Cheery News For A Monday!

flightoftheconchords.jpgWe are most chuffed to discover that Channel Ten have bought the rights to the TV show Flight Of The Conchords and it will (at last, perhaps, just maybe – MAYBE!!!!!) end up being shown in Australia before the year is through!


After becoming an internet and TV sensation, and picking up a Grammy Award along the way, one can only wonder what the three more popular acts have achieved compared to Flight of the Conchords.

The comedy team/folk music duo of Bret McKenzie, 31, and Jemaine Clement, 34 are two Kiwis who worked clubs for years building up a cult following before getting their big break.

Their eponymous TV show portrays the pair trying to make it big in New York City after leaving New Zealand.

Each episode is punctuated with outbreaks of their quirky songs.

Network Ten has bought the rights to the TV series and may screen the show in Australia later this year.

If you need a reason to feel excited about being able to dive into the beautiful comic minds of Bret McKenzie and our future husband Jermaine Clement, we urge you to watch the following clip.

We hadn’t watched this in over a year (thanks to Ms Fits who originally gave us the gift of FOTC, incidentally), and now we’re swept up in sickly, sticky, stalky adoration of the lads again.

    They’re like a Kiwi version of Tripod. Only with two people. Duopod, perhaps?
