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.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

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

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).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Most of the special is on YouTube, actually -- in bits and pieces, but still.

The rap number while they were getting mugged had me on the floor.
I'm the motherflipper!

GF and I gave up on JfC after the third ep. I was somewhat intrigued, but the bad acting and grossness of some of the dialog was enough to kill it for me. Depending on what I hear, it may be a renter when it comes on DVD.
We're enjoying Big Love this season. I hope there is more Rhonda! She kills me.
