The episodes had to be edited for time on US television due to the longer runtime allowed by the BBC, however the episodes aired in full,unedited on the Adult Swim website. The show became a part of the network's Brit Block.
  • The Mighty Boosh is a British "cult" comedy about two friends who go on magical adventures. It has appeared as series of stage shows, a BBC radio series and a BBC Three TV series. The Mighty Boosh was created by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding, who star as Howard Moon and Vince Noir respectively. The title comes from a comment Noel heard about his brother's hair by a Portuguese friend "When he was young, he had really curly hair and his little friend when he was five used to say 'You've got a mighty bush!', (but his accent made "bush" sound like "boosh"). I thought it was funny, I just overheard them say that once and thought 'Mighty boosh, that's quite cool.' We didn't want to be Barratt and Fielding, that sounds dreadful." In The Mighty Boosh stage show there was no strict setting, but in the radio series and first television series the action was based around a zoo called Bob Fossil's Funworld ("Where fun, plus world, equals... Worldfun") and later The Zooniverse. Though the episodes would invariably begin and end in the zoo, the action would tend to leave the zoo for more bizarre realms, such as the arctic tundra and limbo. The second series had an even looser setting, based in a flat in Dalston. The third series is set in a shop called the 'Nabootique' a shop that the enigmatic shaman Naboo owns. All series have now aired on SBS Australia, and series one has aired on BBC America, and Danish channel DR 2.
  • The Mighty Boosh centres on the adventures of Howard Moon (Barratt) and Vince Noir (Fielding). These characters are often presented as the creators of The Mighty Boosh themselves.Series 1 opens and often closes with Howard and Vince addressing the audience in front of a theatre curtain, introducing the show and offering some final reflections. Series 2 leaves this format, instead starting in the characters' flat, with no direct address to the audience. Unlike the radio series, which is played as though real, the characters on the TV series all seem aware that they are in a TV show, and Vince especially will often break the fourth wall to address the audience and to comment on the situation. Little attention is paid to continuity;for instance, in the second series the shaman Saboo is shown being killed by the demon Nanatoo, but in series 3 he is alive and well. In the first series episode, 'Bollo', Bollo the gorilla is killed at the end of the episode, before the credits. However, in subsequent episodes, Bollo is also seen alive and well.
