Still here.
This board seems to be severely lacking in Boosh love. Anyone else a fan? I've been watching for a few years now, and recently got their 'Future Sailors' tour DVD for Christmas, which was very funny indeed.
Oh, YES! We went to England to see them live, actually. I've been watching them since the 2nd series. I'm disgusted with how Adult Swim has edited the shows. They cut out the funniest parts! Americans are going to get a false idea of who they are because of Adult Swim.
The Boosh was really good at first, completely different, but it's not nearly as funny anymore! I think they got a bit lazy and believed their own hype...it kind of became a bit smug in the third series. Having said that, I've met Noel Fielding a few times, and he's a very nice man, so I don't want to be mean.
Maybe part of it is that the first two series include the best songs and skits they had previously created on their radio show (albeit greatly improved), and the third seems to be mostly new material.
That's true actually.
WAIT, you mean I said something that's actually true? How the heck did that happen??
Oh, I personally think the third series is funnier than the first. The second is definitely classic, hard to top.
That's true actually. Noel Fielding was recently supposed to be on tour but it was cancelled, apparently because he had no 'new material', so as you say, the hiatuses are becoming longer and longer, but Julian Barratt I think has been working on other projects during the time when N.F. wasn't really doing much.
I didn't like the 3rd series so much. I thought the two lead characters became cliches/stereotypes (Howard saying 'Sir' way too much) and the affection between them was lost a little bit.
I love The mighty Boosh
favourite episode, season 3.....Journey to the Centre of the Punk
I love that episode! Although I think I prefer 'The Power Of The Crimp'.
