Friday Flashback: Rec. #182: Party Down

I decided to start doing Friday Flashbacks in case you missed some earlier posts the first time around. You're busy; I understand.

What: Another TV series from Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars), two seasons, Los Angeles, struggling actors, cater waiters, crisp white shirts, Adam Scott, alcohol, pink bow ties, Ken Marino, Soup 'R Crackers, helpful gay pirate, Lizzy Caplan, texting, spitting, crushes, Jane Lynch, singles seminar for seniors, prescription drugs, Martin Starr, Baja condos, prop gun, illegal drugs, Jennifer Coolidge, high school reunion, corporate retreat, Ryan Hansen, sun eggs, Uda Bengt, backstage party, Megan Mullally, funeral, company picnic, NFL draft party, wedding, the Gute, other guest stars galore

Representative quote: "It's not lying, it's... acting. Look, I was an actor; it's easy. You just use the true bits and you fake the fake bits. Most actors aren't bright, so it has to be simple."

Bonus representative quote:
"Hey Roman, Google me in ten years, that's going to be me."
"The only way I'm Googling you in ten years is if you get very creative in the way that you kill yourself."

Also: Veronica Mars (Rec. #168), and don't forget to visit Adam Scott on Parks and Recreation (Rec. #119)

And: Seriously, folks, it's time to get on this boat if you haven't already. We've already delved headfirst into the nostalgia phase of Party Down's life cycle.
