Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
chadthurman You'll probably LOVE it or something else it. The live action with animation is a big plus for me. Also, how the musical numbers, which are more of music videos are popping up all over the place, was a real kick.
Tim Corrigan I don't know how on Earth they did it—though the best minds in UK comedy were assembled on their creative team: Episodes seem to bend time somehow, leaving me feeling like I've been entertained for twice the length of the actual play time. Simply sublime, and superb.
olga1403 I first heard about the Boosh around the 2nd season so I watched a couple of episodes and sort of thought that the show is too over the top to be actually funny, but I bought the 3rd season and became sucked in by the whole world of The Mighty Boosh. The best series on TV FOR SURE! The characters, the music and the look of the show are unique somewhat child-like(in a good way) and fun. Every episode is crazy in its own wonderful way, and the characters are outlandish and the stories behind each episode are unpredictable in an anything goes sense. I can pretty much promise that if you watch it a couple of times you'll find yourself addicted. Though I'm not sure it's the show that can go beyond a certain number of seasons while keeping the cult factor, the first 3 seasons are awesome. Check it out if you haven't already!
dan-is-grate Why is it that so many comedies today are funny because some other trendy media has told them it's funny? The NME (a British magazine devoted to bands like Razorlight and the Kooks and other talentless bands) always has these arseholes on it's cover, and from watching it, I can see that the trendy one was the kind of douche who sat in his university refectory playing his guitar with a bunch of other bottom-feeders sat round him, and actually longs to be a musician, but, being a studenty tosser who is devoid of talent, decided to fall back on his "kooky" sense of humour. He's funny because he's trendy, not because he's funny, like for example, Vic and Bob, who these two are clearly trying to be the "next" of, minus actual humour. The other guy, with the 'tashe, I can assume likes offbeat and left-bank humour, and could possibly have potential if he wasn't in a band-wagon comedy. Someone said that they seem to spend more time trying to look cool than be funny and that is hitting the nail square on the head. But that's what the NME is all about, as long as it fits with their image of "cool", they are funny/a good band. The jokes/songs are secondary to looking cool.
