It’s a sad day for fans of peace, love, folk, and for the citizens of New Zealand as Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement along with co-creator James Bobin announced that there will not be a third season of Flight of the Conchords. While the group had remained silent if not unenthusiastic about the possibility of a third season, it looks like they’ve decided to move on. Here’s the official depressing news from their official website:
Bret, Jemaine and James (co-creator/director) said “we’ve noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a 3rd season. We’re very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended. We’d like to thank everyone who helped make the show and also everyone who watched it. While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist.
I imagine this will seriously hurt New Zealand tourism despite their great advertisements as seen on the wall of Murray Hewitt (Rhys Darby). It also hurts the many fans of the show. However, I suppose since the real Bret and Jemaine still exist we can at least hope for more albums from the duo.

Aah Flep!!!!
FOTC is one of my favorite comedy shows, along with Trailer park boys. Both will be sadly missed! Always typical, when a show reaches greatness it sadly ends, possibly because they want to end on a good note? I at least think Conchords would be nicely finished off with either a Xmas special, or a movie.
Perhaps a flashback to them arriving in the USA and meeting Murray & Mel. That would really round it off nicely. Gonna miss the gang, particularly Murrays register call.

I’ll be sad to see the show go, but I’d much rather see them end on a high note instead of running it into the ground.
I’m gonna miss Mel, though. And Murray.

I do love Flight of the Conchords but sometimes I feel like the series is hit or miss. Some episodes are laugh out loud funny, others are polite chuckles, and one or two aren't funny at all. Hopefully in season 2, the humor will be much more consistent. I AM a fan of the show, don't get me wrong, but I think they just need to rethink some of their episodes. I seem to be in the minority about the David Bowie episode, which was one of the least funniest things to ever be on television.
