JDoh will be on the 3/27 ep of RT's new show. Oh joy.

Starz will premiere new comedy “Party Down” on March 20 at 10:30 p.m.

The half-hour series, created by Rob Thomas (“Veronica Mars”), follows a group of struggling actors working as cater-waiters. Starz has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which stars Ken Marino, Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Lizzy Caplan. The show will feature guest appearances by Ed Begley Jr., Marilu Henner, Joey Lauren Adams, Breckin Meyer, Rob Corddry, J.K. Simmons and Steven Weber.

“Moonlight” and “Veronica Mars” fans will recognize Jason Dohring on the March 27 episode. Other “Veronica Mars” veterans making guest appearances include Ryan Devlin, Alona Tal and Enrico Colantoni.

Fred Savage will direct five episodes of “Party Down.”
Erm, yay? At least we'll see him. Even if it IS Rob Thomas again. Sigh.

This is just depressing, especially after the Washingtonienne news.

I know.

Apparently the show is being rewritten and redone, and JD is pursuing other opportunities. Whether he was let go/recast or he decided to leave, it's implied he's no longer involved with the show.

MY DAY JUST GOT BETTER. Are you serious?

Unfortunately, yes. :(

Like I told [livejournal.com profile] jo_potter below --

Hey, if you want to keep up-to-date on what's going on with him, check out A-Dohring Crowd (http://jddic.yuku.com/directory). It's not totally active, but of course, Jason's doing not much now, but we've managed to still keep stuff going and it's updated with news pretty quickly.

It's my JD board that I set up because I lurve him.

Erm, yay? is right. Uff... Oh, well, new JDoh can't be that bad a thing, can it?

*reads [livejournal.com profile] shangri_la's comment*
What news about Washingtonienne? Was it cancelled? Does he not have a big part in it?

The show wasn't picked up, but is instead being completely re-tooled and Jason is looking for other work.

I've heard good things of the episode, so I wouldn't get that down.

It's not that I don't think it has the possibility of being good; I know that RT is talented, it's just that with all that happened with VM, it's just depressing seeing Jason stuck back in a place with someone who appeared to not appreciate him.

[identity profile] afrocurl.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I actually think that Rob does appreciate him as an actor, but couldn't figure out what to do with with Logan in the story. But that's just me.

[identity profile] arabian.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I did specifically say "appeared." I fully believe that it's what you said in terms of appreciating Jason, however, the appearance was that he didn't because of all of the crap Logan fans perceived was happening.

[identity profile] afrocurl.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it.

Sigh. Why can we never seem to fully escape Rob Thomas? I am getting ready to plead!

[identity profile] boundaid.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously, he has all this over one show on a fledgling network? (well we did get JDoh out of it)

[identity profile] arabian.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
At least we WILL get to see Jason, that's what I'm holding onto.

[identity profile] arabian.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

Ugh. I can't bear to watch a single thing created by RT. Still bitter.

[identity profile] arabian.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still bitter, but I love Jason more than I despise RT. So, yes, I will watch that one episode.

Damn you, Jason!!!!
