Party Down: Season 1

Man, this is probably the raunchiest show I have ever seen.  Talk about your dick jokes and hilariously stupid characters.  This half-hour comedy centers around a group of disillusioned caterers who are all aspiring to do something else with their lives.  Ken Marino (an alumnus of MTV's "The State") plays the clueless team leader Ron who has "big" dreams of opening up his own fast-food franchise.  Ron decides to help out an old friend, Henry (played by the excellently sullen Adam Scott) by giving him a job since he can't find work as an actor anymore now that his 15 minutes of fame are up.  The supporting players include the always side-splitting Jane Lynch who plays a past-her-prime actress, Martin Starr who plays a pissed-off screenwriter, Ryan Hansen who plays a vain airhead with dreams of becoming a star, and Lizzy Caplan who plays a cute yet surly comedian.  From Rob Thomas, the creator of one of my favorite shows "Veronica Mars", comes one of the most wickedly funny shows on television.  Sign me up for Season 2.


4 out of 5 stars
