I have only caught a few episodes of "Flight" so far but i loved it - some genuinely funny laugh out loud moments. Any of you see the groupie/threesome episode??

FOTC = awesome. Eagle vs. Shark is damn good too, shits all over Napoleon Dynamite.

The FOTC radio series (was in the UK) is also pretty good - pretty similar storyline to series 1 of the TV show though. 2nd TV series is coming later in the year smile

If you ever get the chance, I highly reccomend seeing them live, you won't regret it. I remember seeing them in bars on stand-up nights in Wellington before they "made it big", they rocked even back then.

I've never heard of it. It sounds like the debut album of a prog rock band.

overrated and not that funny. Humour for those who don't really like comedy, such as fans of the green wing or the mighty boosh.

Yes, Green Wing is shit. Mighty Boosh is alright. And this Conchords business looks alright.

jack you are such an idiot.

green wing was pretty good, mighty boosh (especially the first series) amazing and flight of the conchords funny in a nicely understated way.

My ma likes it though, and she generally doesn't like good comedy so I'm guessing it ain't my cuppa.

Mara considering you think people who don't like FOTC should be shot what would you do if you found the roman catholic in the back of your black taxi didn't like it?

These are the kind of philosophical issues Sartre wasn't likely to be wrestling with but that only shows there's a world of difference between Parisian left bank and the Belfast's North Queen Street.

I can't wait til Mara gets his own proper journo job, snaps one day, and starts writing mentals rants about public transport, women, children, and his favouriite murders.

I just finished the series during the week. Good shit.
New Zealand accents are amazing, and Murray is the best character.

Really? I can't stand them - when I came back here after spending a year overseas, I was actually disgusted at the NZ accent. Mine isn't the strongest, but I certainly still have one...
