"The Mighty Boosh" is very entertaining and Britishly funny.It's different, but that's what makes it so on the edge.
on first veiwing, this follow up to the first series didnt appear to be as enchanting or seductive. however, fortunately its definately "a grower". Its somewhat of a departure from series one, the zoo setting has been replaced by an apartment, and so defining characters such as bob fossil and dickson bainbridge no longer feature, however, do appear as other characters from time to time. along with this new environment there is less pre-adventure banter, over a cup of tea, between howard and vince, which i think could have grown a little tiresome if maintained through series'. The songs are wonderfully catchy and eclectic throughout. the new characters are brilliant, from unlucky in love disturbing ones like 'old gregg', who boasts a "man-gina", to the outrageous mexican womanising hippie rocker known as 'spider'. They're absurdity only matched by they're witticism and hilarity. I love this programme, love this new direction, and cant wait to see what whimsically witty material the third will bestow, but will undoubtedly captivate the ever-growing fan base of the boosh.

The Mighty Boosh are the most progressive comedy act of this decade. If you like strong plots, an understandable format and stand-up style jokes, you'll hate this. It is crazy, mad fun from start to finish. The more random Vince and Howard are the more fun is had by all.
Still fantastic though! It's difficult to imagine how this could top the first series of the Mighty Boosh. I liked the constraints of Vince & Howard working at the zoo, I liked the fact that Bob Fossil was in every episode, Bob (Rob Fulcher) is featured quite a bit during series 2 but in different character roles. Ideas seem to be stretched further and thinner in this series - but, hey - it sounds as if I'm complaining, the Mighty Boosh still rule as far as I'm concerned. Worth getting for the 'Milky Joe' episode alone.
This follow-up series, written by Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding, although based on the same central characters sees Howard and Vince living in a flat belonging to Naboo the Enigma, (ex Zooniverse kiosk attendant/Shaman played by Noel's little brother, Mike) and his familiar, Bollo, an elderly gorilla (ex Zooniverse exhibit, played by Dave Brown). Six episodes, and the original pilot, Tundra are packed in with as much good bonus material as Series 1, along with the short film 'Sweet' which has gained cult status of late. Series 3 should be on screens very soon, and I'm eagerly awaiting a third Boosh series to review. Hope it's as good as the first two! I'd also recommend The Mighty Boosh Live, which would probably be better for a more broadminded, adult audience!
