Underrated TV shows: Flight of the Conchords

Why aren't there more FOTC fans? Srsly guys.
It's such a subtle, entertaining show and it's really refreshing.
So much of comedy these days seems to be about pointing fingers, offending people and garnishing it with expletives. Flight of the Conchords provides two protagonists that, in a way, make fun of themselves. It's a thoroughly entertaining show full of brilliant songs. I own their CDs, DVDs of both seasons - they're great.

Centred on two New Zealanders who move to New York to pursue fame as musicians they only have one fan, the ever excited Mel, and their band manager Murray. It's a really light hearted and entertaining show. I highly recommend checking it out if you have HBO or getting the DVDs. This show has some great tunes, some wonderful lines and came up with the best excuse ever: David Bowie told me to do it in a dream

I actually first found out about Flight of the Conchords in sixth form when I was around 17 and a teacher played their song 'Foux du Fafa' in a lesson as 'educational material'

Below are a few FOTC songs, enjoy.
