The Mighty Boosh : Complete BBC Series 3 [2007] [DVD]

Yes, sadly, this is the FINAL season of the Boosh. That surreal British comedy import that Americans love so much. If you haven't seen the show before, I suggest tuning into Cartoon Network's 'Adult Swim' program and trying to catch it there if you're trepidacious about the product (or check YouTube). I personally think it's genius! I must say I'm a big Monty Python and Young Ones fan, so if those are your cup of tea (pardon the pun), BOOSH is for you! Another touchstone might be Flight Of The Conchords, since The Boosh use several musical bits in each show (which are likely to wedge in your unconscious like a golden splinter). The third season has some of the best episodes (IMHO), though that's a mighty hard call. This season takes place in a second hand shop called the Nabootique, where their encounter with the urban Crack Fox (yes, that kind of crack and that kind of fox) is deliriously absurd! Another meeting with The Hitcher (a Cockney psychopath) goes as far into nightmare territory as you're likely to willingly follow The BOOSH, and the Spirit Of Jazz manifests through Vince in the most hilarious way (he's allergic to Jazz y'know) and may surpass The Hitcher for most terrifying character. My top personal top episodes are: Tundra & Ape Of Death (from Season One), The New Sound & Old Gregg (from Season Two), Crack Fox & Spirit Of Jazz (from Season Three). If you have the other seasons, it's a no-brainer to finish the meal with number three. If you own none, I'd suggest picking them up in order, as this world makes a bit more sense when viewed chronologically; at least giving you SOME kind of footing to gauge the antics from. And by the way...I'm nominating this show for most satisfying final episode on TV, as they opted for a feelgood vibe that will have these characters forever bouncing through the universe of your mind in the most pleasant way. Screw the final shock episodes of the 90s...this is how you do it.

My son really enjoys the mighty boosh

Arrived in one piece. Season 1 and 3 arrived next day, as expected, season two is expected to arrive today (day two). Ordered all 3 seasons for a dual gift for my bf and I. He introduced me to this show when we first started using Prime, and they had it available to watch for free. When it was no longer available, I missed it so bad! Now we can watch it whenever we want. Definitely my best investment this holiday season. Made us both happy.

I love the Mighty Boosh! But the 3rd season was a let-down. In interviews, Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt said they decided to take the characters Vince and Howard to their extremes, but this was a mistake, because they have lost most of their charm and their spirit of camaraderie. Vince is ready to throw Howard over at any opportunity; they seem to be sick of each other. Production-wise, there's a sense of things being rushed and sloppy. For example, the recurring villain the Hitcher reappears, but they didn't bother with his prosthetic nose and chin this time, and just slathered on the green make-up. I actually thought the joke would end up being that it was Vince pretending to be the Hitcher! Also, the episode the "The Power of the Crimp" gets a little meta, with Vince and Howard in a tizzy over imitators who are referred to as "The Flighty Zeus" - a probable poke at The Flight of the Conchords, who took the sitcom w/ pop music idea and ran with it. And with only 6 episodes, you have to wonder if they were struggling with a bit of creative drought.BUT: the "worst" of the Boosh is still better than 99% of available entertainment!!!!So - the verdict is - if you're not familiar with the Boosh, watch season 1 & 2 first, then this one. If you start with Season 3, you'll be scratching your head as to what all the fuss is about.

I love the Mighty Boosh. Even though "The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox" is one of my least favorite episodes, the other five are comedy gold. The main four (Howard, Vince, Naboo and Bollo) are still having wonderfully hilarious adventures and the Board of Shaman are probably some of my favorite secondary characters ever.

Surrealist Adult Fairy Tales that make you laugh your butt off .... add a dash of Bowie and a bit of new wave, generous amounts of wit and word play, splashes of inspired silliness and you have something truly, truly unique. The Mighty Boosh only did three seasons and have been flirting with a feature-length film for sometime, but their contribution to my arsenal of inside jokes approaches "Knights who say Ni" proportions. Any fan of IT Crowd, Monty Python, or Look Around You will benefit from having taken this journey through time and space.

I would have given a 5 but it was a short season and the 1st episode was just too nasty & pretty stupidElsewise, love The Mighty Boosh series

Not as strong as season 2 but great nonetheless. Highly recommend!

now don't get me wrong I love series 1 and 2 they are fantastic strange and unpredictable with each week giving a new and thrilling story but when it comes to series 3 the flame has gone most of the episodes are completely unoriginal and on top of that some of them are just boring the highlight is the strange tale of the crack fox the only interesting episode.it really is a shame this and the two love shows don't hold a candle to what the first two accomplished with episodes like hitcher and the legend of old Gregg. I hope for this shows legacy it stays dead. same with fielding's luxury comedy a fantastic shown that would be ruined if he did another series.

Every mighty boosh fan needs to have this dvd in the collection!

The media could not be loaded.  Someone's copying me.

Wasn't sure how I'd feel about series 3 after reading such mixed reviews. And I have to be honest, in my opinion it doesn't quite live up to series 1 & 2. BUT it definitely grows on you!! Originally I didn't particularly like Eels, but after watching it a few times, it has me giggling all the way through! A lot of the banter which we know and love Fielding and Barratt for is there and it's funny stuff. I still don't love The Chokes or Crack Fox (sooo creepy!) but the magic Boosh ingredients are still there. I disagree with the claims that Julian Barratt is being pushed out of the spotlight. I think he knew exactly what he was doing in this series and I loved Howard's character more than ever. I think that Howard and Vince's friendship is really highlighted in series 3. Especially in The Power of the Crimp, where they have to totally rely on each other if they're to get one up on The Flighty Zeus. That was my favourite episode - the squint off had me in stitches!There were fewer stick-in-your-head songs in this series, that said, the Crimp Song (crimpety crimpety now now...) and It's What's Inside That Counts, keep coming back to me!Not the best series but still good, and still funny. The extras are also excellent, though the commentaries are rather lacking.

If you loved the Boosh serious 1 and 2, you will love 3! Now set in Naboos second hand shop the 'nabootique' where Howard and Vince work. Every episode contains a wackey adventure, and some of our old fave characters such as the soul of Jazz and the cockney hitchhiker, and new characters who I will let you discover for yourself! This serious left me wanting more, come on Noel and Julian, get your arses into gear and give the public what they want, a serious 4!!
