One of the worst shows I've ever seen

So I was hanging out with my friend not too long ago and he mentions to me a new "favorite" show of his. Usually when he mentions something like this, it's always a setup for us to watch it. So he went out and bought the first season of a show called "The Mighty Boosh".

Now I'm all for nonsensical comedy, but a lot of what I saw was just absolutely stupid. There were about 3 laughs before I got incredibly bored with what was going on, and much to my chagrin, he kept insisting there were better episodes, so we ended up watching 3 episodes.

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, it's a Brittish comedy troupe who basically do outlandish things and are completely and ridiculously over the top. Sound familiar? But unlike those "other" guys, Boosh falls flat very quickly and never recovers, it's basically the equivelant of watching a couple of guys do improv in a high school auditorium. And yes, I like Python...but I hate this crap.

Any other haters? Fans?

That show is great. I love the atmosphere it creates with the oldschool sci-fi type props and costumes. Really funny stuff. I think they are a great duo. I get the feeling that the banter between the two main characters is really natural, like watching two old buddies rag on each other. Aside from the fantasy type setting however, I really don't see how it's nonsensical. Maybe a little silly though.


Dances with Wolves 2 is gonna ROCK!

It's cool if you like the show and all, from what I saw it just seemed to just throw things against the wall in the hopes of being funny, I watched the episode where the main character fought a kangaroo, one where the other guy is in love with a panda and the third I can't really remember much since I was literally falling asleep.

It was all season 1, I don't know if it gets better. I don't know if I'd give it another shot though, it really made me think I could write comedy, since it was so bad.

I didn't care for it either, I thought it was pretty lame actually.

I watched it sober and groaned. I watched it drunk and groaned louder. This show blows.
