The Flight of the Conchords is a very different type of program. I usually do not like "musicals", that is, a show where singing is part of the story. However, this program uses their crazy songs to entertain and get their viewpoints across in a very comedic way. The New Zealand accent that both performers use, is quite catchy and different than an Australian accent, I was surprised to discover. Some of the deadpan humor is hilarious. The situations they get themselves into (the best so far is "Mugged") are unbelievable. I am so happy I "discovered" this show quite by accident. HBO did not really advertise it as much as "John from Cincinnati" (which I believe is being cancelled). Happily, "Flight" has been renewed for another season!

Flight of the Conchords follows the trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band from New Zealand as they try to make a name for themselves in their adopted home of New York City. The band is made up of Bret McKenzie on guitar and vocals, and Jemaine Clement on guitar and vocals. Bret and Jemaine have moved to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.
