Party Down? Don't mind if I do.

Party Down? What's that? Oh, just the best show to hit the movie channel network Starz since....well...its probably the best show they have ever come up with. Starz really isn't the "HBO" of great programing yet. I do say, "yet," because if they continue making shows like "Party Down" they will be.

Party Down (if you haven't went to Wikipedia or IMDB already) is about a group of misfits that work for a catering company in LA called (you guessed it) Party Down. Now I haven't worked in the food industry in LA, but this can't be too far off the boat.

First, you have the boss who is a former class clown, and who is highly influenced by motivational tapes. With his newly found knowledge, he tries to inspire his crew to do their best. In turn, trying to get offered the general manager position of a new "all you can eat" soup and salad restaurant HIS boss is trying to open.

Second, the other main characters are struggling actors and comedians, which isn't a stretch for the workforce here in LA. Everyone here is an "actor," "comedian" and a "model." They just happen to be serving you crab won tons while they wait for their agent to call them back. (Reminds me, call agent back Monday).

The show taking place in LA, is perfect for the concept. The situations given are very different from the week before because of their surroundings. Weddings, Birthday Parties, and Business events all run differently and Party Down definitely shows how a group of wanna-be stars make it happen even if that's not what they want to do. If done properly this show could last quite a long time.

The cast includes Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, and a few Judd Apatow movies), Lizzy Caplan (True Blood), and Adam Scott (Step Brothers, Knocked Up). Oh yea, Fred Savage directs for the show. How awesome is that?

So go get Starz on-demand, watch all of season 1, and wait for season 2. I have a feeling its only going to get better.
