I’m not going to go too much into what happens in each episode and so forth, as I find that nothing ruins comedy more than an actual essay about it! However, each episode contains brilliant storylines that cover the awkward, slightly bizarre lives of these few characters in New York. With an incompetent manager, called Murray, who also works in the tiny building that is the New Zealand Consulate, and only one disturbing fan, called Mel, each episode focuses on both their attempts to succeed as a band and their own lives. It is based on a band called Flight of The Conchords, which consists of two men from New Zealand (Bret and Jermaine), who have travelled to the USA to make it big.
Okay, so while The Mighty Boosh lies on BBC Three, The Flight of the Conchords was aired about five months ago on BBC Four, as well as being played on HBO (arguably USA’s most respected television channel in terms of quality). And, in my humble opinion, I am giving you something that is absolutely incredible! I am a legend. The only reason I have given this post such a title is because I felt bad leaving you with a rather negative review of the third series of The Mighty Boosh and thought it was only right I give you something else to watch.
Apart from them being both primarily focused on a duo and a use of music within the programmes (much more in ‘TFotC’), they are completely different comedies. It is very important from the outset that you do not think I am drawing any comparisons between the comedy ‘The Mighty Boosh’ and the comedy ‘The Flight of the Conchords’.
