The Flight of the Conchords is a totally amazing comedy show and I love it to bits. There’s lots of great TV on at the moment, but I think this has to be my number one show, and definitely in my all-time top-ten. It’s so refreshing to see people trying something new and different and turning out so very, very funny.
The Flight of the Conchords are Brett and Jemaine, “New Zealand’s fourth most popular digi-folk paradists”. They’re in New York awaiting their big break but it will probably be a long time coming with an agent like Murray in charge. Each episode is in a docu-sit-com format with a couple of songs, so you’re getting a lot of entertainment for your investment of couch-time.
My favourite episode so far is #3. How about these for rap-names… hiphopapotomous and the rhymenosaurus. Excellent! There’s a great clip on You Tube if you want to see them in action…
Even though I have cleared the clutter to such a degree that I now have just a small handful of DVDs that I own, this one will definitely be a welcome addition to the Muldowney household and the first one I have purchased in about 3 years. High praise indeed.
