Just took the DVDs out from my local library and, I know that I'm not telling any of you anything new, but this is maybe the greatest TV show of all time.
Almost certainly my next DVD purchase.
And, somebody posted this before, but here it is again:

Bought the box set a while back and haven't cracked the plastic yet. Love what I have seen, though.

They've been showing it on IFC too, I believe at least on Monday nights.

Watched it in its entirety earlier this year thanks to Netflix. Would definitely purchase. Only the good shows die young.

Oh, and I would almost certainly be in love with Lindsay if I were in high school with her.

More than looks (although she is cute), she is just super cool.

Bought it when it first came out awhile back (now there's a newer edition?). Amazing show. Wish it would've gotten more attention while it was on.

Yea, I got the Yearbook Edition box set when they reissued it last year or whenever it was.

Yep, great show from the mind of Judd Apatow. I have several episodes DVR'd I need to watch. IFC did good to breathe some life back into it.


Lindsay/Linda Cardellini got really hot...

(Hottest. Velma. Ever.)

Classic show.

I see Dave "Gruber" Allen about once a month at Largo and I think I'm doomed to think of him forever as Mr. Rosso. The episode where George Bush (or was it Reagan?) comes to their school has one of my favorite TV moments ever.

Also, there's a lot of people that appear on this show LONG before they had any sort of acting careers (Rashida Jones, Lizzy Caplan, Ben Foster, etc...)

Rashida Jones as the bully was kind of jarring to see compared to Karen from The Office

IMO, she did a poor job with that character. Saw that ep recently.

that's about it. Apatow still uses alot of the F&G cast for stuff, obviously, but he has nothing to do with Party Down.

Rob Thomas, Party Down's creator, had previously done Veronica Mars, which has just as much crossover, if not more.

Yet another huge fan of the show. We've been re-watching them on IFC the past few weeks. I don't own it, though. Think I might need to add that yearbook edition DVD to my Christmas list.

I keep coming back to this thread to look at the Linda Cardellini pics I posted. In the middle one from Maxim, she is waaaay too skinny (airbrushed probably)
