I love how they manage to be so entertaining not just with their music but with the quality of the show as well.

It's a really great show.. I definitely became a fan from the first episode. Not sure if I love it more or equal to Entourage (tough call, Entourage is pretty darn awesome) I have to hand it to HBO... They ditched great shows like OZ (wish they'd start it up again), Arliss, Sex In The City and The Sopranos (could they have killed the ending any worse?!?!?) and came out charging with first Entourage and then John From Cincinnati and Flight Of the Conchords.
I can almost forgive them for Mind Of The Married Man and Curb Your Enthusiasm!
(I said ALMOST!!! At least they cancelled Mind of the Married Man- I guess they figured out no one wanted to watch a show about a guy that thinks about sex with everyone but his wife)

My favorite song is the "The Boom King" from the eppy where I think its Bret gets kicked out of the band then he gets a job holding signs.

Shes so hot- Boom pretty great. I counted, he says boom between 60 and 70 times. (Lost track at the end)

Ah Kaneda, I'm glad you posted that video link - yes, Bret is indeed the random elf that spawned an internet phenomenon around the time the Lord of the Rings came out. Fans dubbed him FIGWIT - which stands for "Frodo Is Great... Who Is That?" People even made Figwit fansites, and he got his own Topps collectible trading card because he got so popular. I've been sort of semi-following Bret's career since then (since he was extremely nice about the whole Figwit thing and really embraced the fans) - I'm beyond thrilled that he now has a successful show in the States! And I fell in love with Jemaine a few years back when Flight of the Conchords appeared on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" - they performed "Business Time" and I was hooked. The only thing is that I don't get HBO, so I can't see Flight of the Conchords as it airs - I hope they'll put it on DVD in the near future. I'm also wondering where the heck in the US I can buy one of their CDs! I've looked, but had no luck! ***Odd Lord of the Rings tidbit - the old king that was killed by Sauron at the beginning of "The Fellowship of the Ring" (he's thrown against some rocks and has his sword stomped on) is Bret's dad.***

Great find Kaneda.. I would have never know he was in LOTR usless i looked at the credits (which is something I generally do not do) I hardly even recognized him without his trademark facial hair. Another great Song, She's So Hot- Boom... thanks for mentioning it SS.

They are just going to start showing this over here in New Zealand yet they come from here, got to love how slow we are over here …lol. They are so well know and loved by many here, they are one of the top acts at the comedy gala every year and are just so great to watch, I would love to go see them live it would be a blast.
