Let's hope not, but this might be the end of HBO's spectacular musical comedy which brings us the lyric, "It ain't no good if there's too much wood, you gotta know before you go, the dancefloor bro-ho ratio."

Flight Of The Conchords could be back as a movie, a stage show - or not at all, according to one of the cast.

Rhys Darby, who plays the duo's hapless manager Murray Hewitt, told NME.COM that having wrapped up the second series – which was released on DVD this week (August 3) – that the digi-folk duo are pausing before deciding the show's future.

"I'm open to whatever Bret [McKenzie] and Jermaine [Clement] want, it's their baby and I'm just along for the ride. I know they're going to take a year off, but there's already a bit of pressure already from people saying 'How can you end this thing now?,'" explained Darby.

"There's no decision made. There's been orders for another season but I know the guys have a British mentality where you create something, you finish it and move on."

There's also a British mentality where you eat sausages made of blood. Come on guys, keep on going.

Although President-elect Obama did include gays in his mention of the various groups who supported him, HBO not only blacked out Bishop Gene Robinson's invocation at today's inauguration concert, they didn't introduce the Washington DC Gay Men's Chorus when they performed, nor did they identify them onscreen. I wonder who was behind that.

Via Joe.My.God:

After days of controversy and outrage from the religious right, openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson opened Barack Obama's inauguration concert on the National Mall today with a request that the nation pray for "understanding that our president is a human being and not a messiah."

But only the people AT the concert heard that, because HBO did not televise Robinson's message. Who engineered this blackout of Robinson? I suspect we'll hear lots about this in days to come.

UPDATE: The 7PM rebroadcast of the show was identical, no Gene Robinson.

UPDATE II: The full text of Robinson's prayer is here. If you'd like to express your unhappiness to HBO, you can do that here.

Oh, and Pam Spaulding has more.

  Jeffrey Toobin of CNN and The New Yorker joins Bill via satellite to talk about the conventions, John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin, and her attacks on "the media."
