Even though Party Down features a steady flow of absurd jokes and funny situations, it still offers more of a consistent, realistic, lively story than dramedies like "Weeds," "The United States of Tara" or "Glee."
It's the sarcasm (see: Adam Scott), smart dialogue, and refreshing take on the workplace comedy that make the somewhat depressing premise a totally raucous party.

While the first season showed great promise, the writers and cast more than lived up to their potential in what turned out to be the funniest season of tv I've ever seen. Megan Mullally stepped in perfectly and ended up overshadowing her predecessor Jane Lynch; her performance in Nick DiCintio's Orgy Night was as painfully funny as any episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm or either version of The Office. Adam Scott and Lizzy Caplan show great promise and chemistry together and provide just the right amount of dry wit and drama to keep the otherwise absurd show grounded. I can't wait for the movie.

SEASON 2
A top-flight cast, including Lizzy Caplan and Martin Starr (and this season, Megan Mullally, stepping in for Lynch), who make the show's scripts play like improv. Above all, the show's ambition to be both raunchily funny and emotionally real to characters who are watching their dreams get older one day at a time.
The rest of the original crew is back, in varying degrees of denial, cluelessness, incompetence and narcissism. They have been missed.
While things invariably and hilariously go wrong, Party Down’s appeal comes from the interplay of these endearingly delusional wannabes—now including Megan Mullally, replacing the irreplaceable Jane Lynch as a perky single-mom new recruit.
The comedy never quite lifts into giddiness, but there are lots of solid, unexpected laughs. And isn't that cause for celebration? [26 Apr 2010, p.40]
Party Down, about a group of aspiring Hollywood types working as caterers, returns for a second season of stale jokes.
It's a shame this show was cancelled because it vastly improved on its solid first season to become one of last year's funniest shows on television. The loss of Jane Lynch meant the emergence of another comedy great, Megan Mulllaly, and allowed for the rest of the show's secondary characters to shine. Adam Scott was perfect and should have been Emmy-nominated, but at least he is on Parks and Rec. now. This show will be sorely missed. R.I.P.

SEASON 2
This show's 2nd season is worst than the last I hated how they kept going with the I can't become famous in the media **** still trying to give a bleeding **** for these mostly losers. What I hated about this season is the fact that they made Ron dreams crash and burn and he ends up back at Party Down loser brigade, the indiviual catering stories went from being good to being raunchy **** ups that can't hardly past for decent storytelling, and Adam Scott's character being the leader of the Party Down group is just a huge blunder. One line truly struck me in this season was the fact that the Casey character said she got rejected in America's media for being too JEWEY and you know that's a loaded piece of crap because in American media being too Jewey will always make you famous because Jews run the American media so that's just one of the worst lines I have heard ever!!!!!!!! Although there were good points in this mostly a huge wreck of a season with the adding of the truly talented Megan Mullally to the main cast, the fact that Martin Starr's character Roman was finally put in his place and you know what it was by none other than Steve Guttenberg who has been over since the 80's so that's an extra treat to the character Roman for someone to have finally stuck it to him, The **** football player draft episode, and the return of Jane Lynch/Constance Carmell in the show's series finale which I think might have been the best thing of all in this entire season because that last episode's story was just PURE GENIUS.
