Flight of the Conchords: The Complete Collection in August

It's a Kiwi invasion!

For the first time HBO is releasing both seasons of Flight of the Conchords in one glorious DVD collection on August 24th. Follow the misadventures of Jemaine and Bret as they try to change the American music industry as "New Zealand's 4th most popular folk parody duo".

This musical, comedic and sometimes classically tragic tale of two friends trying to make it big in the city was wildly entertaining even if the show itself was short lived.

Flight of the Conchords: The Complete Collection DVD set comes with hours of extras that are sure to be entertaining, some of which are exclusive to this new release.

Extras Include:

• Flight of the Conchords: One Night Stand; a live 30-Minute special that takes you back to the beginning.
• Flight of the Conchords: On Air; a short documentary featuring Bret and Jemaine at their funniest.
• Dave's Pawn Shop Commercials; a series of fake TV ads with a lot of energy and even more ridiculousness.
• New Zealand Consulate Meetings; Bret, Jemaine and their manager Murray's series of important band meetings.
• Deleted Scenes and Alternate Takes

No word yet on a Flight of the Conchords Blu-ray release, so if you have been waiting on that it may still be awhile.

I was trying to decide on what my favorite moments from the series were, and it really comes down to the musical numbers and this is easily my favorite song to sing along too:
