Party Down Season 1 Episodes
Season 1 Episode Guide
10 Episodes 2009 - 2009
The first season of the comedy series "Party Down" introduces us to a catering company consisting mostly of struggling actors and other misfits. Each episode finds the motley crew working a different gig, and often ending up in embarrassing situations with the clientèle. The main character is Henry (Adam Scott) who became famous for a beer ad that kept him from getting further work as an actor. He and his co-workers – which include the young comic Casey (Lizzy Caplan), wannabe superstar Kyle (Ryan Hansen), and the judgmental aspiring writer Roman (Martin Starr) --wrestle with their own problems, and often butt heads with their domineering, blowhard boss Ron (Ken Marino).
