Party Smarty
A few weeks ago I noted how much I liked Party Down, a sitcom about a catering group. Since then, if anything, it's only gone up in my estimation. The writing, as I noted, is smart. And, financially (for the production), it's a good set-up--each week they have one, but only one, new setting.
What's impressed me most after seeing several episodes (all from season two) are the plots. You'd think catering a new party each week could get boring, but they mix things up enough so you never know what you'll get.

It's still mostly about the jokes, but it's so much easier to be smart when the plot is working.

Which one is supposed to be Velma, and which one Daphne?
It's actually close to Taxi, but then, who cares?
How's that for a quick response, btw?
Depends on what you mean by response. I'd say the clock is still ticking.

Not sure whether I'm lecturing you or suing you.
You don't get that Taxi is a different sort of comedy vehicle?
