Veronica Mars fans will probably like Party Down since it's co-created by Rob Thomas along with John Enbom, Dan Etheridge and Paul Rudd. It stars Ken Marino (Vinnie Van Lowe from VM) and Ryan Hanson (Dick Casablancas from VM), Jane Lynch (Best in Show, 40 Year Old Virgin), Lizzie Caplan (Mean Girls, True Blood, Freaks and Geeks) Adam Scott (Knocked Up) and Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up). Also for VM fans, Enrico Colantoni guest stars in the first episode. The show is about a bunch of people working for a Party Place while trying to make it in some aspect of show business. It premieres this Friday (3/20) but Cinema Blend has the entire first episode posted now. Last Edited By: moviegirl11 03/18/09 5:35 PM. Edited 1 time.

Granted, I'm biased (a big fan of RT's work) but this is gonna work well. An outstanding cast, a great concept, and isn't trying too hard to be funny - it just is. I just really hope that they are gonna post every episode online...

Then I think, no wait, this is the Wendy's guy. Then I realize that's DAVE Thomas. Then I remember Dave Thomas was also one part of Bob And Dave McKenzie in the 80s, but that's not the Wendy's guy. And then I'm totally confused and lose my train of thought.

And I've only just started the second ep! Love it! VM Reunion. Exclamation point! I'd not even heard of this show until now. And was I mistaken or is Mr. Mars packin??

I love all the interactions between the cater-waiters and the guests at the parties. It's so great seeing all the 'Veronica Mars' alums on the show as well! The added bonus of Lizzy Caplan and Jane Lynch is also quite welcome. Are we having fun yet?!

Posts: 126 (05/25/09 12:01 PM) I don't get most of the jokes Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Was it the season finale ? it did looked like it. This show started slow, but the last 4-5 episodes were hilarious !

Nice of him to finally come through and pony up cash for Rons dream. The Sweet Sixteen was the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time. The rappers and Ron talking about Souper Crackers was hilarious!

Kristen Bell was SO awesome in that part. "This isn't fuckin' baseball, weaselface, it's catering!" It was a bit of a bummer not to have Constance these past couple episodes but Jennifer Coolidge was a fun addition. lol that they became roommates after she hit her with her car. Looking forward to a next season if there is one. It was a bit of a bitch move for Casey to go off on that cruise ship gig after getting Henry to not move back in with his parents in the HS reunion episode. I'm sure her career's going to take off there I also think all of their efforts will fail horribly (Ron @ Souper Crackers, Kyle's base-jumping movie, etc) which means they will all end up back at Party Down but with Henry as team leader instead. It's also possible they could just completely re-cast the show if they wanted if one of them suddenly became successful. I'm sure that's how it works with most catering places down in L.A.

I h.eart both shows, but she will definitely be missed here. I hope they make it so the Constance became a big celebrity after all these years...by having a sex tape get released, lol. The elderly version of Paris Hilton!
