You should watch Flight of the Conchords

There’s not much I find watchable on TV. Most of the stuff I do watch tends to be on HBO. Now they have a new series called Flight of the Conchords. I finally got around to watching last week’s episode tonight, and I must say that after the first 4 minutes, I found it was the funniest thing I had seen all year.

Here’s a snippet of a review:

TV Review | Entertainment Weekly

HBO’s new comedy series, Flight of the Conchords, which follows the exploits of ”New Zealand’s fourth most popular folk parody duo,” is a simple bit of joy. Underacted, underproduced, understated, and underground in tone, Conchords features writer-actors Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement playing dimmer (one hopes) versions of themselves, as they attempt to break into the New York music scene. Bret and Jemaine have self-centered souls, childlike reasoning skills, and songs about diseased monkeys.

Here’s a clip:

It’s on HBO on Sundays, at 10:30pm.
