Flight of the Conchords:
Season 1, Episode 1: “Sally”
Grade: 7.0

I had seen this episode before but since Matt and I are starting the show I figured I’d give my thoughts on the first episode. The best parts of this show are the songs. They are consistently hilarious from the 4 episodes I’ve seen and I always love listening to them. They are weird and make no sense at all and that is what I love about them. It’s completely self aware, does not take itself seriously but at the same time its actually good music. I adore Jemaine and Bret and Murray and Mel. All of that being said I am perfectly aware going in that this won’t be one of my all time favorite shows along with Extras but will be something that I really really thoroughly enjoy. The only problem with it that I have is that in an effort to be slightly off kilter it seems to think that repeating the same sentences over and over again are funny but after a while they aren’t. There was one scene with Bret and Jemaine literally repeating the same thing over and over and getting nowhere in the conversation and the joke was that they were getting nowhere in the conversation but I cannot handle getting nowhere in a conversation like that for that long. The first episode was also really random as a first episode but it’s hard to expect a proper pilot from this show. But still I really like the characters, the tone of the show and especially the music and the scenes in which they perform because it’s so ridiculously funny.
