Nothing has changed since Party Down went off the air
In 2009, Party Down felt like lightning in a bottle: an ensemble comedy starring some of the heaviest hitters in the industry, created by Veronica Mars genius Rob Thomas (no, not that Rob Thomas), alongside John Enbom, Dan Etheridge, and Paul Rudd (yes, that Paul Rudd). The show, which ran for two seasons on Starz, told the story of a group of cater waiters in Los Angeles, budding, embittered creative types struggling to make ends meet in a town that hates them. You had a pre-Parks and Recreation Adam Scott, with a post-Mean Girls Lizzy Caplan, alongside pre-Silicon Valley Martin Starr and post-Veronica Mars Ryan Hansen, not to mention a pre-Glee Jane Lynch and perpetual genius (and former member of The State) Ken Marino.
