So the team had only 7-8 good-great episodes in them (like last year). The worst Conchords song ever (even worse than Bowie!) had Bret as a Russian victim of cannibalism. The beginning and ending "natural sounds" percussion scenes were fine, but the potentially interesting domestic situation with Mel was mostly wasted. The harp thing didn't work, but it was nice to see Doug get some airtime. And Dave is always welcome.
If the show doesn't return for a third season (and let's hope that it does), the ending is ideal. But how they got there (their landlord not cashing any of their checks for 2 years) is certainly farfetched. This is the only episode over the past 10 weeks that I don't feel like watching again. I can't wait for the Season 2 DVD release (in August).
I liked this one a lot. The opening stomp routine is unique and funny. The song was too much for me, but the mel stuff was good and I like the shades of Guffman.
ReplyDeleteI'll give it another try then. Maybe it'll play better when I fastforward through the Russian song.
ReplyDeleteIt plays much better without the Russian song. The separation scene was great. And the opening percussion was great (love Jemaine's short robe).
