December 10th
Bret, Jemaine and James (co-creator/director) said “we’ve noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a 3rd season. We’re very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended. We’d like to thank everyone who helped make the show and also everyone who watched it. While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist.
THIS SHOW IS DEFINITELY THE BEST … ALL TIME. FORGET ABOUT FRIENDS AND 30 ROCK, FOTC IS THE FUNNIEST, MOST CREATIVE AND MOST ORIGINAL SHOW THAT EVER AIRED IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION EVER. THEY’RE SO GOOD, I’ M RAMBLING PRAISES FOR THEM. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME SHOW. BRET AND JEMAINE, I WISH YOU GUYS ALL THE BEST AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS PERFORM LIVE IN ASIA SOMEDAY.
Can I move to New Zealand? Do you need a gardener? Seriously. Will they kick me out of New Zealand and back to the United States? I want to see all the endemic animals and conifers. I love New Zealand hip hop.
I am sooooo sad. I must have more!!!!!!
Abolutely can see why they did it.
Think Fawlty Towers…think The Office(uk version of course)
Quit while you are ahead and the show will maintain maximum cult status forever.
Wise…very wise
Coolness! I *HATED* this stupid show! …liked it better when it was called “Tenacious D” (you know, before the Conchords efftards hijacked the concept).
Good luck, Conchords! I hear Cinnebons is hiring!
Revengeofthedee,
In the history of wrong there have been many overachievers, but you have made them all look like amateurs on open-mike night. The Conchords are the gold medal standard for sit-folk-com, and Tenacious D are a one-gag concept that has gone on for too long. Could it be that you are threatened by the animal magnetism of New Zealand’s third Most Popular Folk Parody Duo? The Conchords don’t do tributes. They do the real thing.
Long Live the Conchords!
Dirk, I will say you must be on crack, The Conchords as well as Tenacious D are both unique and original, with duo partners that go together better than most in history. for example the previously used duo of simon and garfunkel. they are both amazing bands with originality flowing from their instruments.
4th most popular.
like tenacious D was the first comedy music duo.

Why?
I was seriously looking forward to the next season…I’m from Europe (a hungarian), my best friend is an Aussie( a Queenslander)…you guys got the best audience…
For me, you guys are the must have.
Hello there. Me too
What a coincidence, hungarians everywhere. 
Guys you seriously should reconsider this thing. It was one of the best tv shows ever.
I just discovered you guys, What’s next? Your show is one of my favorite….. ever, no kidding!
Not one season too soon!
What am I supposed to do with my time now? I’m so sad, this is the worst thing ever! It was like the best show ever, seriously! I was in love with Jemaine too.
Guess the well of creativity ran dry. Too bad. I liked your show.
Things to do instead of being unhappy:
1. Visit the cheap zoo
2. Steal a cushion from the library
3. Wear an eyepatch
4. Think about the pepileptic dogs
5. Return the cushion
6. Lose depth perception-stop wearing eyepatch
7. Do the Robot-and the Robo-boogie
8. Play with this Sims 3 Bret and Jemaine instead
http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=1691459
9. Band Meeting
10. Become an expert icing cookies so you can make the little glasses and the little beard
11. Have a singsong in a bowling alley with someone who is your friend/not your friend.
Remember, sometimes the taste of love is likened to milk of a cow who has done nothing wrong

Good move. The second series was less stark and eclectic. The first benefited by being a bunch of songs glued together by some vague plot. Jermaine and the other one interact awkwardly and so should the scenes.
The Young Ones was fresh, disjoint and anarchic for two whole series and stopped on a high. FotC should follow suit.
More power to you. Concentrate on the amusing and clever songs you do. They’re good enough for radio!

Thanks for 2 amazing seasons! Kudos to you 3 plus everybody else who believed the show was something worth making well, and not just WELL, but EXTRAORDINARY! Without doubt, this is my favorite show of all time and I look forward to anything else you guys want to offer to us fans. Also, a question: if you guys decide to put out a special edition of the 2 seasons one day (soon, I hope
can you add bloopers, interviews, and other good stuff from S1 and even more from S2? Also, it’d be great if you could include the teasers and Mel vlogs and any other random tape that might be lying around. I’d offer to edit the stuff – for free – if you need extra hands/cheap labour. LOL. Sorry to be needy but you can bet a “Definitive Collection” of this show would sell out like hotcakes…Thanks for all you do. You guys are the best!!!
It’s been real. My heart sank a little (No, a lot) when I heard this news and was actually disbelieving at first. I’m so thankful I got to see you guys in Atlanta earlier this year.
You guys have provided my friends and I with countless laughs and tears, from all the laughing. Ah. I’ll miss it so very much.
This is terrible news. You should consider taking more time to make a new season. We can wait an extra year.
All I need is another album. Please tell me you will make more.

Too bad. Funniest show on television.
oh noes! i will miss those sexy accents and awkward cuteness. in addition to more albums, maybe the boys can narrate audio books as well? reference books about penguins? or erotica with lots of ’six’.
has anybody thought to ask, ‘how is mel taking this?’

HAH somebody mentioned faulty towers…
Hey do you guys need a manservant? I play guitar and I’ll totally cook and clean for ya if I can come hang out in Kiwiland… I’ve heard there’s an awesome ‘busking’ scene there… I used to busk a lot in the U.S. its a lot of fun…
I’ll same sex marry you for the dual citizenship if you same sex marry me for the dual citizenship
We could make you guys real live U.S. citizens and we can all like make a shitload of money in LA then take it back to NZ >:^)
Are you guys gonna be making any U.S. appearances, like summer festival circuit maybe? I never got a chance to catch you live, cause when I was at the same events as you I didn’t know what the act was! I could kick myself!
man now that its hittin me, I’m real sad… I play in bands in the states and we’ve all gotten together to watch FotC for years now! You guys realize that you like started a whole genre before you there were MAYBE a handful of comedy bands, now I see them constantly…
You guys rock, friend me up on facebook ( Robbie Skye ) or myspace ( aceinthewhole ) if you want… I’m a U.S. recording artist…
Say it isn’t so!! I have been a (Mel-like) fan since your HBO concert. I have been converting disbelievers ever since. Please at least do a SITC & make a movie. That should bring you a new generation of fans. Love you guys!
Amen Dirk!
Conchords Forever!! (mind the irony)

Oh no!
Well, i suppose you do right; quit while you’re ahead, and all, but it’s all over before it began, for me, being an admittedly recent fan.
Are you sure you’ll never even come back for a Christmas special sometime in the future!??
:’(
Well, at least there’s a UK tour to look forward to!
x
And if you need someone to water the flowers to feed your sheep, I´ll move to New Zealand because I have rivers in my eyes.
Yes, I´m crying!
You need to bring it back! Very funny.
Nooooooooooo. You guys are so awesome. I watch reruns from the first 2 seasons all the time. Hopefully we will see more of you guys in the future.
Goodbye to the leggy blonde and to the next season – but you have left us with wonderful shows and songs. You guys try to arrange a tour stop or two in St. Louis, Missouri, OK?
You are well-loved.
I just discovered this gem and now it has been snatched from under me.
The HBO program is the funniest thing on television and a terrific vehicle for your music and comedy.
Please reconsider continuing the series in the same or some modified form.
I’ve got hurt feelings.

come on, guys! im thinking, maybe you could do what you normally do (tours and stuff) for a year, possibly 2, so you have enough time to write original songs, then come back to HBO with those songs and do a 3rd season. Besides, I love when you guys break into a song in the show that has nothing do do with what was going on earlier! (bowies in space, any1?)
Although i know where you guys are coming from with the end it while you are still a legend but YOU CANT!!! you guys are two who not only make amazingly funny music but your show has meaning and teaches people. I saw you guys in santa barbara california when you guys were touring and i must say it was the best concert I’ve been to ever. Don’t listen to any of those people who said last season wasn’t funny, it was better then the first just in different ways. think about all those TV shows that have like five or six seasons, you guys at least have to make one more. like David Bowie always said…
“legends dont die unless they fade away.”
so you guys cant end your journey here. you guys cant let yourself fade.
Im in a band and i know how hard it is to write music so don’t worry how long it takes you to write your next season it will only make people more excited. I respect your choice if you don’t want to make another season but please listen to me and every other fan and consider another season.
that’s a real bummer…I loved your show–not too many shows leave me crying from laughing so hard. I hope you guys will seek out some other sources of funding and reconsider giving a third season a go.
in any event, all the best. too many dicks on the dance floor.

So sad that you quit your show. It was better than Seinfeld. I was am so mad it was canceled. It is just like when Star Trek of Family Guy got canceled, except you both wanted to end it. too bad. I miss your show. Sorry to hear that the characters no longer exist but am happy that the two comic geniuses continue to exist. I am going to buy the DVDs and I look forward to a movie or special or a tour.
