Friends,
You might know that the second season of our show started last night, you would if our friendship meant anything to you. Every Monday following a new episode you'll be able to download one of the songs from that episode from iTunes. Today you can download Angels.
Anyway, check out the show, it is garnering amazing reviews like this one:

"Flight of the Conchords" doesn't take off

Ruth Spiegel

"Flight of the Conchords"
10 p.m. Jan. 18, HBO
This is the second season of this program which started with this showing. There are 10 episodes in this season.

We have two New Zealanders named Jemaine and Bret who now are living in New York City's Lower East Side. They are the stars in this music-comedy series.
Tonights' episode has them quitting their manager named Murray seeking work elsewhere only to find they really can't because they have no work visas so they go back to work for Murray.
I personally find that I probably wouldn't find myself watching this program again because it is not the type of programming that I really enjoy.

Ruth's review made me soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sleepy.
Maybe when she watched the episode it was in a diffrent dimension than the normal one?

You must feel truly vindicated for deciding to do a second season.

I think Ruth is just upset because she is prematurely balding. She's mad that we can see her scalp.


Great show last night..you guys make life worth living...or at least TV worth wathing :)

Don't worry, the newspaper in Decatur, Alabama, will say much nicer things about you tomorrow. I know that's a comfort.

Am happy about the itunes deal! :D

Aw, she's from Syracuse--what does she know? May I say that I am not quite the old fogey that Ruth is, but I'm up there, and I couldn't get enough of the show last season, watching each episode at least three times and listening to the tunes. Unfortunately economic times are tough and I have no HBO this season which I understand is to be your last. But together or individually you've both made me your fan for life, for what little I've got left ;-) A fan of everyone on the show, in fact.
Good luck, guys!

Do NOT listen to Ruth. She's just jealous because she has no mad moves or manager. I hope you aren't taking this too badly...

Hahahahaha, this review is hilarious! Thank goodness for people like Ruth, because we all need to have a good laugh.

I, on the other hand, thought the show was brilliant, but then again, what do I know?
I've awarded 2 kudos, not for FOTC, but for Ruth and her thought provoking comments....

Awww... there, there. There, there, there, there, there.


Despite Ruth's completely impartial, thought-provoking and in-depth review of the show, perhaps you can take a little comfort that, at least, she spelled your names right!

:D

Love, Me.

wait, this wasn't a joke?

well, im glad i have you, ruth, to tell me what programming you don't really enjoy. i'm going to go ahead and erase this from my mind and continue watching the programming *i* enjoy. delivered by the two sexiest guys on the street (depending on the street).


or at least in the top three.

and two out of three ain't bad.

What a synopsis, Ruth! She must be some lonely old lady sitting in her sewing room (weaving room, perhaps?) with nothing to do but wait for "Murder She Wrote" reruns to come on.


We love you guys! Thanks for the itunes hookup!

Alas, all we poor Brits can do is wait in oh so sweet anticipation! :(

On a side note, I wouldn't worry about Ruth guys...there's a lot of 'prejudism' in Syracuse; especially towards "people like you" - after all, you're pretty much the most disliked race in the whole country!! Although..for someone who 'claims' not to be fond of you, she did manage to spell both your names correctly, so Kudos to her for that!

I shall keep as many of my body parts as I possibly can crossed in the hope that it makes the new season start sooner over here - after all, unlike Ruth, it is the type of programming that I REALLY enjoy!!

Don't mind me, I'm just chillin' back here in the company of my fellow (and gal) UK FotC fans.


We UK-ers are really cool people.

We're also very patient people.

Sometimes, some of us are so patient, we become a patient.


Now please don't let me keep you any longer; the sooner you're done with what you need to do, the sooner you'll be able to visit us on our telly screens here.




So.... uh,... go then, man!

"She makes a very good point with the

I'm glad Ruth dose not watch it. She seems like the type that should be more agreeable. And, since she is not, I don't agree with her on principle.

I think Ruth Spiegel's most heinous crime (that we know of) is not placing a prominent spoiler warning at the top of her review for the TiVo/International viewers. I mean, honestly. Some people.

I wouldnt mess with Ruth guys, she can see into the future! She wrote her review almost 1.5 hours before the show even aired. Ruth's in-depth and controversial analysis of your show is unparalled in the "biz". Either that or she just read the blurb in the tv guide and chose to say that "it is not the type of programming that I really enjoy." Maybe she only somewhat enjoys it. Or the only other possibility is that you have screeners and I didnt get one. =.. PS someone should tell her a Conchord is not a plane.

Now, now, let's not get on her case.


Let's leave that poor, sick critic alone, she's got problems enough as it is...

Anyway, to criticize her for her age is just... unsportsmanlike! Too easy a target. And we should be glad she didn't enjoy it.


How weird would it be for you to enjoy the same shows as your Mum or your Gran? Gives me the heebie-jeebies to consider it.


I bet that even Mrs. Clement and Mrs. Mackenzie are not fans of the show either... that's probably why Bret's not a fan of the band. Whenever he calls his Mum from his favourite box, she's always telling him to quit the band and get a real job - like holding signs.


:D

PS - Jemaine if you are feeling talkative tonight, tell me what you guys are singing in the bar scene - is it, "I saw my uncle last night, dancing to a rock band..."

Thanks.


Love, Me.
