Food Party

This show is one of the most creative shows I've ever seen. The set is my favorite part because there is always something new or interesting to look at. For example, there is sometimes a rave going on in the freezer. The main character is a little strange at first but then you fall in love with her and her antics.

There is sometimes a story but who cares about that. If you want a good story go watch HBO because its amazing. But Food Party is a show you can just watch and laugh at. This show has so much heart it reminds me of something Michel Gondry would do. I think this show would do better on a network like Cartoon network on adult swim.

Go watch this show now!

Pee wees playhouse did all of this 30 years ago and did it better. Here's an idea...come up with your own idea!!!

Like the reviewer above me I watch good television shows like Tim and Eric awesome show, tom goes to the mayor, Xavier renegade angel, trailer park boys. I wanted to check out this show because when i saw a commercial it looked like they knew what they were doing but when I watched an episode and then another and then another I decided it was a terrible show. Thu Tran the star of the show is such a bad actor its hard to explain, a little better in season 2 but not really. this is a TV show for kids who watch family guy, is an invader zim idiot, well any of those bad shows. This show is trying to copy what Tim heidecker and Eric wareheim have created and fails at it because there jokes are half ass. I'm sorry but this show is terrible.

I never saw the first season of Food Party, but what I have seen of season 2 has consistently left me staring shell-shocked at the screen while the credits roll. In a good way. Take Pee Wee's Playhouse, the Mighty Boosh, Hello Kitty and a cooking show, throw them all in a pot, stir vigorously and what you get is Food Party. The show's lack of polish may be off-putting to some (there's always the Disney Channel, guys), but to my mind it serves to expose the creativity at work here. Mercifully low-budget creativity. The secret ingredient is Tran herself, whose child-like demeanor and deadpan acting make me feel like I'm eavesdropping on a little girl's stuffed animal tea party. Except it's more like a little girl's stuffed animal imaginary cooking show adventure. Food Party is a crazy change of pace.

The acting is bad and the production values are dismal, and the stories are simplistic (although the show does not qualify as camp). Yet, despite or because of the above, this show is original and hilarious. Even though I don't use drugs, the Barney/Julia Child/Sherry Lewis on acid/stoner vibe hooks me. Also, the people involved with the show enjoy what they do, and their enthusiasm is infectious.

It's tempting to imagine this show with better acting/production. But the ingredients of Food Party are finely balanced and blend to form an offbeat yet tasty dish. Changing any of those ingredients risks ruining the meal.
