After Jemaine's Australian girlfriend practically ruined his life last week on Flight of the Conchords, Bret (Bret McKenzie) and Jemaine (Jemaine Clement) continue their love misadventures in the episode “Love is a Weapon of Choice.”

Last week, Flight of the Conchords returned for its sophomore season which saw Murray getting fired by Bret (Bret McKenzie) and Jemaine (Jemaine Clement) for spending all of his time managing the Crazy Dogggz.  The New Zealand folk duo, on the other hand, was hired to make an advertisement for women's toothpaste but their success was short-lived as it was discovered that they are illegal immigrants in America.  Moreover, Murray's (Rhys Darby) fortune was reversed after learning that the Crazy Dogggz's big hit is a rip-off of a 1990s Polish song.

Tonight, Flight of the Conchords returns to our small screens once again with an all-new episode. This time, it's called “New Cup,” and it centers on what happens after Bret buys a new tea cup. Apparently, Bret and Jemaine's fortunes unravel.  And with the emergency band funds unavailable, Jemaine goes to desperate measures to increase his income.

Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie are back for a second season of their special brand of musical sitcom.  After months and months of waiting, Flight of the Conchords returns with “A Good Opportunity,” which picks up directly where the last season left off.

Last time we saw the New Zealand folk duo, they were left in a troublesome position – grooving to an angry dance after losing their band manager Murray (Rhys Darby) and one and only fan Mel (Kristen Schaal) to rival band the Crazy Dogggz.  Naturally, something had to be done to restore order to the band.

We have approximately four weeks before Flight of the Conchords invades our small screens with fresh quirky episodes (unless you've already seen the first episode of the second season on FunnyOrDie.com) and I thought it would be fitting to revisit some of the most hilarious storylines from season 1 that made Bret and Jemaine an irresistible comic concoction.

Created by cast members Jemaine Clemaine and Bret McClegnie, as well as James Bobin, Flight of the Conchords is a pleasing mix of deadpan wit, picturesque songs, and silly music videos written into the storylines.  Jemaine and Bret take the center stage as guys from New Zealand trying to make it as a digi-folk band in New York City.  The program's humor is mostly focused on trivial matters, but it also pokes fun at serious topics from time to time with its inimitable approach.  And while most of the plots don't really count as groundbreaking comedy, the witty music videos make this half-hour series worth watching.

The second season of Flight of the Conchords doesn't premiere until January 18, 2009, but fans who are capable of using the internet can get a sneak peek come next week.  Flight of the Conchords, the HBO comedy series, became an underground and critically acclaimed hit in its first season.  Starring New Zealanders Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement as struggling musicians in New York City, Flight of the Conchords is a rare musical comedy, with Bret and Jermaine breaking into song multiple times per episode.  Fans looking forward to the new season will be able to watch the first episode of season 2 on FunnyorDie.com starting December 17.

The 2008 Grammy nominations were announced earlier today, and there are some names among the nominees who TV fans will likely be familiar.  The 51st edition of the Grammys will take place on Sunday, February 9 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.  The program will air on CBS.  Though the Grammys have recently been criticized for not embracing more modern music in its prestigious categories, this year's nominees belie a transition into more modern fare.  For instance, hip hop artist Lil' Wayne received the most nominations this year with eight.  For TV fans, The Jonas Brothers (Camp Rock) were nominated in the Best New Artist category, Stephen Colbert (The Colbert Report) was nominated for Best Spoken Word Album, and Flight of the Conchords were nominated for Best Comedy Album with their self-titled debut.
