#SaveCommunity

I understand this doesn't have anything to do with Flight of the Conchords, but it has to do with one of my other favorite shows on TV right now. NBC has recently put Community on hiatus for a while after the Holiday season, when it will come back is unknown. The show was benched to make way for 30 Rock which is supposed to air sometime next year. This is not good as a hiatus usually brings a future cancellation.

Anyways a bunch of fans, like myself are trying to make sure the show does not get cancelled. Now this doesn't officially mean Community will be cancelled, but it's not a good sign either as a cancellation is more likely to happen. Right now we can fight this and hopefully get Community to stick around for a few more seasons, or for #SixSeasonsAndAMovie.

Here's how you can help, sign the petition here to save Community from being kicked from the mid-season schedule: http://www.save-community.com/ It's almost at 50,000 and would be even better if we could get up to 100,000 or more. You can also tweet these hash tags for support: #SaveCommunity #Sixseasonsandamovie #SaveGreendale #OccupyNBC #OccupyGreendale and more.

You can also contact NBC by letter by writing to: Robert Greenblatt to NBC Universal, 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608. Or you can e-mail them about it and tell them how you feel.

You can also send them felt beards in support of the show, I plan to do that very soon here.

There's also a great tumblr site where you can post your picture in support of the show, check it out here: http://welovecommunity.tumblr.com/

You can also go to the NBC store and purchase Community merchandise, it's one way you can show NBC you care.

One last thing folks, make sure you tweet, or write on your Facebook wall that Community is new tonight on NBC at 8PM EST. Don't forget to miss it, we want to keep Community on the air. You can use any social networking site you want, just get the news out there that we need to save Community. Lets get this show to six seasons and a movie.

Tweet it, sign it, write them, Facebook it, send in a felt beard and or do whatever you can to help.

Bret and The Muppets

It's been quite some time since this blog has been updated, not a whole lot has been going on in the world of Flight of the Conchords. Wish I could keep you all updated about FotC this and that, but I may have to start bringing this blog up as a "My favorite shows" blog. Changes may be made in the coming weeks if I feel up to it.

Anyways Bret McKenzie did a short interview about being the music supervisor for the new Muppets movie. It's only 56 seconds long, so by short I meant really short. Check it out below:

The Flight of the Conchords Collection by Malc Foy

The Flight of the Conchords Collection by Malc Foy is a nice selection of some of the coolest FotC shirts I've seen in quite a while. Check out his storefront here: Malc Foy. 

I might even be purchasing one of these shirts soon. Pretty cool stuff. :) 

There are nine different shirts, all can be customized to your desired color and the size goes up to 2XL.

Bret's in Austenland

It's been a while since I've updated the blog. Bret's birthday was last month and I completely forgot to mention it.

Some news for you all. Bret will be starring in the upcoming movie Austenland which is being produced by Twilight writer Stephenie Meyer and directed by Jershua Hess: co-writer of Napoleon Dynamite and wife to Jared Hess. Shannon Hale, the writer of the book will do the script.

I've never read this book, but they say it's going to be a romantic comedy. Hope it's good! We'll see.

Anyways, you can read more here: Shannon Hale's Site
