UPDATE (29/11/2007): Alas, they stopped hosting the embedded video I was linking to. However, if you can still check out Flight of the Conchords - Video.

According to the NZ Herald, HBO has gone ahead with a second season of the Flight of the Conchords show indicating the first season must have gone down well with American audiences. Salon.com said:

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are both hysterical, and while the brilliance of the musical numbers has waned a little since the heady thrills of that first Prince-inspired melody (”Lookin’ ’round the room, I can tell that you are the most beautiful girl in the room — in the whole wide room!”), I loved the ridiculous David Bowie sequence a few weeks ago, in which Bowie appears to Bret and tells him that an eye patch will enhance his look, all the while singing songs that span his evolving musical style, one minute sounding a little bit like “Changes,” the next evoking “Diamond Dogs.”
