.....was there a bunch of hype surrounding this show and I just missed it? or is there really no buzz generated yet? I happened to catch it after "Entourage" and laughed my fucking ass off!!!

Discuss. If you haven't seen this show, go watch it on OnDemand and come back to discuss. I have a huuuuge crush on the Jemaine character, whom HBO has summed up in one clever paragraph:

"The self-styled 'ladies man' of the group, Jemaine's bold look has been likened that of 'an ogre who works in a library'."

lol!!! Sundays @ 10:30.

Saw it for the first time last night, and it instantly became my new favorite show. Well, right behind Curb, at least. I love their manager, haha.

Heard it was great, but no HBO, so I don't know yet. But, I heard there are good clips on You Tube, above and beyond the usual fare.

The first episode is available to stream for free at the HBO website. Classic stuff. It almost makes me want to get cable.

Makes me proud to be a kiwi.

Episode One's "Inner City Pressure":

"No one cares, no one sympathizes, so you just sit home and play synthesizers."

GENIUS!!!

Word. Since the last post, I've seen a couple of seasons, and it's great. I was just quoting this earlier today, in fact. :D

Good show!

I think each episode I've seen of Flight of the Conchords is the funniest thing ever until they start singing their alternative, Ween-like songs. All of the actors do the funniest standup and I want to like the show so bad, but I just can't get past the FUCKING TWEE.

i'll admit that i'm not a huge fans of the songs either (too "lonely-island" for me). i usually fast forward them, although there are a few semi-funny ones.

Season 1 was awesome - Season 2 was a bit of a disappointment imo, but they've parlayed the success of the show into a busy tour schedule, so that seems to be occupying a lot of their energy and that's where they're strongest. Seen them live twice and laughed my ass off both times.
