Flight of the Conchords is a Must-See TV Series

Yes! TV is starting to become entertaining again! The major networks have some very funny programs running right now with shows such as "The Office" and "Family Guy." But HBO has made a contribution to the off-the-wall comedy world with its program, "Flight of the Conchords". Here's how the official Web site, http://www.hbo.com/conchords, describes the show:

"Flight of the Conchords follows the trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band from New Zealand as they try to make a name for themselves in their adopted home of New York City. The band is made up of Bret McKenzie on guitar and vocals, and Jemaine Clement on guitar and vocals. Their friendship is hilarious and unique. This band duo makes for a hit series in 2007.

The band who consists of Bret and Jemaine have moved to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else."

From the first episode I laughed until my sides hurt. This series will keep you laughing in one way or another from beginning to end. There are constant subtleties in the dialogue and the all characters in the show are very funny. I find myself, in a weird way, being reminded of "Seinfeld" simply because of the quirky characters and the goofy situations they find themselves in. The creative characters will keep you locked in and laughing aloud. Flight of the Chonchords will be a series you will want to pass on to friends and just keep watching over and over.

Flight of the Conchords is also very unpredictable. That's part of the reason why it's so funny, you just can't say what's going to happen next.

I love the character of the band manager and how he starts each band meeting with a role call, even though there are only three in attendance.

I would happily recommend "Flight of the Conchords" to anyone looking for a new comedy series. I'll be looking for the series on DVD when it's released.
