Maybe There is Hope for Post-Sopranos HBO
I found the first episode of HBO's John from Cincinnati completely unwatchable. However, the network's new comedy Flight on the Conchords, which premiere's this Sunday, is utterly hilarious. Bret McKenzie, 31, and Jemaine Clement 33, play struggling folk pop singers from New Zealand who share a cramped apartment in New York and often break out in spontaneous song (yeah, I know, it's a little out there. They even claim Cop Rock as an influence. But trust me, it's fantastic). Here's an interview with them from EW and a clip from the show. You can also check out the entire first episode on HBO.com.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Describe your new HBO series.JEMAINE CLEMENT: There are a lot of difficult situations that lead to awkwardness. We usually have one big awkward scene every show. I wouldn't say it's exactly like The Office or Curb Your Enthusiasm, where it's all awkward, all the way. But there's always some element of that.
BRET MCKENZIE: It's a difficult thing to describe. It's a musical comedy. Something like Curb Your Enthusiasm crossed with The Monkees.
