I thought about adding it to the "favorite shows" posting, but it's so good it deserves its own entry entirely. Sometimes, it's so funny I don't even get it. It goes beyond the limits of my comprehension. I laugh, of course, but there are times that the humor is so oddball and bizarre that my puny brain just can't comprehend the hilariousness.
Flight of the Conchords profiles a New Zealand folk band trying to make it big in New York City. Band Manager Murray (and New Zealand consulate employee) is so intent on success that he can only fail (humorously, of course). The show delicately peppers songs and music videos throughout, so I'm never bored.
What's your favorite Flight of the Conchords song? I have two: Albi the Racist Dragon and Business Time. To be honest, Business Time has taken my relationship to a new level - Jamie looks at my team-building exercise t-shirt in a whole new way.

New Favorite Shows...
I know you've been dying to know what my shows of the moment are, so here goes:
1. Mad Men
Which is "Madison Men" abbreviated. The AMC show follows New York City advertising executives (all male) in 1960, delving into their relationships with the women in their lives: wives, secretaries and the consumer base. Funny that it takes the men so long to realize that women hold the purchasing power. The cinematography is breathtaking and the costumes... c'est fabulous.
2. My Boys
The story of a Chi-town girl and her "boyz." Sorry, couldn't resist. The TBS show is endearing as it is all too close to reality - I had a group of guys friends that were just as crass and lovable as the gang she's got goin' on. And, Jim Gaffigan is a god and can do no wrong in my eyes.
3. Weeds
'Nuff said. I just got into Season One (don't give anything away), and I am entranced by the subject matter. Coming from a very conservative suburb (cough, Houston), I can only imagine what a mom on a mission to save her family would be driven to do. Dealing makes perfect sense!
4. Greek
Guilty pleasure. Hear me out: I really miss college and this is the closest I can get... sans hangover. The sorority girls are sexy (I miss my Pi Phi days) and the dudes are clueless, like always. Drama ensues. This show is so up-my-alley, as I adore entertainment marketed to 15-year-old girls. So what if it's on ABC Family?
And which shows am I craving to see this fall? The Office (obviously), Project Runway and Bionic Woman. An update of the '70s classic, Bionic Woman looks bad-ass and engrossing. Oh, and I also have Season One of Heroes in my Netflix queue. My TV time is precious - I'm very much looking forward to becoming more and more antisocial by the minute!
Pardon the expression, but "stay tuned" for more pop posts!
