At the time I remember reading that the season 2 premiere had like a 100% increase in viewership over the season 1 premiere and it still wasn't enough to justify a third season. I'm glad they ended up doing more eventually, but the show has always been a small cult hit at best.

Reply to comment by CableCoShow in No episode of the new season of Party Down has made the top 100 airings of original cable telecasts (non delayed viewing). Other Starz shows frequently make the list. by mar5526
