Brandon H. gave it a9:
This is a fresh, funny show that shouldn't be over looked. I would suggest listening to there songs before watching there show, that way you can appreciate it more.

Teresa S gave it a10:
Very, very funny!

Stone M gave it a0:
Boring!! A cloying, annoying self-consciously quirky show.

Steve B gave it a10:
I love those Kiwis! That show is fresh and New Zealand is so hot right now!

Lynne E gave it a10:
So funny. But these guys are clever and very talented. Good show HBO

Alasdair C gave it a10:
Absolutely brilliant and completely hilarious.

Francisco S gave it a5:
A 5 just for its originality, but really I didn't find it funny. I think they are pretentious and try too hard to be clever and absurd.

Chris H. gave it a10:
The funniest show on television in years. I hope it comes back!

Paul B. gave it a10:
This show is excellent, the musical interludes make it a little surreal but it is my favourite show and to get reviews from critics of 6.8 is a joke.

Susan S. gave it a10:
"Unique" doesn't come close to describing the overall concept and superb writing and of course the acting of Bret and Jemaine. I agree that the "experts" either don't get this show, like they didn't get Arrested Development and other great shows, or they've grown too old and stogy to care much anymore. The closest thing to this I'd say is Ricky Gervais' "Extras".

Arjun K. gave it an8:
Good laughs, good first season.

Christian M. gave it a10:
The TV show that I most look forward to.

Shawn M. gave it a9:
The music video sequences are just hillarious. I can watch them over and over.

Andy M. gave it a10:
The mostest funniest, brilliantest and every other est-est show on the tele. Love it long time.

Mark S. gave it a10:
It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud nowadays but this show does it for me every time. I already new of the comedy duo and how hilarious they are but nothing prepared me for Murray the band manager! This is pure comedy gold.

Glen H. gave it a9:
Definitely one of the funniest shows I've seen since Extras, 100% recommend this not just for 'kids', I think an older crowd can enjoy this but for sure it's aimed at young adults and it's a real joy. These guys write some hilarious tunes and Jemaine and Murray are killer. Watch this show.

Ben V. gave it a10:
The funniest show I have ever seen on TV. Its intelligent, witty, subtle, and awesome. I have seen every episode 4 times and am still laughing at every joke.

Ted L gave it a10:
Love this show!

Tom Y gave it a10:
the critics for once got it wrong. this is a much better show than a 68. along with Extras and the Wire, HBO continues to put out the best stuff on TV. FOTC is an exceptionally quirky and hilarious show. the musicians are quite talented musically and extremely funny as well.

k p gave it a10:
Hilarious

Carl M gave it a10:
Classic humour. Amazed that one pro reviewer gave it such a duff rating, but maybe he just didn't get it

John H gave it a5:
watchable but nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is. Songs are the best thing but comedy acting is far too smug and self satisfied. Ok for kids but adults should watch bbcs Peep show - so much better

David P gave it a10:
I'm almost becoming obsessed with this one. It's the best show I've seen in ages. One of few where I've actually been falling off my chair laughing. I think it really deserves a bigger audience.

Jason J. gave it a10:
Maybe there needs to be a larger pool of critics? 68? Are you kidding? It's the funniest stuff that's been on T.V. in a long time. All it will take is for season 2 to be as good as the first.

Mike G gave it an8:
Sure, there are a few repetitive moments. And, yes, this has all been done before. That being said, it's hard to imagine it being done better or much funnier than it's being done here. Bret and Jemaine are both brilliant, and the supporting cast brings every role to life. This is an absurd universe they've created: an adolescent's vision of what being in a band and living in the big city is like; and they do it with a slapstick sense of joy that harkens back to the Marx Brothers.

S F. gave it a10:
Love this show. very funny and they look great. Destined for great things.

David D. gave it a9:
This show resonates beautifully for New Zealanders and is a fantastic cartoon version of NZ male culture. Most of us really are that awkward (at least from age 14 to 27). I suspect only NZ, Aussie, and S. Africa natives with repressed boys' school backgrounds will be falling over themselves laughing. Good on Americans for giving it a try. Sadly here in NZ it is relegated to cable which is a true crime given the load of crap we usually get on major networks.

Cory L. gave it a10:
the best show in a long time

Phil P. gave it a10:
Love this show - best thing on TV since Arrested Development ended

Rob W gave it a10:
Being a New Zealander I have no problems with the accents as we have other CPANC (central part of the North American Continent) shows over here. NYers are pretty easy to understand. The humour is universal to intelligent folk, and so much more intelligent for them being able to do it without using anything controversial. Their characters are not dull at all, they are quite typical of New Zealanders. In fact they could be described as quite charismatic.

Bob A. gave it a10:
Almost always brilliant.

Anji L. gave it a10:
I absolutely love this show! ALL the characters are hilarious and the songs are great!

Phil J. gave it a9:
This show is hit or miss, but when it misses it's an inside the park homerun. And when it hits it's an out of the park power swing of steroidic proportions.

Louise G. gave it a10:
The most original show in ages. Can't remember the last time I laughed so much watching a show.

Matt A. gave it an8:
While not as good as such recent comedy classics such as Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, and the British version of The Office, this is much better than, say, the overrated and usually painfully unfunny American version of the The Office. Both leads are great, the scenarios are hilarious, and the music is almost always catchy and well-written. The only reason for the 8 is that it can get a little tedious at times, but overall, very good.

The Kind gave it a10:
Unbelievable, quite possibly one of the best shows ever, clever, funny, original, awesome dry humor.

[Anonymous] gave it a10:
amazing. one of the best shows on tv today.

J J gave it a10:
One of the best and most 'fresh' shows i've seen in years. Humor is subtle and smart and the characters are well-done by these guys. Please make more episodes!

Jordan H gave it a10:
my favorite new show. tons of funny songs and great cast, everything works together, this and curb your enthusiasm are the 2 best shows on TV

jeff j. gave it a10:
Absolutely the funniest show on television. My whole family watches the show religiously. Please HBO, renew this series!!!!

Alonso g. gave it a10:
Great, simple and very entertaining, exactly how it should be. Really enjoy it

Ted J gave it a10:
My favorite show this summer! Gentle humor, dryly delivered. Great songs and music videos.

Alex gave it a5:
Yes, it's funny at times, but overall the show is lame and tiring. Each episode has been virtually the same (Brit leaves the band, they don't understand NYC, Jermain can't get a girlfriend, they're from New Zealand!) and the musical interludes are like the same one-note SNL skit. There might be laugh out loud moments in nearly every episode, but the problem is I've seen much better. To anyone who likes this show, I would recommend watching the BBC program "Peep Show" which is essentially the same show, only with real, complex characters and a funnier script. The main difference is that you empathize with them as well as laugh at them.

David A. gave it a10:
After watching this show if has become my new favorite. I can't get enough of it. The thing about this show is that it's not stupid. I can laugh at a show like this but not to a show like Family Guy. Their jokes are small, which is good because it ends them quicker. Other shows out there outstretch their jokes to where it fails horribly. Heres hoping Flight of the Conchords lasts for 4 or so more seasons. ;)

Valerie A gave it a10:
I have never been inclined to review or rate a show in my life, THAT'S how much I love FOTC.

Mike B gave it a9:
You'd think they would run out of creativity and consistently brilliant songs, but they never do and hopefully they never will. Bret and Jermaine obviously steal the show but they supporting cast is also very solid, hopefully this show lasts.

Bub Pasta gave it a10:
Like it more each week.

Kathy gave it a10:
Fun, different!

Movie Boy Dot Com gave it a3:
LOL people from NZ sound like they are from AUS and UK... Thats so funny. How'd they come up with that idea? They should keep repeating that joke it will never get old! k thnx

Mel M gave it a10:
This show makes me laugh out loud every episode. I love these guys... I think I may really be Mel..

Alexandra gave it a10:
My new favorite show on tv. I love Bret and Jermaine, and totally wish I could be friends with them.

Paul S gave it a9:
The greatness of this show is the set-up and preformace of the songs. They are interwoven within the story line and give the viewer an additional emotion "angle". Plus, they're funny and quite catchy. I will give the show a 10 if they come back for another season so that should be incentive enough to start another production. It's a great show and all of New Zealand should be very proud of them!

Tam H. gave it a10:
A amazing show. So FUNNY. Everyone I show this to loves it. I hope it's on for a very long time!

Harlan gave it a10:
To truly enjoy this show you must have Tivo. There is no way to get all the subtle and uniquely amazing bits of genius in just one watching. The best part is watching each episode numerous times and finding hidden gems that other shows would not bother trying to fit in. I only hope the guys get the chance to blossom over a couple of more seasons. Remember no show was perfect it's first season, but this is as close as anyone has gotten so far! Thanks HBO!

bat-s gave it a10:
my face hurts from laughing so much! i love them.

Evan H gave it a10:
One of the funniest shows of the year. The songs happen to be pretty amazing, not to mention hysterical!

Taylor gave it a10:
soooooooo good

Shauna C gave it a10:
This show is awesome! It is extremely funny and it is not offensive, so lots of people can enjoy it. I have been telling all of my friends about this show, and every single person who has had a chance to see clips just loves the Flight of the Conchords. I hope everyone starts watching this show, so that we all can enjoy Flight of the Conchords for years to come. This is the comedy series I've been waiting for. Jemaine and Bret are Heeeelarious through and through! I give them my highest recommendation, completely and without reservation.

Patrick S gave it a10:
This is a great show for anyone who is a music fan. The songs are hilarious, well structured, and actually well written. The jokes and storylines still produce laughs, but they are mainly just set-ups for their songs which are the true stars of the show. If you like comedy and music, give this show a shot. I love it and watch it every week.

Michael H gave it a10:
Amazing, two very talented individuals, but lets not forget Rhys Darby (Murray the band manager) who is also a hit. I hope this show never gets cancelled as it is already up there as, dear i say it my favourite show ever! If anything lets the show down it must be that annoying yank character who has a cruch on Bret and Jermaine

Marc H gave it a10:
BRILLIANT!!!!

Uthred S gave it a9:
The songs are what make the show. Not sure how long this series can last without getting stale but very funny so far.

Lisa B gave it a10:
This is the funniest show I've ever seen! I saw pre-season commercials for it that didn't pique my interest but caught a show by accident and found myself bursting out loud. That never happens!

Ryan W gave it a9:
This is an excellent show and I really enjoy their awesome music.

Margi T gave it a10:
This is the funniest show I have seen in a long time. I love all the songs. Jemaine is eye candy too!

Josh J gave it a10:
Quirky, original, and very dry. Good stuff!

Dirk G gave it a9:
Great, subtle and wry humor. The leads are really charismatic and Mel (not Meg) is hilarious as their only fan. There are occasional rough spots, but pound for pound it's still funnier than most stuff out there, and when it hits, it REALLY hits. Agree with Mike H.: this stuff sticks in your head for days.

Sam R gave it a10:
This show is phenomenal. It's so original. It's awkward comedy at it's best (trailing curb your enthusiasm) and it's songs are more laughs than you can handle.

Zack M gave it a9:
The joke density is fairly low, but a recent episode had me laughing out loud a good four or five times. The songs range from goofy to spot-on, and the incompetent manager, Murray, is a brilliant addition to the Conchords' chemistry.

Mike H. gave it a10:
Instantly joins the ranks of the truly must-see TV with CYE, Extras and past favorites like Da Ali G Show and The Office(original) because it stays in your head for days and becomes a topic of conversation with the uninitiated. It's brilliant.

Jack S gave it a10:
Absolutely the funniest show on tv. Their sense of humor make it one of a kind. Should come before Enterouge!

Kylee N. gave it a10:
It's amazing, the funniest thing I have seen on television. However, I do think you have to have a certain type of personality to enjoy this delightful show.

Jon M gave it a10:
Probably one of the most original shows I have ever seen. I love it.

Steve L gave it a10:
HBO has another great Sunday night show. One of the best shows on TV.

Justin C gave it a10:
This show just plain makes me happy. The characters are simultaneously sweet, smart and innocent which makes them a delightful and refreshing change from the run of smarmy, acidic comedies we've had lately. Anyone who says it's just for Kiwis, Aussies, etc is just wrong.

AKC gave it a10:
Unique and very funny. The best comedy on TV since the Ali G show. The pace is different, but to confuse understated (but sharp) comedy with boring is a mistake. Be patient- it's worth it- and hopefully HBO agrees and extends the show's run...

Croc M gave it a9:
Thankfully HBO isn't afraid to take risks. Flight of the Conchords is the most unique comedy of the year.

Kez M gave it a10:
Brilliant show!! Original, wacky, great songs and characters. I'm hooked!!

C.B. gave it a10:
magical

Ross D gave it a10:
This show is funny.. British humo reven thought they're from new zealand

Theo C gave it a10:
A breath of fresh air in a world that's generally become more and more bereft of originality.

Gabe G gave it a10:
This is a well needed show and praise the hbo network for giving it a chance

Joy J gave it a10:
One of the most unique and funny shows on t.v.

Scott N. gave it a10:
This brilliant, understated comedy. Its not shouting at the rooftops and its not taking the piss. These guys have brilliant timing, simple stories and hilarious songs. Perhaps it is only for Kiwi's, Aussies and Brits but still worth a look if you arent one of the above.

Brendan P gave it a10:
This show is brilliant in execution and remastering the band's classic songs. It's one of the best pseudo-reality show currently on television.

Dan W gave it a9:
the musical scenes alone are enough to make your sides hurt with laughter

shawn c. gave it a10:
Flight of the conchords is brilliant. Its very eccentric and hits a very unique comedy vibe. The two lead actors have a very strong on screen presense and they both have amazing chemistry and comic timing. The show also features some amazing musical segments that are hilarious. This show is sure to be a classic.

Chaz W gave it a3:
Not very funny at all. It was like trying to quench one's thirst, by drinking a bucket of sand. Maybe, if I were a Kiwi, Aussie, or Brit, it might be funny.

B F. gave it a10:
This show may be too clever for its own good. I can only hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as Lucky Louie, and go over the heads of these philistines... Seriously funny show. Please for the love of God, watch it, record it, then watch it again...

Tom W. gave it a10:
I don't usually rate shows, and with this series I expected a rehash of Tenacious D's three episode run on HBO. However, I've never been so impressed with a musical coemdy show. FotC blows sketch comedy shows on MTV and FUSE out of the water.

Joseph P. gave it a10:
Flight of the Conchords is an exceptional, innovative comedy!

roman mc gave it a9:
"I can't man, I'm too scared." Classic.

Richard D. gave it a10:
This show is fantastic. Hilarious. I can't get enough.

chris r gave it a9:
It's funny. Along the same lines as "the office". Watch and listen carefully and you will laugh. With all of the other trash on TV.... I am amazed that any critic could dislike this show.

Lars T gave it a9:
Getting better all the time...3 episodes in and the subtle hilarity keeps getting better. Meg is the best fan ever....

john s gave it a10:
Best New Show Since Extras. If you don't get it, don't worry, it just means that you are not smart enough.

M H gave it a10:
Dry, subtle and very funny. This show is not for people who need to be told when to laugh.

Colby S. gave it an8:
After watching the first two episodes, I'm convinced that this show is highly underrated. Sure, it's not knee-slapping funny, but I got a few laughs from it and the music's well-done on top of the humor. Subtlety wins.

Brett C. gave it a10:
THE funniest new show on television. I can't stop laughing

Collin Hayes gave it a9:
The pilot episode, typically viewed as the worst episode for new television shows, was great. Bret and Jermaine will continue to shine on HBO.

Geoff gave it a10:
screw you les this is one of the best shows, did seinfeld have a point, i think not

Frank R gave it a10:
Two words: Binary Solo (you have to watch the credits to catch it) This show is brilliant and the changing tag lines on the New Zealand posters are great!

brompton m gave it a4:
i would love to see the reviews if they didn't have the kiwi accents. tenacious d lite.

Hubert gave it a9:
Very funny and original. The pilot actually made me laugh out loud a few times. People who think this is too dry and boring probably love 'Friends'...

R V gave it a10:
Amazing show. If the next 3 episodes are as funny as the first, the show will be a big hit.

sam h gave it a10:
this is one of the best new shows.

Bobby gave it a10:
Hilarious - There is only one kind of Dance. The robot. And the robo-boogie. Oh yes, two kinds......of dances.

Matthew gave it a10:
Absolutely hysterical--the most original and creative show I have seen in a very long time.

winterforge gave it a10:
Hilarious!!! Must watch if you have HBO.

Larry B gave it a9:
The dialogue needs some strengthening to get people to understand just how funny this is. Previous fans will love it immediately, but those new to FOTC will be caught up after the first two or three episodes I'd bet. Their screen report will have to come along to be anything as effective as it is on the standup stage.

Chris B gave it a10:
Don't just call it Seinfeld with an edge. The writing and delivery are so subtle that you will find yourself laughing even harder the second time you watch it. This is how a comedy team is supposed to work.

mike a gave it a10:
awesome, original and innovative - keep it up HBO.

omar n gave it a10:
these guys are likeable and their songs are hilarious. can't wait for the next showing!

Leland K gave it a9:
Innovative comedy that i did enjoy

chris g gave it a9:
excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Les gave it a4:
Quirky -- definitely. Funny -- rarely. The characters' deadpan delivery could be very effective iif their words contained anything ironic, or witty, or even simply shocking -- but mostly they are just staggeringly dull. The concept -- a day in the life of two marginal and utterly clueless musicians -- showed promise but so long as the writing and acting remains as weak as in the first episode (mostly the writing -- given the premise, the weak acting cuuld work well with the right script), it seems pretty pointless.

[Anonymous] gave it a10:
One of the most original comedies I've seen on TV in a while. Quite funny. My only concern, having seen their live act, is what they're going to do when they run out of songs. They've got enough for at least one full season, but it's tough writing songs that are that funny. I hope they make it, cause it's funny stuff.

Greg G gave it a10:
Loved it.

Justin C. gave it a9:
A very original comedy and one of the best I've seen in a long while. I'll definitely be tuning in next week to watch the next episode.

Robot Boogie gave it a10:
just amazing.. Made me remember what it is to watch something new, refreshing and just plain funny.

Ben gave it a10:
Understated and deadpan...but funny for all the right reasons.

Evie B. gave it a7:
What you'd get if Wes Anderson art directed The Office. Funny, yes, but I don't know. Something about it left me feeling a little cycnical (probably the Wes Anderson part of the equation...)

kathy s gave it a9:
Awesome, funny and very different.

Jew Daddy From Cincinnati gave it a10:
Episode 1 is already online at HBO.com. It's Really funny !, I'll be a loyal viewer. Funny Music : "We are robots from the distant future. From the year 2000."
