Television's Best Kept Secret

PartyDown_S1.jpg

I don't know how many of you watch this or even know about it. But it's one of the funniest shows on air. It's on NETFLIX INSTANT QUEUE or if you like Dvd's you can also buy the first season. It airs on Starz.
The sextet of aspiring Hollywood actors and writers, as well as drifting lost souls, work small-time catering gigs while hoping for their break or some positive change in their lives. Each episode finds the team working a new event, and inevitably getting tangled up with the colorful, affluent guests and their absurd lives.

It has GUEST STARS every episode

J. K. Simmons, Kristen Bell, George Takei, Enrico Colantoni, Rick Fox, Molly Parker, Breckin Meyer, Rob Corddry,, Ed Begley, Jr., Jason Dohring, Ken Jeong , Stormy Daniels, Kyle Bornheimer, Andrea Savage

New episodes get put on Netflix Instant Queue after they air

So watch it!

    I'd watch a Daily Bugle sitcom with J.K. Simmons.

    wouldn't even need to go out of the office, never need to see Spider-Man, maybe Peter Parker would show up once in awhile but mostly it would just be these relatively normal people dealing with their crazy boss and having to get pictures of supervillains somehow.

    I think that'd be really funny.

    I actually watched part of the first episode of this last night

    but it was late and I was sleepy so I didn't really find it funny

    but I think I'll try again

    because it's supposed to be pretty great

    First episode isn't the best.

    I think if you stick with it though, you'll like it a lot at least by the 4th episode (which is genius). Also, each episode is pretty short.

    I loved The Shield

    I liked a lot of the characters who weren't on the strike team

    Like the black cop, or the black lady cop, or the nerdy detective, or the white lady cop

    Actually, by the end the only people I didn't like on the strike team were Vic and Shane

    But you're not really supposed to like them

    No on, only Jane Lynch is gone

    everyone else is still in the Second Season.

    It's the third season that will suck. 3 of the main characters have deals that they're taking.

    starz refused to pick it up for a third season when they finished shooting, instead choosing to wait and see on reception, so basically everyone was unemployed as of then and are obviously hot commodities because their show is awesome

    Yes this is exactly what the Shield is about.

    Vic to an extent is likable, but at his core he is a self centered individual.

    I just finished the J.K. Party boat episode and I'm still not that impressed. It's enjoyable, but Adam Scott is perhaps too toned down for my tastes, and I'm not that fond of that fond of the other three guys. The show needs more Jane and Lizzy.

    Still, it's a good filler show to watch and hopefully it keeps improving?
