Dude… it couldn’t beat My Wife and Kids at #150 with a 0.03 rating.

Where we are, definitively, having fun yet.

I only heard of this show because Adam Scott was pushing it really hard on his Instagram, I'm amazed I never watched it when it was on! (Though, I didn't know anyone who had Starz back in the cable days.) I watched it over the last two days and it's now one of my favorite shows ever. Got me all nostalgic for those mid- to late-2000s shows like Happy Endings, Parks and Rec.

Gotta love that little gag with the bouncer: "Party Down... never heard of it, was it on cable or something?"

I agree, it felt a little slow and not as tight as the first two seasons, but like you said there had to be a lot of exposition. And if they got Casey back, I feel like it's good to make us wait for the reveal.

Same, especially Henry! I thought the whole point of the end of season 2 was that he would get back into acting and "make it."

But also, I think a key point of Party Down is that "making it" is elusive and hard to define.

rubbing hands together yes…

Dang I didn’t see that one. Like a 2012-era Tumblr text post.
