ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Shep From their garage, to the Comedy Clubs to HBO, this series (produced by David Cross "Mr. Show") helped add fuel to an underground following for Tenacious D that would lead to their debut Album in 2001 "Tenacious D" and their sold out shows across the US and England. Each of the 6 episodes that aired on HBO start out with Jack and Kyle heading out to open mic night with guitars in hand. Starting out with an opening tune that usually meshed their clever comedic talents with beautiful harmonies and acoustic guitar, this would set up a Pulp style storyline that led to yet another open mic night and another great tune. This series is a modern Spinal Tap for the Garage Musician. I would like to see HBO offer the episodes on DVD so everyone can enjoy this classic. SM

kungfuonion Tenacious D recently has achieved a mainstream following through it's latest single 'Tribute' (receiving high rotations on MTV, and international stations such as Channel [V] in Australia), but what the everyday casual listener may not realise is the fact that the roots of Tenacious D were firmly planted long before the song graced international shores.After some digging, I happened to come across a collection of episodes. Even though the CD was my introduction to the band, all fans need to see the shows to even grasp the genius the is 'the D'.Of course, the show isn't just for fans. The series is a comedic delight in it's own right, outlining the very real struggle of an unsigned act, trying to make it big in the music industry and the struggles that come with it. New fans of the D who have heard the music will defiantly get a kick out of seeing the back stories behind some of the songs such as 'Lee' and 'Tribute'.Jack Black and Kyle Gass are a great team, music wise and acting, perhaps because of the fact that they are playing themselves, and the elements of the Tenacious D story are autobiographical in nature.Of course, Tenacious D aren't for every. Those who do not appreciate the comic stylings of the almighty Jack Black will probably not enjoy the show or the music. With that said, almost everyone with a sense of humour should be able to get a kick out of 'the D' in some way, whether through their music or acting.The series is a must-see if not only for musicians, but also comedy lovers as well, and of course, new fans of the D.

dootuss This was a pretty cool, and funny show that used to air on HBO which starred the band "Tenacious D" which is a two guy band consisted of Jack Black (also a great actor), and Kyle Gass. This show also had some of their songs on it too. Thanks to the creators of "Mr.Show" for bringing the "D" to the tube. 10/10.

kevmaster2000 Tenacious D, the self-proclaimed "Greatest Band on Earth" (which is not far from the truth!), got their start with this TV show. There are only six episodes, each one of them is hilarious. Jack Black (lead vocals and rhythm guitar) is well-known for his comic roles in "High Fidelity" and "Saving Silverman," but in neither of those movies did he really get to let his talent shine as he did in these episodes. He has got a great voice and is a decent guitar player. Kyle Gass (lead guitar and background vocals) is a funny man. He does not have nearly as many starring roles as Black, but he is an awesome guitarist and a great singer. The episodes are very funny and the music is superb. Watch HBO Comedy for a chance to see the episodes, which are rarely shown. And also be on the lookout for Tenacious D's first full length album in summer 2001 and a movie sometime in the future!
