HBO says yes to more Conchords - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Variety reports that Home Box Office has picked up a second season of the musical comedy Flight of the Conchords.

The quirky hit is popular among young viewers, an elusive demographic for the premium cable channel.

If you haven't seen/heard of Flight of the Conchords yet, it is more than worth checking out. The show follows real life New Zealand musical-comedy act Flight of the Conchords, Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Jemaine Clement, as fictionalized versions of themselves. Hilarity and mini music videos ensue as the "starving artists" deal with breaking big and a wonderfully inept agent.

Wow, I had no idea. This is great news! I figured FOTC was going to be just a little HBO filler show. HBO does that with some shows. Thanks for posting that, Brian.

You'll either love it or hate it. If you do watch, it's a good idea to watch the eposides in order. A lot of their jokes build off one other, and lots of references are made to things that happened in prior shows.
