here it is:



Sorry Will, it says "US only" so yer Korean IP address may block the video. Just another reason to get back stateside as soon as possible!

Reaction: Pretty good. Not Great. I built it up a lot in my mind, so maybe I set myself up for disappointment. They pick up where Season One left off: Maury is managing Crazy Doggz and the Conchords fire him because he isn't paying any attention to them. Is this the start of a new story arc? Not really. By the end, everything is status quo ante and we're back to the old formula, which is what we really want anyways. The banter and story are right on. The scene when they conduct their own band meeting (and keep the role call) and go over their "merchandise" is priceless. What seems like a glaring hole here is the lack of a great new song- there's nothing like "Beautiful Girl" that got Season One started. Which may mean exactly what Bret and Jermaine have said: Season One used up most of their stand-up songs, so now they have to write on the fly for the show. Let's hope they're just getting warmed up. They've said that Season Two is it for the series, so if this is all we're going to get, let's hope they've got some killer new songs up their sleeves.
