I forgot there was a Party Down episode of Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes On Television, in addition to that one episode of Childrens Hospital.

There's probably other shows that have been randomly brought back as many, if not more, times as this one, but I think it's a testament to the cast's chemistry that they've had so many returns already.

Which is a long way of saying that there's no way, no loving way, that Lizzie Caplan doesn't have a thirty second cameo of some kind, even if it's just over zoom.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

What's an RDD? It's a huge bummer for sure. She is funny as hell and was a great character. I hope they gave her char a good send off

I'm rewatching this for the first time in 10+ years after forgetting most of it, it's wild how well 95% of the jokes still hold up. Just about to start season 2, then looking forward to finishing that and jumping straight to the new episodes soon for a real fun timeskip.

Premiere is up, I guess on Starz’ web whatever? It’s real good stuff, although has to do a lot of heavy lifting getting everyone back together, so I imagine later episodes will improve. Still I laughed a bunch so hooray!

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

I can't believe this thread doesn't have more posts! This show came back and did not miss a single beat. Definitely a lot of setup in the first episode and I'm curious how the whole gang will end up back as caterers. The little twist at the end of the episode cracked me up.

These characters are just so well defined that everyone makes perfect sense where they are, ten years later.

It's happening again, they got the whole gang back together and everyone is at the top of their game and no one is watching. That's okay, I survived the show being ignored by the entire world back in 2009 or whatever and I'll survive it this time too, and I'll be one of the three people watching in 2037 when they try to revive it again. I hope you'll be there too.

Great episode; love a show where you can see all the wheels turning and the gears clashing, rather than the random well-that-happened bullshit genre.

If you want your Caplan fix watch Fleishman Is In Trouble.

Yeah, Spondoolie shows (Veronica Mars, iZombie, etc.) are always really tightly constructed pieces, though occasionally you end up with stuff like this where it's a waaaay overdetermined -- though the second season Veronica Mars premier still takes the cake.

Very funny though, and happy to see Jennifer Garner back on screen, and in a funny role too. Lady has surplus charisma.

How they write out Casey? I saw up to the title and thought they were on the right track. I like that kyle made it, he was always so affably stupid

What is this "Party Down" show you are talking about? Never heard of it. Are you sure you aren't imagining it? Surely, if such a show would exists, everyone would be watching it, right?

She got a spot on SNL and dumped Henry. You see some stills of her in the episode, but that's it.

He's (re?)married now.

The biggest laugh for me was the very final scene. "2020 is going to be my greatest year" and then cut to COVID announcement

Ron should have made a killing on PPP loans but I guess his lawyer blooped over that too.

I binged through the original run when I heard this was coming back on. Never watched it before but drat if it wasn't a great show.

The first episode was perfect. I wish Lizzy Caplan was coming back but drat if it wasn't just like the old episodes.

Not really sure if this is spoiler material so I’ll do it anyways: I do hope if they’re going to pull Henry back into catering there’s a drat good reason for it. I couldn’t quite get a read on where he stood in that regarding where he’s at in life.

I assume they're going to use the COVID ending as an opportunity to rope people in. I think I read somewhere that Henry's return to catering is a side hustle thing; "extra cash because of economic collapse" feels like a logical justification for him.

Spoilers for both E1 of Party Down S3 and Season 2 of the HBOMax original series "The Other Two": I was kind of disappointed that they used the exact same COVID ending gag as The Other Two's S2 finale, but if it's the plot mechanic that's going to let everyone return to working at Party Down then I think it makes sense

I think the gag could just be that it makes more money than teaching

Haha, I thought the exact same thing too. Especially since Ken Marino is also in The Other Two.

It feels like Henry is gonna be divorced in the 14 months of COVID based off the conversation with his wife and teaching is a nightmare.

Maybe I'm missing the obvious (highly likely) but what's that ref to einstein being a patent clerk and Kyle being like "he wasn't in the army"? (season 1, ep 4 I think, the investor)

Also dead forum and all but man it's depressing how little fanfare this season's gotten.
