Sadly the answer is probably yes –that you have better things to do on a Friday night than watch one of the funniest shows on television. And while Im sure that’s somewhat true,thanks to the internet,DVR and Netflix it’s not too late to get into “Party Down“. The critically acclaimed sitcom,which focuses officially wraps its second season tonight at 10PM.
Tonight marks the triumphant return of Jane Lynch to the show,which has held up nicely this season despite her lame but likely profitable choice to leave Party Down for Glee. In the episode,Jane Lynch hires her former colleagues to cater her wedding,and much like every other episode of the show,hijinks ensue. Adam Scott,Ken Marino,Lizzy Caplan,Martin Starr,Ryan Hansen and Megan Mullally make up the insanely dysfunctional crew,who would prefer to be making it in Hollywood than serving in it. And with guest appearances from Steve Guttenberg,Kristen Bell,Patrick Duffy and Paul Scheer,to name a few,this show should be appointment TV. Season 3 isn’t a definite yet,as ratings are tricky on Starz and most of the cast are too busy actually scoring major gigs,but Im keeping my fingers crossed. As a handful of entertainment sites,like Movieline,are speculating that tonight’s episode could be Party Down’s last and providing pretty good reasoning,like losing a handful of the cast due to their major gigs,it would be incredibly sad to see another gem of a TV show leave the airwaves way too soon.
Check out the trailer for Season 2 and see what you have been missing. And don’t forget to tune in tonight at 10PM.
