News > Flight of the Conchords will return

It looks like another season of hilarious reality/sketch/musical comedy from New Zealand will be gracing HBO's airwaves, so says TVGuide. The show, which just wrapped up its inaugural season on the Home Box Office, has been wildly successful, and for good reason. It's goddamn hilarious. The show has gained a sort of cult following, starring two dudes who sing folk songs about ridiculous shit. They move to New York, and are attempting to achieve super-stardom in the city of dreams. It's good, which is lucky for HBO. Their lineup has been going through some significant changes as of late, and it's nice to see them renew two of their more successful comedy/short format spots, Entourage and Flight of the Conchords.  Now if only they could successfully develop another in depth serialized drama on par with Rome, Deadwood, or The Sopranos, they would be gravy....if only.
