Flight of the Conchords, sadly, has come to an end.
If I were to be perfectly honest about it, I’m of two minds on this. Part of me is quite sad about it, as it was one of the funniest shows out there. The songs were hilarious, the deliver impeccable.
But the problem is that the show was based on the songs that FOTC (Bret and Jemaine) composed. The first season was based on songs they already had written. Season two took as long as it did to get on the air because they had to write a whole slew of new songs.
While Season 2 was not as consistently hilarious as the first, it was still funnier – consistently – than most sitcoms.
Bret, Jemaine and James (co-creator/director) said “we’ve noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a 3rd season. We’re very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended. We’d like to thank everyone who helped make the show and also everyone who watched it. While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist.
I just have to say, I’m quite relieved that the REAL Bret & Jemaine will continue to exist.
For those who can’t remember how the second season ended: Bret & Jemaine were deported back to New Zealand, where they were tending sheep on a mountaintop.
Here are some of my favorite FOTC songs:
