But first the comedic/folksy/funky/sugalumpy duo needs a story, says Bret McKenzie (the non-bespectacled half). You don't have much going on these days—maybe you should write one for them. Just don't make the jokes "too Wellington." [Image: Getty]

After a rousing week at theater camp, Lisa finds inspiration from her counselors—played by the Flight of the Conchords' Bret and Jemaine—and runs away to live the life of an artist in Springfield's very own version of Brooklyn.
Fifty percent of the Fight of the Conchords appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show last night and Jemaine Clement talked about how the duo is treated in their home country. Apparently, they're known as "those guys" that are famous in America.

The new season of weirdo comedy series Flight of the Conchords, about two singing and bumbling boys from New Zealand, is coming back soon. The first episode is already online! And it is very funny.
With seemingly so little left to live for (or is that just us?), the second season of Flight of the Conchords, and all the "Foux de Fafa" frivolity that implies, seems like it can't arrive quickly enough. But wait! Put down that kebab skewer pressed to your temple! You needn't wait until the January 18th premiere to…

Every TV nut (well, isn't that all of us here?) has, at one point or another, spent a little time fantasizing about certain fictional characters on their favorite shows. These fantasies tend to be either soft-focus daydreams (say, dreaming up elaborate schemes in which they "bump" into you at a party) or something a…
