Now this is some casting news I can get behind. After the
disastrous In the Motherhood,
Megan Mullally is returning to television-- on a show that's actually funny! Mullally is set to
join the cast of the amazing Party Down, a Starz original from
Veronica Mars creator,
Rob Thomas.
Mullally is replacing
Jane Lynch, whose role as Sue Sylvester on
Glee has been bumped up from recurring character to series regular. She plays "Lydia Dunfree, who leaves her small town and her failed marriage to help her 13-year-old daughter Escapade achieve her dream of becoming an actress. In addition to working as a cater-waiter for Party Down, Lydia is looking for Mr. Right."

I've seen the new show from
Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, and it is good. No, not the
Cupid redo; I'm talking about
Party Down.
The comedy about a group of struggling actors working as caterers premieres March 20 on STARZ. The show reunites Thomas with
Mars stars Ken Marino, Ryan Hansen and Adam Scott. Now, Veronica Mars herself, Kristen Bell, is
slated to guest star on the season finale, airing May 22.
Bell will play a rival caterer who makes trouble for the regular characters. Thomas said he wrote the part with Bell in mind.

I can't believe I forgot to add
Party Down to my recent
list of new shows I'm looking forward to. Not only is it produced by
Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, but it also
stars several Veronica Mars alums. Ken Marino (Vinnie Van Lowe), Ryan Hansen (Dick Casablancas), Adam Scott (Mr. Rooks), and Jane Lynch (Mrs. Donaldson) have all been cast in lead roles.
I know, I know; I was hoping to see Jason Dohring, Enrico Colantoni or even Kristen Bell on the cast list too. No such luck. But Colantoni is set to guest star in at least one episode, and so is Ed Begley Jr., who played Dean O'Dell in the last season of
Veronica Mars. Plus, Thomas said that Bell has expressed interest in appearing on the show.
