I first heard about Flight of The Conchords from a friend of mine who sent me to a site with a sample song from the new series on HBO. I found it hilarious and needed to watch it. Thankfully HBO-On-Demand was there to help me out.
After watching the first two episodes, I'm hooked. The basic plot is a band from New Zealand comes to America to become famous. In between their attempts at stardom are some hilarious scenes and great music. And when I say attempts, it's not some hokey over the top type of attempts. Its a very relaxed show, they don't try to be funny, they just are. I'm not exactly sure...

Tired of formula tv?
Turn on HBO and catch Flight of the Conchords. HBO is worth the extra bucks, and this show is hilarious, unexpected, quirky, witty, AND has great music! What more could you ask for? It is real entertainment, and ya gotta love the New Zealand accent. It's about an aspiring band f two-person band from New Zealand and their not-too-bright manager. Not much happens in each episode, but there are no dumb sitcom predictabilities either. Thanks, HBO, for another winner!
Give it a whirl, then come back and Comment on your thoughts. Can't wait to see what...

I love these guys, and their show is great. There is nothing else on tv that looks or sounds like Flight of the Conchords, which makes it a real joy to watch. Having lived in New Zealand for several years, I know there are some inside jokes that mean nothing to the average American, so it's a testament to these two guys' original style of humor that they've garnered so much positive attention in the USA.
Hint: if you love the show, check out the free podcasts on Itunes: mel's podcasts are especially hilarious.

This is going to be a short review because very few things need to be said about Flight of The Conchords.
They are GENIUS - A couple of lovable guys who are extremely funny.
They are BRILLIANT - Comedy about every day life with the unique use of orginal songs.
I loved it soo much I'm having a hard time coming up with anything to say except CHECK IT OUT. free clips and vids on youtube.
You'll find yourself singing their songs at work and it makes the day a little better. My life is all the richer for having watched the "Frodo don't wear that ring" and "It's Business Time" Videos.
Just a couple...

Flight of the Conchords is a funny way to pass the time! Their skits are amusing but the true talent lies in their musical abilities. In all honesty, they aren't bad singers! The two of them have combined the dry sense of humor with a musical background and they make a great mix for story telling. I down load their songs on my computer and laugh so hard with the word choices and awkward scenarios.
I hope that HBO keeps their show on and that more people appreciate their unique sense of humor. I recommend "Jenny", and "If your into it", those are my two personal favorites!
ENJOY!!
