Flight of the Conchords, Season 1

I have watched so much television in the past 8 months. Does it have to do with the fact that have an eight month old? Definitely. Between feeding someone who eats a lot, being too tired to do much else, and being more homebound these days.... tv has become a big past time in our home. Especially with me.

That being said, Rowdy and I finished Season One of The Flight of the Conchords last night. This show is about 2 guys from New Zealand who are trying to make their band big in NYC. The supporting cast of their superfan, Mel, and band manager, Murray, really help round out the show. It's a light, silly show that I have a feeling people either love or hate. We laughed our heads off the first few episodes.... got used to the routine in the middle... and then they may have sucked us back in to Season 2 with the final episode. Here are my top 3 episodes:

1. "Sally" - The Conchords are introduced to us in this episode and give 3 amazing songs to the audience - "I'm Not Crying" being my personal favorite:

I'm not crying
It's just been raining
on my face
And if you think you see some tear tracks down my cheeks
Please. Pleasee, don't tell my mates
I'm not crying
No, I'm not crying
And if I am crying
It's not because of you
It's because I'm thinking about a friend of mine who you don't know who is dying
That's right, dying
These aren't tears of sadness because you're leaving me
I've just been cutting onions
I'm making a lasagna
For one

2. "Mugged" - We are introduced to the rapping alter egos of The Conchords - The Rhymenoceros & Hiphopopotamus. My favorite song is in the episode and I sang it for days following.

Other rappers dis me
Say my rhymes are sissy.
Why? Why? Why?
What?
Why exactly?
What? Why?
Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?
Why?

Why, because I rap about reality?
Like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea?
There ain't no party like my nanna's tea party.
Hey! Ho!

3. "The Third Conchord" - We decided we liked this show, but were done with it - UNTIL the season finale left us wanting more. The band picks up a new member, splits into 2 bands, switches members, and we see our supporting cast leave The Conchords. What is going to happen? Arf. Arf.
