Synopsis

The series set out to throw surprise parties for deserving people by their friends and family. Hosts Ethan Erickson and Kristin Cavallari worked with Lara Shriftman, a special events coordinator, and a team of celebrity event planners to create a unique and extravagant party for a different person each week. The program was scheduled in the lowest-rated time slot of the 2005-06 television season in UPN's 9:00 pm–10:00 pm Tuesday slot, where '' Sex, Love & Secrets'' had failed before. ''Get This Party Started'' garnered low ratings and was canceled by the network after only two episodes. The show ended up rated 156th, last out of the 156 programs which aired on the six major American broadcast networks in the 2005–06 season.
