I've recently starting doing stand-up and trying to write versatile material that will appeal to men and women is difficult. One of the other comedians told me "my wife really liked your act...you know, dieting and that stuff" in sort of a snide tone. I had other jokes, unrelated to "woman stuff" and despite the fact that I absolutely killed, he couldn't give me a real compliment. All I could think was "oh, this is how it is, huh?"

Second season

On August 17, 2007, HBO announced a second season for Flight of the Conchords, originally set to premiere in 2008[7], but which has been postponed to January 2009. Prior to the announcement, Jemaine Clement stated in an interview with The New Zealand Herald, “[HBO] is interested in doing another series but we have to think about it. It’s not a definite offer but they have talked about us starting writing but we’ve got other things we want to do as well”.[8] Bret McKenzie has stated in several interviews that the band has used up “97 percent” of their old songs in the first season. In an interview with The Star Ledger, he said “We’d need some time to develop new material. It’s like the second album syndrome. It might take a lot longer”.[9] Shortly after the renewal announcement, Clement stated in an interview that the second season would likely consist of fewer than twelve episodes “so they could concentrate on ‘quality not quantity’”.

McKenzie and Clement returned to their home town of Wellington to write for the second season[10], although the writing process was delayed by the 2007-2008 Writers Strike. Filming for the 10 episode second series began in September 2008. That same month, McKenzie and Clement were quoted in a Q interview that the second series would most likely be the last.[11]

I thought i had found my new favorite show that i could think of during hard times and feel warm inside. Then i popped in the second disc and i could hardly sit through half the episodes. Everything you described about the latter episodes is on point, i don't understand how quickly they fell off. It's been awhile since they've been away but i hope the 2nd season is as fresh as the show was when it first started. i rented season 1 dvd of FOTC and the first disc is HILARIOUS.

I was hunting around for Flight of the Conchords images and found one from your site somewhere. I got reading your latest entry about nerds and just wanted to say, from a male nerd to a female nerd, /agree, woot!, ftw. I'm not what you would call a complete nerd, but I love playing computer games, reading comics and being generally arty in my own strange style. I do enjoy creating web pages in HTML script though... So.. um, yeah. Good on you ^_^ It seems everything is about confidence.. whatever it is you try to do. For me I need a boost just to go into a store to purchase things, I hate being out and about. Um, hope this comment finds you well. - Matt Hey! Greetings from a Geek across the Pond.
