Flight Of The Conchords

Finally saw the Michel Gondry episode.  Perfection.  I haven't been too blown away by this season so far, but this one was amazing, and the Girlfriends from the Past song might be my favorite of all of theirs.  I even liked Sarah Wynter, who was high on my list of least favorite actresses after her disastrous season of 24.  Obviously, Gondry's style was well-suited to the musical sequences, and those were great of course, but there were so many places throughout the episode where I just got that little twinge of Eternal Sunshine, in the way he framed a shot or moved the camera or lit the scene.

Best line of the episode, from when Murray was telling Jermaine what would happen if he had kids with the Australian girl: "They'll have to keep moving from city to city, chasing the perfect wave!"

They are really hit/miss this season. Only Sugarlumps and Too Many Dicks have been truly incredible. The one about realizing they're talking about the same girl was pretty good too. I love the cameos, especially Mary Lynn Rajskub!

'Flight of the Conchords' ending run
HBO comedy series won't be returning for a third season

"The Flight of the Conchords" is officially dead.

After months of speculation, the quirky HBO comedy series' co-creators Bret McKenzie, Jemaine Clement and James Bobin broke the news on their Web site.

"We've noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won't be returning for a third season," they wrote. "We're very proud of the two seasons we made, and we like the way the show ended."

Weaving story line and original songs, combined with the fact that the trio continues to reside in their native New Zealand, makes "Conchords" difficult to produce, prompting speculation over the past few months that McKenzie, Clement and Bobin would not return for a third season.

The show's second season earned a best comedy series nomination and a best actor nom for Clement.
