Flight of the Conchords to end after second season
Bad news, Flight of the Conchords fans. It looks like the upcoming season of their HBO show will be the end. The boys, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, have confirmed that they've been having trouble making the second season, struggling with making new music and sitting around with a lot of half-songs, "an album's worth of beginnings of songs." Sure, sure, they deserve to take it easy, especially after bringing us twelve episodes of goodness, but can fans really help but feel brokenhearted? Commence full body-shaking sobbing.Their decision makes sense, and, in a way, I'm glad. Their first season was created with a stock of all the songs they made in their career up to that point; the challenge of coming up with a new season almost completely from scratch must not only be daunting but extremely exhausting. Hopefully they'll bring us another solid season so that we can consider it quitting while they're ahead. Plus, many other amazing series have quit after only two seasons, including the original British version of The Office and Fawlty Towers. They're in good company.
Well, fingers crossed that the pair will continue to make music and go on tour, even after we can't hear their pretty voices on HBO.
