I just finished watching the first five episodes of this funny show tonight. It's got the feel of the Tenacious D television show that only ran for six episodes mixed in with a bit of Extras. The show follows the band "Flight of the Conchords", a comedy band as they do regular things in life, the two main characters are quite monotone but they break into song a lot during the show and become alive through their music. The best moments of the show are usually when they break into their songs which are really cleverly written. One line which made me laugh a lot is when one of the members Bret sees this girl whom he thinks is Hot and says the line, "I wanna tell her how hot she is but she'll think I'm being sexist. She's so hot she's making me sexist. Bitch."
So far it's a pretty good show, I can see more of an indie crowd getting into it then other crowds, just from the style of the show. It just finished airing the first 12 episodes on HBO and a second season is slated for 2008. You can find most of the episodes on youtube. If you want a taste, just try some of their songs and see if it's something you'd like.
