I haven't seen anyone mention this yet here so I thought I'd throw this out and see if anyone else was a fan.

The Mighty Boosh, is the collective name for the creators of the British comedy written by and starring comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. Developed from three stage shows and a six episode radio series, it has since spawned a total of twenty television episodes for BBC Three and a live tour of the UK. A recent festival has been held and forthcoming album of their music and another live tour are also planned.

In May 2004, after the success of a Boosh pilot, Steve Coogan's company, Baby Cow Productions, produced the first television series of The Mighty Boosh for BBC Three, before it moved to BBC Two in November that same year. Though each episode invariably starts and ends in Bob Fossil’s dilapidated zoo, the "Zooniverse", the characters of Vince and Howard often depart for other locations, such as the Arctic tundra and limbo.


Noel Fielding (left) and Julian Barratt (right) in the first of their live links for BBC Three's Mighty Boosh Night.A second series was then shown in July 2005, which saw Howard and Vince now sharing a flat in Dalston with previously minor characters Naboo and his familiar, Bollo. This series had an even looser setting as the four characters leave the confines of the flat in every episode, using their van to travel to further surreal environments. Series three started in November 2007, still set in Dalston, but this time has the foursome working in their shop called the Nabootique. Their adventures and outings in the third series were more toned down than the previous two series', and they focused more on the involvement of new characters (e.g. Sammy the Crab, or Lester Corncrake etc) than just the two of them 'journeying through time and space'. A fourth series has been rumoured since the broadcast of the third, though no official confirmation has been released regarding this speculation. It transpires that the fourth series won't be written until at least 2010, because of the duo's other commitments throughout 2009.

It has been confirmed that The Mighty Boosh will be airing in North America on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, starting April 2009.

I used to watch this on BBC America. They only showed the first season, which Cartoon Network apparently will be too. Not available on dvd in the US either!

They should have done a Gervais/Merchant and let it go after two seasons.

I thought the third season was the best, and I'm anxious to see more.

I live within the continent of North America, yes, , but in no way does that make me an American. If you are labeled an "American", then you call the United States of America your home.

Canada is my home, so I'm a Canadian.
