Comments: When Party Down first premiered, I was excited more so because it was creator Rob Thomas' new show, rather than anything about the show itself. Thomas' last show was Veronica Mars, which is one of my all-time favorites and one of the better shows of the decade (at least in my opinion). Party Down's a whole different type of show, but it turned out to be a pretty damn good itself. It has some real depth beyond all the gags that occur, which always helps (plus it seems that everyone from Veronica Mars either stars or guest stars on the show). I only caught a few episodes when they were airing, so I jumped at the chance to see the season in one swoop, especially since Season 2 premieres next Friday (Walmart even released an exclusive edition with the first two episodes of the season, which I plan on watching when I'm done here). From what I've read, this will most likely be the last season (or the last with several of the regulars), so you better enjoy this little gem while it lasts. Since I've said that though, the show will probably last 10 seasons... but I wouldn't complain.
