Their BBC2 radioshow was awesome, their HBO live thingie was hella awesome and their new HBO sitcom is gonna be hellasuperuber awesome.
Did anyone see the first episode yesterday?

Watched the show last night...and I may be hooked. That chick who's obsessed with the boys is hilarious. HBO rocks.

You know the idea of the obsessed fan was based on a real obsessed fan?
You can see that woman on the documentary "FOTC: A Texan Odyssee".
She's married and has a picture of Jemaines lips in her wallet at all times, next to the pictures of her children. Pretty freaky.
But at least she didn't hint at them with lines about fish and '2. sexual. partners.'

granted, its not as riveting as watching grown men in spandex hump each other, but it is entertaining to say the least...

I watched tonight and I had no clue about the show. It made me laugh and my wife really seemed to like the comedy. The Fleetwood Mac segment that Marsdaddy mentioned made me chuckle.....and the I'm not crying it is raining video was a keeper. I added the show to my Tivo list.
I am also starting to get into the John From Cincinnati show.

Ya, I was a bit put off by the first episode...but I think it is going to get better. I really liked the second episode.

AFFIRMATIVE.
Could I take it or leave it?
Affirmative.

whoa, I just started watching this...NZ tv comedy is usually utterly dire, but this is really good. although, its not really New Zealand comedy, in that it's set in New York, and I suppose they're getting help from some Americans. anyway, it's like some weird Mighty Boosh/the Office kiwi hybrid.
good stuff.

I'm getting more hooked every episode. I was sitting with my jaw on the floor for most of episode 5. Jemaine was...naked! (apart from his business socks and strategically placed pixels). He is one sexy mofo.
I don't know why people keep comparing this to the boosh though. The boosh is far more absurd and unrealistic with people in strange outfits with facepaint. I've also heard people say it's like Peep Show, which I don't really see either.
This show is just more like british comedy than american comedy. It's more deadpan, more subtle at times, but that doesn't mean you can compare it to any british comedy.
Oh, and can I just mention Jemaine Clement is even cuter when he's 'out of character'? He smiles more. In the show he hardly seems to smile.

Yes, Jemaine is I realized a mix of David Cross and Jeff Goldblum.
Side note here, I have tried watching the Mighty Boosh and I think it's crappy. It has all these weird ideas but I don't think the main two guys are very funny. Bob Fossil and Bainbridge though <3

Oi, hands off cos, he's mine! :mad:
You already have mr.Steger and I sortof match with Jemaine because I wear specs and have a gap between my teeth and a pouty lip and a strange accent and I have a bass guitar...
Yeah, anyways, I want to have his babies. :o

I don't know why people keep comparing this to the boosh though.
well, its that buddy format, and like in the Mighty Boosh, a lot of the humour comes from the seemingly 'natural' interaction between the two. add to that the musical interludes and the occasional absurdist joke, and I think the comparison is valid.

Man, I hope it's good, because I'm getting REALLY fucking tired of seeing the same Conchords once-mildly-amusing, pretty derivative ad over and over and over and over and over and over and over every time I go to see a movie. ANY movie. Conchords conchords conchords conchords conchords. It immediately looks less like hip alternative than just more fucking product trying to shove its way down one's throat.

Sorry man, I just ain't seein it. I'll give it a few more tries but my guess is I'd have to be stoned as fuck to get anything worthwhile out of it.
Snuff Box however...

To be honest I havnt seen Snuff Box yet (its on a channel we don't get in Ireland) but I cant wait to see it. Anything with Bainbridge and Fossil in it must be gold....

It's really good. It's very weird. But very awesome. Only one episode I don't really like much. Matt and Rich are <333333!

HBO is mulling over whether to continue Flight of the Conchords. I am pissed that they canceled John From Cincinnati.

Holy schnapp...i thought I was the only one who watched John. I heard the news this morning and was a bit sad about it. They allow Big Love to stay on but give the boot to John and Lucky Louie. Fuckin sheeeyit man.
If the past dictates anything, it will get cancelled considering the fate of Mr. Show, Futurama, and Arrested Development. TV execs are assholes.
I was gonna list Family Guy, but I kinda wished that show would've stayed off the air.

Yeah but Mr. Show had four seasons so I think they had a pretty good run. That's the longest run of any of the shows I've loved...I really don't think any show should go more than 3 generally (except Seinfeld and maybe a few others).

I totally just walked by Brett as he was going into a restaurant.
I saw him and couldn't register his face at first and then it hit me.
Gahhhh this is why I need friends here to call up at 12:30 am and make them come to some random restaurant in Hollywood so we can ogle Brett and whoever he was meeting in that place!
Yes I am a stalker, sowhut
