My overall rating of "Flight of the Conchords"'s Season 1: 5/10
This episode is pretty great overall, although some of the jokes have felt a bit formulaic/old/unimaginative (band being cut short, Mel's "love story", Bret's beer problem being so immediate etc) and the first song absolutely sucked, but the episode really seems to have found its footing as it went on, and while I'd seen that "threesome debate" climax on YouTube when trying to figure out whether I'd like the show, it is excellent, as is the 2nd song, heavy with continuity of this episode.
