The Mighty Boosh is total class.Definitely the most creative and original
comedy over the last decade.If you like Little Britain,Mr.Bean then you probably won't like the Boosh.Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

It's lookin' like ya shoulda stuck to Buffy on this one Anx.

i don't like buffy. i've tried a few times to watch it and i just can't tolerate it.

Anx said:

I don't either.

I was however a HUGE fan of the movie.

It's like one of my fave movies ever, but I can't watch the show.

You should totally watch the movie.

Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry, and Toad the Wet Sprocket in the background. OMG.

I betcha a lot of the ppl that like the show, never knew it was a movie first.

I think ya like one or the other.

i can appreciate that it's well written and has cult appeal and whatnot, but i can only deal with so much snark until my teeth start to hurt.

SureThing said:

i liked the movie (i even saw it in the theater... what can i say i am a sucker for paul ruebens) and used to mock people that liked the show. then i started watching the show and hate the movie.

so...

:stake:

Anx said:

well, that's fair. josh whedon's voice is a very snarky one.

:unstake:

cborgman said:

I have never watched the show and never will because I HATE sarah michelle gellar.

SureThing said:

i am pretty apathetic to her in anything other than buffy and cruel intentions.

cborgman said:

see? i think thats why i don't like her.

i loved cruel intentions, but i'm total reese fan. so i liked reese better, even though sarah had the better character.

then buffy. I LOVE kristy, so of course I'm gonna hate sarah as buffy.

so i kinda just can't watch.

SureThing said:

i'm telling ya, you are missing out on one of the best tv shows ever. the first season is lacking, but it suprisingly became one of the most endearing, involving, quirky shows i have ever seen. i have watched it straight through twice, and i am sure in another few years i will do it again.

cborgman said:

I'm taking your word for it, and have decided to give it a chance.

but ONLY because I liked the movie so much.

SureThing said:

okay, first thing to remember - season 1 is not indicative of the other seasons. season 1 is kinda okay, and must be barrelled through. it was a mid-season replacement, so it's a short season, and they weren't really all that sure of what they were doing in the beginning. season 2 is pretty good, but season 3 is when it really picks up.

Is it on dvd at blockbuster or what?

cborgman said:

There is a making of "vicar of dibley" tonight I think? They also finished the show this xmas, with a couple of specials.

Its so inoffensive its hard to hate such a show

Royal family is one of the best of recent years, as is "shameless", which is a comedy drama, and a very black one. If you see it, thats what its like where I live LOL

Life on the estates is more rough then where I grew up in a latin neighbourhood in Chicago. Sure, i was very young then, but its a tough life at times where I live.

orgnote

so no one ever told me... is there really a series 4 of little britain?? i thought there was only 3.

Some of you would love Victoria woods "dinnerladies". It could of pased as a radio show. Very witty and not crude in anyway.

did anyone check out 'brass eye'??

i guess it's just you and me, spooky

Actually, I'll tell you something that's funny and that I only just got into (after my brother gave me the first series on DVD for xmas) - 'Peep Show'.

Has anyone else watched this? It basically follows two guys in their lives, much of the time from a first person perspective. We're privy to their thoughts alongside their speech. It's very good.

Fauxie said:

so wait. is this on dvd? i'll netflix it.

Anx said:

Yep, whole thing's on 1 DVD - all the regular shows and the 2001 special.

SureThing said:

Don't worry. A lot of hardcore Buffy fans hate her too. There's no good to be had in the TwigBitch.

Fauxie said:

netflix doesn't have it.

Anx said:

I think it may even have been banned at one point. It was certainly the most reported programme at the time for its apparently offensive content.

This part of the wikipedia page I posted is the most important for understanding where the programme was coming from, especially the paedophilia special:

The Daily Star printed an article decrying Morris and the show next to a piece about the then 15-year-old singer Charlotte Church's breasts under the headline "She's a big girl now"[4]. The Daily Mail featured pictures of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who were 13 and 11 at the time respectively, in their bikinis next to a headline describing Brass Eye as "Unspeakably Sick".

I just found a sketch from Brass Eye on YouTube that is not from the pedophile special, but some other episode... This is actually the first time I've seen this stuff, because I don't remember this show being shown on Icelandic TV, which is strange because we get most of the British comedy shows here and British comedy is really popular here. But anyway, this sketch is called "Random masturbation".... NSFW! NSFW! http://www.youtube.com/wa...ed&search=
