Flight of the Conchords: The Complete First Season

This 2-disk set features all 12 episodes from the first season of HBO's Flight of the Conchords originally airing from June-September 2007. The Conchords are New Zealanders Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement--New Zealand's 4th Most Popular Folk Parody Duo--and the series follows their surreal lunacy as they try to make it in New York. From their mundane lives springs their inspired music, and it is during each episode's musical numbers that Conchords really takes flight.

I fell in love with this show after the first 5 minutes, but after the 5th and 6th consecutive episode the humor just started to get tired. It's just the same kind of jokes over and over again. While hilarious, you can have too much of a good thing. Maybe if I go back to it and watch them again, this time not in such a short timespan I won't get burned out so quickly.

The songs are still incredible.

The first 6 episodes are better than the last 6 in the season. I think it's because they used up all of their A material in the early episodes. If you've seen any FOTC live material it's all used up by the 5 or 6th episode. Boom, Boom. Business Time. The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room, etc.

"I get ridiculed all the time. Like ?Hey?Ginger Balls!?"
"Binary solo: 0000001 00000011 000000111 0000001111"
"You?re so beautiful. You could be a waitress."
"I?m not crying, I?m just chopping onions for my lasagna..for one."

This is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while. Jemaine also stars in a movie I want to see...Eagle vs. Shark.

I also love this show thanks to Erik who suggested I check it out. I was a bit skeptical at first, but after episode 1 or 2 I was hooked, it is the kind of wacky retarded yet clever comedy that I indeed appreciate. I was not a fan of their breaking into songs either, but I now that I have re-watched the entire 1st season, I find myself singing parts of their songs and laughing to myself like a complete nut job sometimes.
