Although a bit more oblique, "subtle" is also not a word I'd use to describe that show. To me <i>Boosh</i> is as different from <i>Conchords</i> as <i>30 Rock</i> is from <i>Parks and Recreation</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-23308269901145735242009-12-11T13:57:50.876-05:002009-12-11T13:57:50.876-05:00Put down "miss him."Put down "miss him."Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381534898937310609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-69056210204220769252009-12-11T09:18:35.058-05:002009-12-11T09:18:35.058-05:00Too bad.

I love those Conchords boys, i think they've done great, it must be really hard to write a series, write songs and act on it, its just so much to do.<br /><br />i hope to see them soon.saraghinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-17984551564360300502009-12-11T00:10:57.215-05:002009-12-11T00:10:57.215-05:00Well, at least there's still the albums and th...Well, at least there's still the albums and the bbc radio series and the dvds for season 1 + 2 and there tours of comedy festivals and ... oh, I'll still miss them.
