Come along for an extended journey through time and space with the Mighty Boosh Special Edition DVD, a seven-disc compilation of the surreal UK comedy series' first three seasons, plus a bonus disc of live material and behind-the-scenes footage that's sure to please the show's growing legion of fans. Those who own the double-disc standalone editions of Boosh's first three seasons will find all of that material repeated here in six of the special edition's discs, including all episodes and supplemental features, so for those wishing to get up to speed in a hurry on the adventures of zookeepers Howard Moon and Vince Noir (creators Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding), or complete their collection in one fell swoop, here's the set to do it. It's the seventh disc that makes the special edition a must-have for first-timers and Boosh faithful alike; chief among its many extras is The Mighty Boosh: A Journey Through Time and Space, a lighthearted but comprehensive hour-long documentary about Barrett and Fielding's trajectory from humble standups to certifiable pop culture icons, with plenty of commentary by fellow UK comics like series producer Steve Coogan. Barrett and Fielding are also front and center for an interview at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and as hosts of a Mighty Boosh night on BBC Three from 2008, complete with their live linking segments. There's also a glimpse at a proto-Boosh in sketches from a 1997 unreleased TV pilot called (Un)Natural Acts, which also finds the pair in a zoo setting, albeit without the outlandish props. Deleted scenes, outtakes, and a look at the creation of the berserk Sammy the Crab puppet also await the faithful; the special features have been arranged in an appropriately psychedelic manner on the disc (none are labeled, and many simply lead to visual non sequiturs), with some only available as Easter eggs, so patience is most definitely required. --Paul Gaita

The Boosh will NOT Disappoint!!
I've got all 3 series of The Mighty Boosh and was lucky to have met them in San Diego and in LA recently. Their Live Show is indescribable but the DVD shows don't do the airing of shows currently being shown on Adult Swim (they cut too much out!!). I cannot wait for this special edition set to arrive. Every true Boosh fan should have this in their Boosh Collection! Once the Collection arrives I can loan my Series 1,2 & 3 to turn more friends and family on to the Boosh. Can't wait until they return to the US for a LIVE Tour!! Don't miss getting in on the Boosh Bandwagon. They're sure to be a HUGE hit for years to come in the States. Incredibly funny and entertaining. The Extras, Outtakes and music on the DVDs is EPIC!! Long Live the Boosh!

Not a bumberclat in sight...well, maybe one's hangin' on
I downloaded all three seasons from iTunes, after getting addicted to this show on Adult Swim. The iTunes versions have extra scenes which are even more funny and weird.
From the Crack Fox to the brilliant crimping, this is the most genius show out there at the moment. I love the "homemade" aspect to the sets as well - keeps it as real as howlin' Jimmy Jefferson.
This is a MUST HAVE in your collection if you like to laugh.
BOOSH - please come back LIVE to the US !!

Genius imaginations....
This is comedy for smart people - highly intelligent silliness, is how I would sum it up. I was first introduced to this show when it showed up in my netflix recommendations. I started with season 3, then watched seasons 1 and 2. By the time I was done, I was ready to watch them all over again, so I decided to go ahead and buy the dvds. Both of those are rare events - I can't remember the last time I liked something so much I wanted to watch it again immediately, and as a rule I don't buy dvds (why should I when they're so easy to rent?). What sets this show apart for me is the range of talent of both Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt. Noel was an art student when he and Julian first started performing together, he designs many of the costumes and the look of the show. Julian is a very versatile musician and composes all of the music, in a wide range of styles. This isn't just normal, everyday comedy - both of them have extremely fertile imaginations that takes them out of the humdrum into the fantastical. In one episode they find an amulet, they push the button and end up on another planet, but when it's time to go home it doesn't work - the batteries have gone dead. They make friends with coconuts, spurn advances from transsexual sea creatures, and become possessed by the spirit in a voodoo jazz LP, to name a few examples. The other thing that I love about it is that in general, it is very good-natured. They don't make fun of people or types, or put people in difficult positions. Noel's character, Vince Noir, does like to tease Howard Moon (Julian Barratt), but he often does it with a smile, you can feel the depth of the bond between the two of them (which is expressed more directly in various episodes - especially The Party, season 3). It is without reserve the best entertainment I have come across in years. I really hope they release the live dvd over here, and maybe even come back for a tour???
