Television's Best Kept Secret

zimfan

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 love Party Down.

Peter Ebel

I'm watching the Shield. I hate every character. Maybe it gets better?

zimfan

J.K. Simmons was probably my favorite guest star.

He was hilarious

Peter, watch Party Down

It's just such a good show I had to expose it

Chompskers.

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

Ubik

Lizzy Caplan is hella hot

Kuribo's Shoe

Michael Chiklis will always be the commish to me

Chompskers.

also this thing with episodes going up on netflix right after they air is pretty rad and I hope it happens to more shows

zimfan

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.

Chompskers.

ok

I will try it again

I was watching at three in the morning and was pretty out of it

hopefully after finals though

but who knows I am so easily distracted today

its like I want to not do well

Hell yes I would actually be able to follow television shows regularly if they went up on instant

And now they're playing rap metal. Well, that's the end of that.

Ubik

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

He's great in this show

Especially on a show where he gets involved with a mob boss who wants Screenwriting advice from him

she was that stupid good looking girl they tried to make look trendy in Cloverfield, right?

such an annoying character

I was so glad when she exploded

Balefuego

I watched the first episode of this because satans made me.

I will watch more at some point, I promise!

Who the hell is actually going to be in the second season? The first one was great but isn't the whole cast of the first season on other projects and what not?

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.

satansfingers

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

zimfan

Hey Satans

I get to see FNL's season premiere this friday!

I'm excited.

lostwords

love this show. best episode was the steve weber and the russion mob party.

or maybe the porn party.

but yeah, dunno if it'll last past this season. adam scott is gonna be a regular on parks and recreation, which is gonna be awesome.

zimfan

lostwords, I like you, you know what's what

lostwords

hi5! i will basically watch lizzie caplan in anything she does

i'm just glad they have it on instant, since i had to take off movie channels on cable. also glad that instant has archer, i tell you what.

Chompskers.

instant has Archer?

I did not know this

Wow, you said something almost straight. Now quickly mention feeling fat after eating icecream under your snuggie watching Gilmore Girls or something.

i'm a real boy!

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.

New Episode is up on Netflix Instant

The Black Hunter

I work for Hyatt Catering


I would either love this show, or despise it with the core of my being

The Black Hunter

I checked it out on youtube and there doesn't seem to be nearly enough soul sucking backbreaking labour

Septus

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?

Nogs

the premise of this sounds a lot like the british show 'Extras'
