HBO continues to kick ass. The Sopranos is gone, yes, but the new season of Big Love is kicking serious anus. Plus the new series, John from Cincinnati is showing early signs of brilliance also.

And while I wait for the return of the second funniest comedy in human history (Curb Your Enthusiasm) another new, moderately disturbed, utterly dazzling, hilarious comedy show is holding pattern. It's called Flight of the Conchords, named after the New Zealand parody singer/songwriter duo that write it and star in it. Flight of the Conchords is a sitcom about a New Zealand rock band who recently relocated to New York to get gigs and meet women. It has clever dialogue with obvious Monty Python influences, interspersed with music videos relevant to the scene in which it appears.

Here are two examples…

1. The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room

2. I'm not Crying

Here are a couple not from their show, but from random appearances on Australian television

3. The Humans are Dead

4.The Hiphopopotamus vs. the Rhymenoceros
