1 Sally
6/17/07
Transplanted New Zealanders Bret and Jemaine--a.k.a. Flight of the Conchords--search for romance and gigs in New York City. At a bohemian party, Jemaine falls for Sally (who used to date Bret), but Bret spoils the moment back at their apartment.
2 Bret Gives up the Dream
6/24/07
Desperate for cash, Bret and Jemaine decide to get jobs. Only Bret is successful--he gets a job holding up signs. When Murray books them a show, Bret can't get off work, so Jemaine is forced to play with a replacement: a recording of Bret.
3 Mugged

Bret loses Jemaine's trust by abandoning him to a 'gang' of two, and fears the worst when Jemaine doesn't come home.
4 Yoko

Murray is perturbed when Bret cancels a band tour to be with his girlfriend Coco. Jemaine's dismay, coupled with the betrayal felt by lone fan Mel (who has a crush on Bret), threatens the band's future.
5 Sally Returns
7/15/07
A lonely Jemaine runs into Sally, who dumped him (and Bret) earlier in the year. Envisioning a new life with Sally, Jemaine's dreams take a detour when he learns she won't spend time with him until he gets his own place.
6 Bowie
7/22/07
Upset when Murray says he's too small during a photo shoot, Bret decides that Jemaine can help him get over his funk. That night, a 1972-era David Bowie advises Bret to wear an eye patch. The plan backfires when Bret has depth-perception problems.
7 Drive By
7/29/07
Dissed by a rude fruit vendor, Bret and Jemaine concoct an animated music video in retaliation. But as slights against the boys continue, Bret and Jemaine find themselves in the middle of a race war with anti-Kiwi mutha 'uckas.
8 Girlfriends

Bret and Jemaine pick up two women at a croissant shop--but end up with very different dating experiences. Meanwhile, Murray makes an album deal for the band.
9 What Goes on Tour
8/12/07
Using the band's 'emergency fund,' Murray organizes a warm-up tour before a big gig in Central Park. At a bar, the boys get hooked by some 'mermaids' from a women's water-polo team--nearly ruining the tour and their relationship with Murray.
10 New Fans

The Conchords triple their fan base after playing a local world music jam, but Mel is suspicious of the two new fans' motives.
11 The Actor
8/26/07
Bret and Jemaine enlist a semi-pro actor to cheer up Murray after a disappointing gig. Asked to place a good-hearted rejection call, the actor gets carried away, offering Murray and the Conchords a recording deal that's too good to be true.
12 The Third Conchord
9/2/07
Season One Finale. Murray foists a new bongo-playing band member on Bret and Jemaine, triggering angry dances and mutant half-bands.

awesome, original, charming, funny, self aware, and definitely worth watching and watching again. if u like sort of deadpan (in a good way), sort of corny (in a good way), humble kind of humor, then definitely do yourself a favor and give this show a watch.

This is subtle, well timed humor. Not everyone likes this show, but I personally think they lack a sense of humor.

If the words "dry" and "silly" describe your sense of humor, this show is for you.
