> In an encouraging sign for the upcoming second season of HBO's offbeat comedy
> "Flight of the Conchords," the premiere episode has raked in some 250,000
> streams in its first 10 days on FunnyOrDie.
>
> That is in addition to the tens of thousands of views on HBO.com, which also
> showcases the season opener.
>
> Not too bad for a show that drew 950,000 viewers for its first-season finale.
> And way better than the 100,000 views the first season premiere scored on
> MySpace last year.
>
> The promotional streaming of "Concords" on FunnyOrDie marks the first such
> collaboration between the pay cable network and Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's
> comedy Web site after HBO took an ownership stake in the Internet venture in June.
>
> Also getting online sampling alongside "Conchords" is another upcoming HBO
> comedy series, "Eastbound & Down." A trailer for the show, which is exec
> produced by Ferrell and McKay, runs after the "Conchords" episode.
>
> In addition to earning an instant cult status, "Conchords," starring the New
> Zealand music-comedy duo of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, has gotten some
> critical buzz, including landing a spot among the 10 finalists for best comedy
> series Emmy this year.
