Anybody Watching Party Down?

I didn't see a thread on Party Down, but I was curious what people thought of it. I just got Starz and I didn't even know Starz had original content.

That being said, i thought the first season was HILARIOUS. I thought it was funny, well acted, interesting and just overall a lot of fun. I saw all the episodes on On Demand and couldn't stop watching since I started. I read that it was renewed for another season.

Anyone else watch?

I haven't heard about this show. I was watching original content for a fake reality show about a rock band on the Independent Film Channel.

Yeah i watched the whole first season, and thought it was very good.

I believe the whole season is available for Download/Streaming from Netflix.

Good to hear it was renewed. It is very quirky but the foundation is awesome for different story lines, and it was cool to see wasshername in the last episode.

That would be Kristin Bell. The best part is that if it's up your ally, you should be hooked within 2 episodes. Some fun facts about the show:

Co-Created by Paul Rudd
Cameos by stars such has Krisin Bell and Brecken Meyer
Fred Savage directed several of the episodes
Also has Jayne Lynch (the electronics store boss for the 40 Year Old Virgin)
Co-Created and partially written by Rob Thomas, who created and wrote for Veronica Mars

You are correct, season one is available "Watch It Now" via Netflix. I wish I had know, the On Demand quality is terrible.

This is a really solid show that could probably use some support, very much worth people giving it a shot.

I saw a couple of episodes that were playing on DirecTV and I really liked it.

At first it seemed like a Veronica Mars reunion (not even counting the Kristen Bell guest spot). Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Ryan Hansen and Ken Marino were all on VM, so it was fun to see them again.

I really wanted to see the KBell episode, but it seems like DirecTV isn't playing that one.
