I'm late to the game & I'm upset I wasn't aware of it when it was current. Late 40's American here, whose brother suggested the show & my wife knew of Noel Fielding from the "British Baking Show."
Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding have great chemistry, the classic straight man & eccentric guy bit mixed with oddball characters that you grow to love. Rich Fulcher brings an over the top, American brand of comedy and Richard Ayoade as one of the shamans kills it. Shamans and gorillas are mainstays and various reoccurring characters bring out Barratt's sense of humor and Fielding's art school creativity.
In my opinion, the show improves as it goes on as the creative team really finds their groove towards the end of the first season. Part of the fun of "The Mighty Boosh" is all of the stuff you miss when you first see an episode which leads to watching it over and over. I highly suggest Season 3, episode 3's "The Power of the Crimp;" hysterical. If you liked punk growing up and were aware of British music & pop culture from the 80s & 90s, you'll love this show. It's a great blend of British and American senses of humor. Highly recommended.
score 9/10
