"My point is, if you were to, say, record a song that was "anti-AIDS", for example, then you'd end up alienating all those people that are "pro-AIDS.""

Murray is becoming my favorite sitcom character ever.

Watched a few episodes when I was pissed at my mates house. I remember laughing at the song in the party and the rapping when they were getting mugged.

Brabara looked a lot like Jennifer Aniston, don't you think?

no

But that's my favorite episode. I sing the "epileptic dogs" song to my niece all the time. And she always smiles.
I love when bret says "i thought they were dancing". :DD

I think they chose the right time to leave it, though. Much as I enjoyed the second season, the songs were (mostly) nowehere near as good as they were in S1.

I chuckled at the songs but didn't find the show particularly funny. Didn't give it much chance, mind.

Well, no one really knows if there's going to be another series or not. If it's finished it's okey since it ended perfectly, but i wouldn't mind if there was more.

And i think overall the second season was better, even if the songs weren't as memorable. Still i loved that fashion song, the one where they start using gel. And the epileptic dogs of course.

This is one of my favourite tv shows.

Also, Sub Pop has said that they plan to release all of their stuff on Rock Band via RBN. Good news.

I also wore an "official" Flight of the Concords T Shirt at glastonbury.

Just a plain white T Shirt with "Flight of the Concords" written on it in biro.

I've never really seen this. I've glanced at it a few times but always turned it off straight away, fearing it might be a bit Boosh-like.

It's like boosh but instead of annoying it has funny.

It's safe to try. I think you'd find it amusing. As mentioned above the bit's between songs are not as funny.

Alcohol will help.

Is it? I've not seen Boosh, but I'll probably give it a go if it's like FOTC.

Boosh is okay. It's more surreal & nowhere near as clever. First series was good, 2nd was ok but suffered from trying to hard to be odd, 3rd series turned the wrong stuff up to 11. The Hitcher episode is the best it ever gets IMO.

They are though.

They are so bad and awkward that they are funny!

Ok then.

I've only watched them after several cheeky scoops whilst a friend skipped through them to stuff he liked.

You have to watch a few before you "get" it for what it is.

Everyone loves the songs, for sure, as that's the best bit.

It's a wonderful sitcom that happens to feature songs. In many episodes the songs aren't the best bits at all.

Yeah, it is a really fucking good sitcom.

The best episodes are when the songs are excellent and fit into the episode well, see the one Michel Gondry directed (too many dicks/Carol Brown)

I still think the first one with ("You're So Beautiful", "Robo-boogie" and "I'm Not Crying") was the best.

Apparently the same people who do FOTC released a film today called 'Diagnosis: Death'.

I saw my first episode on a flight to Croatia and laughed like an idiot. In the dead of night. The stewardesses weren't amused.
