I've found Conchords improves on re-watch, because there are so many little things you pick up the second (or fifth) time around (the New Zealand travel posters, for instance). Plus, I can't always absorb the genius inanity of the lyrics in one go sometimes.

I recently rewatched the whole first season and find this to be very true. Half the time I was asking myself "how did I miss that the first time around?" Except Bowie. I loved that episode enormously the first time.

According to my co-worker who spent a month in NZ last summer, the promotional posters in FotC are scarily accurate. And hilarious.

I began paying attention to them after Murray was concluding approving one just as the boys were coming into his office for a band meeting. IIRC, it was a photo of a rock.

Which reminds me of the tourist promotion show, with the Australian guy saying, (paraphrase), well WE'VE got Ayers Rock. Then Jemaine playing along with the tape. Then the list of pros and cons between Bret and the tape and the discussion of them between Murray and Jemaine. "Bret doesn't fit into my pocket very well."

I might have to buy Season so I can rewatch it.

Oh! New Yorkers, what can you tell us about their apartment? It looks like a kind of creep neighborhood to me, but I don't know a thing about New York.

Another question about TFofC: Mel - in the last ep, she's revealed to be the junior psych professor at the (I think) unnamed university and Roger the fired senior professor, so they are a couple, not father and daughter, right? end

I always thought Mel & Roger were made out to be a couple.

She has the kind of face that makes it very hard to tell age. I wasn't sure at first, I thought she was a teen (pink sweatshirts) and he was her father. Perhaps that's one reason why they added the last scene, to clarify that, besides that it's hecka funny that that is the profession.

They are a couple - she was his grad assistant.

No mention of Burn Notice? Finally saw it last night and loved it. Some blogger last year talked about the "take-away" aspect of the show, i.e. the stuff you walk away with that you didn't know before. Now I know how to drive through the woods in a cadillac without setting off the airbag sensors and how to drill through a floor and anchor it so it doesn't fall into the room I'm breaking into.

This show is so much fun.

They've been running commercials highlighting exactly that aspect of th show recently.
