This show is meh. I've only seen a few episodes but I'll probably watch the rest, what else am I gonna do during meals while grinding? Lizzy Caplin really stood out as super hot to me the second I saw her. Forgot that I saw her boobies on True Blood. Will have to watch again. Ken Marino does his job. Frack you as usual Dids, the person I get the most enjoyment from has been Jane Lynch. Overall, it has a great cast and there is nothing wrong with how any of the individuals are acting, but I'm just not enjoying the way they mesh together. Not sure how you can compare a show like this to 'Sunny'. There were times I was literally lying on the floor almost passed out I was laughing so hard at 'Sunny' during the first 4 seasons.

Been awhile since I've seen season 1, but I don't remember Megan Mullally's character at all. Is she brand new to the show? If so she is a much better replacement for Jane Lynch than Stifler's mom was.

She is new the cast this season.

The Gutte was pretty funny. Henry's reaction when faced with the legendary Guttenberg member was priceless.

I thought Lizzy Caplan looked frumpy in the first episode. New hair or something

REally short bangs. Its not a good look for anybody.

What episode was this, are these available in advance or something?

It is available OnDemand. I assumed that it had already aired as I don't watch the original showings and just catch them later.

yeah, the Guttenberg ep isn't until later in the season, although I think Starz is streaming it on their website.

Oh wow just saw a preview for this show for the first time. I am the biggest state superfan ever. Is Ken Marino good in this?

Everyone is good in this. Main cast, guest stars, everyone.

i think he's clearly the funniest character.

Season 2, Episodes 1 and 2 are on netflix watch instantly now.

Wow, I thought this episode was awesome. Glad to see another J.K. Simmons cameo. Bunch of great parts, but I think my favorite was when Kyle owned Roman with his acting. "Just a haircut, huh? MASTER CLASS"

for sure. He's just so pathetic, constantly worried about his plans falling apart, constantly being humiliated, in new ways and on new levels. He perpetually acts like he's trying to cover up for something, even when there's nothing to cover up.

"If you tell your mother about this, I will... just... destroy you!"

The Roman/Kyle exchange was funny but the rest of this episode seemed a bit forced. Also, the movie producer character was hilarious when he appeared in season 1 but it feels like a desperation move to keep bringing him back.

I get that it's the point of her, but every time Megan Mullally is on screen, I want to run away. I had the same problem with Jane Lynch as well- so maybe it's just me, but I dislike how they just keep inserting an annoying old lady into that spot. (and Lynch was 100x better).

i thought lynch was great. Mullally's OK.

I thought ep 1 was fantastic with the McPoyle dude. He was great.

It's not the polite conversation room.

The last episode of the season(series?) Party Down is catering Jane Lynch's wedding.

Wow, just finished watching all of season 1 and the first 2 eps. of season 2. What a great show. All the characters are great, the writing/dialogue is crisp and funny and all of the jokes are spot on.

I love Jane Lynch in everything she does, especially this show, and Jennifer Coolidge was a reasonable analog. (I loved when they revealed that she's the one who ran over Jane's character and then gave her a copy of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance") But I agree with posts above, Megan Mullaly just doesn't cut it for me. She's awkward and unfunny.

As for the IASIP comparison: IASIP has a special weirdness/absurdity factor that Party Down doesn't have. PD tends to the sad clown comedy while IASIP has more of zany, slapstick humor. I think It's Always Sunny wins out on pure laughs throughout each episode and PD wins on heart.

Mullaly was terrible in the orgy ep imo.

Everything else was awesome.

I liked Mullaly in the first two episodes, but in this episode she was more pathetic than funny. The show hits some beats so well I was dying the first time Henry said "Yes, I understand"

haha orgy episode was amazing

i hate the old lady
