"Party Down" cast reunites for a brief, blissful moment on "Children's Hospital"

Do you know the best thing about really funny TV shows that no one ever watched? You can steal jokes from them and no one will ever know. Like the other day, I was hanging out with a crew of mixologists (long story), and they were talking shop: muddle this, swizzle that, sazerac, etc. And one of them said, "I accidentally added an extra jigger of Scotch to this guy's drink." To which I said, "Excuse me, I believe the politically correct term is 'Jegro.'" And I got probably the best laugh I've ever gotten out of a group of strangers in my life. I was a hero!
Inside, however, I felt the tiniest inkling of shame: I didn't make that line up. It's totally one-hundred-percent stolen from Party Down, one of those aforementioned incredible shows that somehow no one ever watched. As such, it was canceled after its two-season run on Starz, to little fanfare (since, like I said, no one watched it).
But, for the eighteen or so of you out there who did love Party Down, you can relive the happiest days of your lives with this brief but great reunion of the cast (minus Adam Scott), brought in to do some catering on Children's Hospital. They text, flirt, piss off the boss, and make a bunch of anti-Semitic jokes. Check it out:

I loved Party Down like no other show, at least we still get to see Adam Scott a bit on Parks and Rec
Haha yeah thank God for that! Sometimes (ok, always) I pretend that the government job is just what happened to Henry when the audition didn't work out... Parks and Rec does give him funnier stuff though, I like that he's slightly less mopey in Pawnee.
such an amazing show, a few episodes made me cry they were so funny! and that jigger scene i had to rewind and watch about 10 times in a row. no idea why they had such a small audience but supposedly they're working on a movie version a la arrested development... cross your fingers!
Became a fan after it was already canceled. Discovered it on netflix. There mere fact I didn't watch was I didn't have Starz. Great show!
Blue ties?
Awesome reunion!!!!
Great article but it didn't have evertyihng—I didn't find the kitchen sink!
