Dehrik Farrington watching the new episodes as we speak. ha ha. Show is hilarious
Erik A. Carlson Just finished a day-long season one marathon on Netflix streaming through my PS3. Great, great show, laughed my ass off. I'll be subscribing to Starz in time for the start of season two this spring. Kudos on great comedy, hope to see more former State folks on this season.
Jennifer Brown One of the funniest fucking shows.

Whitney Matheson of USA Today's Pop Candy column says Party Down was her 8th best TV show of '09: "The cable network scored with a well-written comedy about L.A. caterers
and a too-good-to-be-true cast (Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr,
Ken Marino, the now-Glee-ful Jane Lynch)."

411 Mania shows the love with listing PD as its #4 comedy of the year; above CYE, among others: "Welcome to the annual award we here at TTTP (Me: their TV column is
named Two Tivos to Paradise) like to call, "The Best Show You're Not
Watching." Party Down is a very, very funny series on Starz that
features an amazing cas...t including Ken Marino, Lizzy Caplan, Adam
Scott, Ryan Hansen, and the always hysterical Jane Lynch doing some
heavy improv as members of a catering crew in LA (which means most of
them are struggling actors). The guest star list was well crafted,
which is what you'd expect from a show whose executive producers
include Rob Thomas and Paul Rudd. It doesn't hurt that the show has a
very strong Veronica Mars blood line, with VM creator Thomas, VM writer
John Enbom as showrunner, and too many cast members to list. Even
Veronica herself, Kristen Bell, showed up in a killer part, one she
will reprise in the show's second season. Get on the bandwagon now, my
friends!"
Jeri Funny funny stuff. The 10 episodes are so good, it's one of my favorite shows already. Can't wait for the second season! ♥
Laura When will the Season 1 DVD set be released? Amazon is being cagey...

TelevisionaryBlog adds this nice stuff: "Starz' comedy Party Down rendered the mundane quality of the life of a
cater-waiter to comic effect, transforming the overqualified crew of
Party Down into poster children for slackerdom and reveling in a
scripted looseness that felt almost improvised. With fly-on-the-wall
precision..., Party Down nailed the frustrations of 20 and 30-somethings in the name tag-wearing workplace and mixed up a
batch of comedy and tragedy in equal measure."

As 2009 begins to wind down, I figured now was the perfect time as any to look back at the series that that have entertained and inspired me over the past calendar year.And what a year it was for the television industry, which was (and is) still recovering from the writers strike of 2007/08. ...

Alan Sepinwall, Newark Star-Ledger on PD's inclusion in his top 20: "A "Taxi" for the 21st century, this surly, biting comedy follows a team
of LA cater/waiters, most of them killing time while waiting for their
big break in showbiz, and the one guy (Adam Scott) whom the Hollywood
machine already chewed up and spit out. S...etting each episode at a
different kind of catered affair - a gay wedding, a porn awards
afterparty, a sparsely attended Sweet 16 - gave the show an anarchic,
anything-goes feel, and provided opportunities for the great cast
(including a pre-"Glee" Jane Lynch) to bounce off memorable guest turns
from the likes of Steven Weber, JK Simmons and Kristen Bell."

Paul Hanlin Jr Mo Ryan of the Chicago Tribune comes through in her year-end wrapup: "This is what cable TV often does (and thank goodness): It takes a premise that feels played out and creates something fresh and entertaining from it. During the last decade or so, there have been dozens of shows set in the entertainment industry, bu...t few have captured the scuffling at its lower reaches with both insider knowledge and bemused insight. "Party Down" was a shaggy, charming ensemble comedy that got better by the week, and its party-of-the-week format offered plenty of opportunities for the show's talented stars and guest actors to shine."

The thought of coming up with a year-end Top 10 list gave me headaches for weeks. I just could not whittle my favorite TV of the year down to 10 shows. I'm relieved, then, that my editors relented and let me expand my list to 15 choices. ...
