The show follows a Los Angeles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles) catering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catering) team, a sextet of aspiring Hollywood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood) wannabes stuck working for tips (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip) while hoping for their "big break." Each episode of this half-hour comedy finds the hapless catering team working a new event, and inevitably getting tangled up with the colorful guests and their absurd lives.It's on Starz fridays at 10:30 PM I think.

The description doesn't really do it justice. The one guy, played by Adam Scott basically made it big and then failed, so he's back to catering which he did 8 years earlier with the character played by Ken Marino. I think it's really really funny. If you liked Eastbound and Down, you will probably like this.

There have been two episodes (http://forum.gorillamask.net/showthread.php?t=18424) so far (thanks Techtro).

After watching the first two eps, the show does have some potential but i think they need to use the characters differently.

It kind of reminds me of when the office started they had all these great characters but focused on Michael too much, i think the same is happening here so lets hope they learn quick.

This week had a lot more focus on the other characters which was good. I think they should copy the office and have character centered episodes though to make episodes more structured.

Anyway wasn't bad overall and I'm starting to warm to it. The boner pill I thought was an odd whole in the story until the credits which was awesome.

"SNAP MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

I'm definitely not quite as high on it as I was when I first saw it, but I still generally liked it. The next few episodes are make or break for me, I'll be interested to see where it goes.

So far its ok....I mean it could be worse but it can still be better.
