Friday, June 25, 2010: Party Down

It feels like it just started, but the Season 2 finale of Party Down is already here. The episode is very exciting, if a little bittersweet -- Jane Lynch is back (Party Down is catering her character's wedding!) and it's Adam Scott's last episode for a while (if there even is a third season, which is highly doubtful at this point), which should be very funny and immensely enjoyable, if not a grim reminder of how weird this show is going to be without Henry next season. Scott's coming back for three episodes in between his Parks and Recreation duties, which, considering the short season is actually significant, but still: no Henry? Entire episodes without Henry? It's freaking me out.

On the other hand, this show has bounced back from cast departures (and cancellation threats) before. Megan Mullally has been the perfect replacement for Jane Lynch this season, and I for one never thought I could love her in anything after those awful butter commercials. And if Season 3 does happen, the show could certainly benefit from the reduction in Henry-and-Casey's-shitty-relationship storylines that Adam Scott's absence would ensure. Though I'd gladly put up with a million of those often excruciating scenes to get more of this show. C'mon, Starz! You're Starz! You're never going to get huge ratings out of anything, not even softcore porn! Renew Party Down! Don't make me send 12 tons of pink bowties to your offices.

Party Down airs on Starz tonight at 10 PM, but if you can't watch or DVR it, Netflix will stream it as will the Starz website. But either way -- giving it a digital spin might help the show's chances if you don't have a Nielsen box, so maybe stream it anyway no matter what.
