That's really great. IOrN, Drinky Crow got picked up for three eps, although as I understand it, they are trying to get more.
Yeah. He's my hero.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I've only watched the first ep of John from Cin. thus far, but I am liking it. It's weird in a way that works for me.

It's taken a while, but I can finally look at Jennifer Beals as Bette, L-word art dealer, without thinking "Oh! Flashdance chick!" I don't know why it took so long...didn't really like "Flashdance" but I guess she was *so* the face of 1984...

I've finally gotten through the first 3 episodes of FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS and I gotta say I love it. The deadpan of it just cracks me up, as do the boys "dance" moves.

I've only seen the first one, but it was pretty great.
Through the first 4 JfC, and I'm finding it pretty compelling TV. I don't know what's going on, but I'm fascinated.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
It's hard to pin-point what and how: but so far I downright love JfC.

I meant to ask if anyone is watching it. It's brilliant.
"He may be dead!"
"But what did he may be do?!"

It is. I love the musical numbers so much. I need to check up on the story behind this, because it's so random I'm amazed HBO picked it up.

You should check out their special, which is OnDemand if you have it. It does have a lot of the songs in the show, but you should enjoy it anyway.
I thought it was a little random that HBO picked up an act that isn't well known in the States, but as Jessica pointed out some time ago, they had a BBC show (maybe a radio show?), so they're not that unknown a quantity. It is akin to their picking up Ali G. And a few of the producers on the show are from Ali G., Mr. Show/Tenacious D., and Garry Shandling/Newsradio.

I don't think I do, but thanks for the head's up. It will be available in some format at some point (or HBO will re-run it when they re-run the episodes).
