Flight of the Conchords, Season 1

Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie — a.k.a. Flight of the Conchords ("New Zealand's 4th Most Popular Folk Parody Duo") — have brought their act to New York's East Village with hopes of conquering America . . . one fan (literally) at a time. But finding someone in the U.S.A. who knows their act is about as easy as finding a kiwi nest in Central Park. In Season 1 of this irreverent musical-comedy series, cutting-edge folk-comedy performance duo Jemaine and Bret move to downtown Manhattan where they hang out, go to bohemian parties, interact with their one obsessed fan, get mugged by inept thugs, and pursue elusive women. Their innocent, misguided efforts to find romance or land a gig rarely yield dividends, but they do spawn an abundance of plaintive tunes about life, love, and the pursuit of an elusive music video.
