'Conchords' online buzz takes off


December 28, 2008 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. 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. 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.
