Hella Good TV on DVD
Some of my favorite television shows are on DVD now -- or coming soon.
Flight of the Conchords, Season 1 will come out November 6. If you've been under a rock or something and haven't yet experienced New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody duo, get thee to YouTube. Then buy the DVD of this series, which asks, among other philosophical questions: "Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?"
No word on what extras will be available on the DVD yet -- but I am betting it will be so beautiful it could be a high class prostitute.
The first season of 30 Rock is out this week. This show lives every week like it's shark week and does not believe in one way streets -- not between people, or when driving.
Also, Tina Fey is hot with several t's.
Also out this week - It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Seasons 1 & 2. Buy it because you'd forgotten how funny Danny Devito is. Get hooked because this show is completely out of its mind.
Heroes isn't often intentionally funny -- but, like Lost, it will suck you in. Also like Lost, I find it's better to watch in big chunks (like the complete first season DVD) than dripped out every week, with a break now and then, trying to remember all of the threads from week to week. Watch this over the summer and you'll probably find yourself tuning in for the new season, though...

I love 30 Rock and enjoy Conchords (and am unfamiliar with the other two).
On Conchords, I think the supporting characters -- Mel, Murray, Dave -- are all great. What I perceive as a flaw in the show is that Jermaine and Brett aren't sufficiently deluded about their greatness as a band, a la Spinal Tap or Tenacious D.

I think they make up for it with the delusion that they are great ladies' men.
