    Quirky -- definitely. Funny -- rarely. The characters' deadpan delivery could be very effective iif their words contained anything ironic, or witty, or even simply shocking -- but mostly they are just staggeringly dull. The concept -- a day in the life of two marginal and utterly clueless musicians -- showed promise but so long as the writing and acting remains as weak as in the first episode (mostly the writing -- given the premise, the weak acting cuuld work well with the right script), it seems pretty pointless.… Expand

    Not very funny at all. It was like trying to quench one's thirst, by drinking a bucket of sand. Maybe, if I were a Kiwi, Aussie, or Brit, it might be funny.

    Boring!! A cloying, annoying self-consciously quirky show.

    The charms of this series are subtle, but only grow over the course of the first few episodes.

    You should be there on Sunday night to see the premiere of something new and hilarious, and completely different.

    "Flight" is pretty much a snooze until the music starts, at which point the show kicks up into something quite weird and occasionally wonderful.
