Whither 'Party Down'?

Party Down fans will love this! Adam Scott and Lizzy Caplan have been cast in an indie feature from Sanchez Productions called The Bachelorette. It will focus on a group of old high school friends who get together for the wedding of a friend. Will Farrell and Adam McKay will produce. Kirsten Dunst and Casey Wilson are also attached to the project.

I am still traumatized by the cancellation of Party Down. It got to the point that when I recently moved and ordered cable, I refused to include the Starz channel on my package. The joke's on them: Cult status on the show is growing, and the idea of a Party Down movie has been mentioned by various cast members.

Until that elusive and mythical feature is created, we can enjoy Caplan and Scott's cool chemistry under the hands of McKay and Farrell. Since Adam will be playing Lizzy's former high school crush, perhaps those hilarious sparks will fly.

Happy Endings

When Casey Wilson was cut from the cast of Saturday Night Live, I held a one minute moment of silence for her departure, and gave a mental "hi five" to the lady for being set free; free to create funny stuff that can be appreciated on a different forum, removed from the Lorne Michaels vision of what a funny woman should be (and look like).

That is why I'm thrilled to see that she's on the cast of Happy Endings, a new prime time comedy that premieres tonight at 9:30pm et on ABC - after Modern Family. She co-stars alongside fellow UCB member Adam Pally and other funny, good looking people who are not necessarily UCB (some will be guest starring), but probably have done commercials and have nice head shots. Ok, that was snarky, but I'll leave this in, only to prove that I only know as much about the show as the following trailer provides. That's why we all have to tune in tonight and find out.
