I'm tempted to get HBO again. I'm often unimpressed with what's been passing for funny over the last decade. (Damn kids today!). Curb Your Enthusiasm is so painful I can't always get through an episode, although I readily admit it's hilarious. The English version of Coupling bored me (Women want to buy shoes, get their nails done and talk about their feelings, and men want to drink beer and play video games. That's really groundbreaking.) And I've always detested South Park. But Conchords really is brilliant. Even if you're not stoned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-42654116617435949512007-08-16T12:00:00.000-04:002007-08-16T12:00:00.000-04:00I wish some credit would be given to some unsung f...I wish some credit would be given to some unsung folks who are massively responsible for the success of FotC: the casting office. This show is filmed in NYC, using perfectly chosen offbeat actors.

I think 12 Miles of Bad Road is an hour-long comedy, and there's a Little Britain adaptation in the works, but I need Bret and Jemaine in my life.<BR/><BR/>I feel like a lot of young people are watching Conchords online, and I'm not even sure HBO minds because it might entice them to subscribe later. It feels like the buzz is building. One friend told me it's the best stoner show since Aqua Teen Hunger Force, so HBO has that demographic covered, for what it's worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-68283385639360762472007-08-16T10:31:00.000-04:002007-08-16T10:31:00.000-04:00It is such a brilliant and sublimely funny show--H...It is such a brilliant and sublimely funny show--HBO would be completely insane not to renew it.Rickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773465359487671887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-39939592469575928382007-08-16T09:29:00.000-04:002007-08-16T09:29:00.000-04:00I will be disappointed if this is its only season....I will be disappointed if this is its only season.

If Conchords doesn't return for season 2 I'm thinking of bagging out on HBO after The Wire's last season airs.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058269001140434569noreply@blogger.com
