Manatee: I think FotC Season 2 is off to a bad start.

Marmot: Really? Why is that?

Manatee: I didn't like the first episode as a season kick off. Plus, there weren't really any catchy tunes, and as much as I LOVE Murray, I wish the first episode wasn't so focused on him. He even had the first song of the new season.

Marmot: I thought his song was hilarious. I have to agree with you, song-wise, the episode was pretty weak. But they did have all of the Season 1 songs for years, and now they've had to write a bunch of new ones over a few months. I thought the episode was pretty funny, though.

Manatee: They had plenty of time to write new songs. There was a strike which delayed most HBO shows. Plus I know for a fact that Bret likes to spend his days lolly gagging around a certain coffee shop in LA. He could have been writing with his partner, instead he was gulping down espressos.

Marmot: He can't write and drink coffee at the same time?

Manatee: Not when Jemaine isn't there!!! Anyhow, I have hopes that it will get better, but I'm just saying, I was disappointed. I was glad to see Mel and Doug make an appearance.

Marmot: I think the music will get better. One major thing I noticed from Season 1 was the increased budget, most noticeably, the move to HD.

Manatee: Yes, I noticed it did appear to have a bigger budget as well. Let's hope that doesn't diminish the charm.
