10:00 The Evidence
11:00 Flight Of The Conchords
The Evidence. Episode 8. Another great episode from one of the best cop shows of the past decade. The opening minutes of the story show us the murder of a DJ, who seems to be a decent guy. As Bishop and Cole investigate the crime, the clues indicate that he may have been dealing drugs. But none of that matches with what we saw in the opening minutes. It's a genuine mystery, and as the story unfolds it's gets harder and harder to understand. The ending, however, is really clever. What a show: Great stories, two great leads, and San Francisco has never looked more beautiful on film.
Flight Of The Conchords. Episode 6. My favourite episode so far. With Coco and Sally out of the picture, the boys are single again and we get a completely self-contained episode. The band gets a shot at making some serious money, but Bret is having some body image issues (Murray, the manager, remarks that he's too small). There are several truly hilarious sequences. My favourite is the band meeting to discuss a new photo for band promotion where they discuss the pros and cons of using a photo that doesn't actually include the band but is still a nice photo of people having fun at a party. Murray has mistakenly circled two people in the photo because he thought they were, in fact, Bret and Jemaine. While not as good as last week's Business Time, the show has a great musical number called Bret, You Got It Going On. And a fake David Bowie appears several times (walking on the walls in one dream sequence).
