How does HBO get all the great shows?

Almost a year ago, I blogged about a comedy duo from New Zealand named Flight of the Conchords. I also mentioned that a show for HBO was in the works. Well, the first season is in the can and already out on DVD (and subsequently in my DVD collection). The show tells the story of Bret and Jemaine, who try to make it in New York, managed by their idiotic manager Murray and stalked by their lone (but insane) female fan Mel. The humour is subtle. The songs in (or in between) each skit are uproarious.

I highly recommend it............
