10 TV Shows That Should’ve Been Awesome (But Utterly Failed)

6. Party Down

Rsz 1rsz Party Down Best Jokes Photo Gifs Gallery Cover Party Down was an adorable comedy following the lives of catering staff looking to make it big in Hollywood. Sassy, sarcastic, and very very silly, Party Down was relatable and often bittersweet in its depiction of having to work a job you hate to pursue your dreams. Not only that, but it featured the comedy stylings of Jane Lynch (Glee), Adam Scott (Parks & Recreation), Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Martin Starr (Freaks & Geeks) and Lizzy Caplan (New Girl). Regrettably, Party Down's huge asset of its fantastic cast was ultimately what let it down. They lost Jane Lynch to Glee and Adam Scott to Parks & Recreation, meaning that Party Down never got its chance to go too close to the sun. It received great reviews, but a mix of cast loss and low ratings meant that it was cancelled after two excellent seasons.

Fan of Taylor Swift and the Dead Kennedys (a duet I can only dream of). I like dystopias, slasher films, and video games that make me feel things.
