Flight Of The Conchords (Season 1)

You wouldn't think it'd be so hard to find a truly funny television series, but it is. And then a funny show that can be watched on dozens of repeated viewings? Dare I say, impossible? No. Because we have Flight of the Conchords, the show about a couple of hilarious Kiwi's in New York, trying to get their novelty band off the ground. Now, it was probably over dramatic to say Flight of the Conchords is the only funny show that can be viewed on endless repeat, but it is one of very few (Arrested Development, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, How I Met Your Mother among some of mine). Bret and Jemaine, the two men playing a dulled down version of themselves, are best when performing their songs. They are funny and smart (the songs, not the characters), and the duos comedy album is just as fantastic as the show. "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros" and "If Your Into It" are my favorite of their songs, but there are so many other classics. All I can say is, thank god their popularity is growing. Plus, incompetent manager Murray (Rhys Darby) and creepy fan Mel (Kristen Schaal) add an infectious charm to the show.
