The cult comedy series “Party Down” returns this week, 13 years after it last aired. There’s still time to catch up. María Jesús Contreras Life of the party When I was 15, I worked for a caterer, answering phones and making vinaigrette by the gallon. I wanted nothing so desperately as to join the ranks of the cater-waiters, the older kids whose driver’s licenses allowed them to pilot a van full of chafing dishes to glamorous fetes at large, forbidding houses where they would sneak wine and look through medicine cabinets. “Party Down,” the cult comedy series about a Los Angeles catering crew, most of whom have Hollywood aspirations they never quite realize, originally ran for two seasons, from 2009 to 2010. It [returns this week](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl0zkBP0TsaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMi8xNi9hcnRzL3RlbGV2aXNpb24vcGFydHktZG93bi1pcy1iYWNrLWRpZC15b3UtcnN2cC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzAyMTgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODU3NTMmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyNTY5OSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY-EBtPBjOqD7FlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) for a very long-awaited third. If you didn’t watch the show, you have plenty of time to catch up on its original run before Friday’s premiere. I didn’t have to revisit the old episodes because I’ve been rewatching them regularly since the show went off the air. It’s not only that they scratch my unrealized catering itch (I was fired before my ship came in), but also that “Party Down” is the most reliable sort of comfort TV. I would like to take a course that uses the “Party Down” cast as the basis for its syllabus, that traces the career trajectories of each cast member and comes up with some comprehensive thesis about the state of comedy in the 21st century. (I don’t know what that thesis is; I’ll leave it to the professor.) We’d begin with the Adam Scott unit, watching “Parks and Recreation” and “Severance.” For Jane Lynch, obviously we would watch “Glee,” the show for which she left “Party Down.” The Ken Marino part of the semester would include “Childrens Hospital” and “The Other Two.” I haven’t gotten to Megan Mullally, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Lizzy Caplan — this might be a two-semester course, maybe an entire major. Miraculously, most of the original cast has returned for the new season. (Caplan was busy filming “Fleishman Is in Trouble.”) My colleague [Alexis Soloski described the show’s appeal](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl0zkBP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wMi8wNS9hcnRzL3RlbGV2aXNpb24vcGFydHktZG93bi1zdHJlYW1pbmcuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwMjE4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg1NzUzJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjU2OTkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmPhAbTwYzqg-xZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) perfectly: “It has the DNA of a workplace comedy in that it brings together people who would never know each other otherwise. But it’s also a hangout comedy in that the waiters work as little as possible. Because each episode takes place at a different party, it avoids the stasis, visual and otherwise, that workplace comedies induce. In just 20-odd minutes, the writers create an entire small world.” It’s a world to which I’m excited to return.
