tv show: Flight of the Conchords
My new favorite show for the summer is HBO’s Flight of the Concords. It’s a perfect meld of everything that is lovable about HBO comedies. You have the ridiculous musical numbers spliced hilariously into the narrative. You have the dry wit of struggling “artists” with an inept agent. And finally you have the unemotional anti-heroes that manage to get themselves into odd situations.
But mostly the show exists on its own plane of complete weirdness with the musical interludes being the overshadowing highlight. I can’t exactly remember what happens in each episode, but I’ll pop back onto my DVR almost daily to replay “Inner City Pressure” or “Hip-hopopotamus vs. the Rhymenocerous“. In conclusion, dry-witted poor New Zealand folk rockers = amazing, so watch it.

I must admit I was sceptical when I went into my first viewing of this show. I don’t know what made me think I wasn’t going to like it, I am very easily ammused, and the I trusted the comedy tastes of the people showing it to me. Whatever doubts I had were proven quite silly because it was hilarious. The music definately was the high point, but the rest kept me very well entertained. The episode I saw had only two musical numbers and I really felt like it needed a third to wrap it up, but I still left very satisfied and eager to see more. I hope this show gets the attention it deserves, but most likely it will end up in the “brilliant but cancelled” category. We’ll see.

I love this show. Episode 2 was my favorite, thanks to the incredibly awesome “Inner City Pressure”. However, episode 6 entitled “Bowie” has, in my opinion, set an even higher standard for the show. These guys are fantastic!
