Kiwi Craze Floods Cable And Satellite Tv

Billing themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo," Flight of the Conchords is a Kiwi comedy duo that specializes is in witticisms to the tune of an acoustic guitar. The widely popular television show can now be viewed on HBO via cable or satellite TV after having first been turned into a BBC radio series due to a number of acclaimed live performances.

Staring Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement, also known as Rhymenocerous Hiphopopotamus, respectively, the fictional series focuses on the duo as they try (rather unsuccessfully) to form an American fan base in New York City. Each episode features a number of ridiculous and hilarious song sequences that can be a real concert experience with a high definition set up.

The regular cast also features fellow comedians Rhys Darby as the New Zealand cultural attaché/band manager Murray, Arj Barker as their friend and personal adviser Dave, Kristen Schaal as crazed (and potentially only) fan Mel, David Costabile as Mel's either oblivious or tolerant husband Doug, and Eugene Mirman as their landlord Eugene. With such a winning ensemble, the laughs are virtually nonstop.

The television series premiered in 2007 and to the dismay of many only lived for two seasons. Due to the show's persistent popularity, HBO continues to air re-runs of Flight of the Conchords and can be viewed through cable and satellite TV.

Despite the unmotivated, unsuccessful characters they play in the show, Bret and Jermain have a number of feats under their belts that lead up to their television debut. They won the title of Best Alternative Comedy act at the 2005 US Comedy Arts Festival and Best Newcomer at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and were nominated for a Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2003.

In 2004, the BBC radio series under the same name began airing, resulting in a Sony Radio Academy Award for comedy. Much like the television series, the show focused on the dynamic duo trying to acquire a fan base but in London instead of New York. It also starred Rhys Darby as their manager along with narrator Rob Brydon and Jimmy Carr as the essential dedicated fan.

In 2007, they were musical guests on both David Letterman's Late Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. They also performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee and released the album The Distant Future in that same year. In February of 2008, The Distant Future took Home the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

Last year in 2009, Flight of the Conchords went on a national tour selling out at many venues across the country, demonstrating that no actual plotlines are necessary to render its anecdotal humor a success.

If dry humor, a couple of Kiwis and acoustic guitars sounds like your cup of tea, be sure to check out Flight of the Conchords on HBO or keep your eyes open for one of their live shows.
