HBO announced they are picking up their option for a 2nd season of Flight of the Conchords....Im relieved....this has become my favorite show and I was afraid the audience wasn't broad enough for a 2nd season....for those that have never seen it, Bret and Jemaine are a couple of nutty guys from New Zealand that are in NY trying to make it as a serious band....but in real life, they are a folk parody band from New Zealand....in the show, they play it completely straight, never letting on that everything they do is a punchline, and about twice an episode, a scene will spin into a music video from one of their parodies....Im going to include one such scene in which they are being mugged:</p> </p><p align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="425" height="350"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FArZxLj6DLk" /><param name="width" value="425" /><param name="height" value="350" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FArZxLj6DLk" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
This show has grown on me like something that grows very fast. Like a fast-growing plant, or something. Or a baby.
Great news, the last episode was great.</p> Mel's face when she told Bret and Jermaine that she always gets what she wants was hilarious.</p>
