have a shitty job just to get by... It's the best! And it has lots of amazing guest stars, too... so many people from Veronica Mars, Freaks and Geeks, and The State... Are you sure you've never heard anything about it?

No? Well... watch this clip:



See! It's so good! You should totally start watching it. Each episode takes place during the course of a catering gig... kind of like The Office in that you really only see these characters in the context of their workplace (and in uniform!), but you still really get to know them. Hurry and watch so you have time to catch up before the second season.

Oh, it airs Fridays at 10 pm on Starz.

Yeah, I don't get Starz either.
