The TV Bar
Last night, some Twitter friends and I took one person’s idea - a bar where people can gather and watch TV together - and created a crazy, multi-room establishment with each room being dedicated to a show. These are the results:
TV Shows To Movies: Party Down
I think that I had heard rumors of a Party Down movie before reading this, but if so, it didn’t stick out in my mind. I guess with the continued delay of the fabled Arrested Development movie and commercial sort-of failure of Serenity, it takes a lot to convince me that they’re actually happening.
I wouldn’t say that a treatment is “enough,” but the cast of Party Down certainly seems less busy than that of Arrested Development, so that certainly makes it seem more plausible.
I know I told you all about Terriers earlier today, but I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH how much you should be watching it. It’s on Netflix Instant! Here is a second opinion on how awesome it is. I could provide you with numerous more in favor of the show if that’s what it will take!
Terriers is an easy pick for this year’s “Arrested Development Award for Amazing Show Most Likely to Only Receive the Acclaim it Deserves After Being Cancelled” (last year’s winner - Party Down). Character-driven crime/detective show with both episodic mysteries and a season long arc (sorta like a less snarky, buddy cop Veronica Mars). It’s still not on DVD though this week it finally hit Netflix Instant, and at 13 episodes it makes a perfect Netflix Weekend Warrior project. If you stick it out to the end the only thing you’ll be disappointed by is that they didn’t make more.
