Sounds like mine, but she has laughed - although I hear "this is stupid" more.

Flight Of The Conchords 7/15/07 - "Sally Retuns"
Well, the other Sunday HBO shows get their own threads, and while Conchords hasn't been a big hit, it does have a cult following (including me! 
). So let's see if anyone wants to post thoughts about tonight's episode.
I'm not usually happy when they recycle songs from their stand up routine, but this time I say bring on

DVD Talk Limited Edition
HBO has put an episode for viewing online:
http://www.hbo.com/conchords/
(probably to build interest in the show - I doubt they do this for very long)

Business Time was great, as was the song at the end where they both declared their love. This show took a few viewings to get me hooked, but once you get in, you wont get out, its truly a funny, funny show.

I turned off the first ep, but sat through the third and now I'm hooked. Now I need to catch repeats of the first two eps. The recycling/foreplay bit had me rolling!

Yeah, I liked the song Jermaine wrote for Bret, but other than that I didn't like it much. The Bowie thing was just too weird IMO - and they didn't quite nail Labyrinth Bowie (although the bobbles were a nice touch) I found the 'Bowie in Space' segment to be pretty weak. Although when Mel was complimenting Bret (and slamming Jermaine), that was pretty funny too.

What was the deal with the magazine photo? The first time we see it, it's a distance shot with the caption "Tenacious Dundee?" Then when they show it again, it's a close up, and the caption is gone.

I thought the episode was great. I loved the Bowies, the photo shoot, and everything.
It's dangerously close to venturing too far into crazy town a la later seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but this show is just freaking great. I was cracking up.
"I am 1987 Bowie from the film Labyrinth."
"Yeah, I know"

It's 1986 Bowie. I thought it was by far the weakest episode. Few laughs to be found, and after last week's near classtic, it's even more disappointing. Still Mel steals every scene she's in. Hoping for better stuff next week.
