Amazon.co.uk Review
Is there anything on television quite like The Mighty Boosh? Bluntly, who cares, for the ongoing adventures and antics of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt remain a comedic treat, even if season three does have its up and down moments.

Let's temper that, quickly: The Mighty Boosh on one of its lesser days can still generate more laughs than 90% of other modern-day comedy series, and that's certainly the case with the six episodes here. Lead characters Howard and Vince are found working in the Nabootique this time, and it's not long before they're joined by some old favourites. Cue Bob Fossil, the sublime Shamen, and the Moon, among others.

If there's one downside to The Mighty Boosh's third season, it is perhaps a little too much self-indulgence, which occasionally tempers things. But then that's set against some brilliantly ambitious episodes, some of the finest surrealist humour on the telly, and the terrific Crack Fox.

There's little denying that as a show, The Mighty Boosh can easily be classed as bizarre, bonkers, and straight-out odd. But here, that's turned into the show's strength. And given the side-splitting laughs it continues to generate, we wouldn't have it any other way. --Jon Foster

Amazing! July 18, 2008
In my opinion, series 3 is much better than series 1!
But I'm afraid that if you liked series 1 more than series two I guess you are not going to think series 3 is that good...

The Strange Tale of the Crack fox and Journey to the center of the punk are my favourites.
The only episode that isn't good is "The Chokes", That's the one with The Horrors. it's Horrible. haha.
apart from that, the DVD are worth 5 stars!

why is everyone saying it is rubbish? July 15, 2008
why is everyone saying this series is rubbish? it may be the same old boosh but when its done with such style and class who cares? it has got nothing on series 1 or series 2 and probably will go down as the most hated series. but i still enjoyed this series immensly and though it was the great old fashioned boosh

When my cousin first showed me the Mighty Boosh about a year ago, I hated it. I thought it was just weird! But after watching a few more episodes, I because addicted! I have now watched every single episode, and Series 3 is by far the best series yet (but Series 1 and 2 are still great). I'm so hooked that I'm going to see them live in January 09. Let's hope they make a 4th Series!

Biggest disappointment of 2007 June 18, 2008

For me, a fan of a long, long time, this was a big, bit letdown. This has nothing to do with "snobbishness" or "not liking them because they're too popular". I quite honestly could not care less what anyone thinks of the things I like, and the Mighty Boosh has never been any exception.

That said, since the've become more popular, Noel Fielding in particular seems to have disappeared further and further up his own arse, hanging out with celebrities &c. You might say, Vince Noir has consumed and taken over Fieldings personality. The reason I'm bringing this up is because it shows through on this here series three. In many ways, its views like a self-parody, with Fielding and, sadly, Barratt as well simply playing exaggerated versions or Noir & Moon respectively.

Its disappointing when you consider the two years, and the studio time & BBC funding they've had, and most of what they've done is in many places regurgitated loads of ideas, and indeed entire storylines in some cases, from the second series. Also, in many of the places where they havent done this, they've simply fallen back on exaggerated versions on things popularly associated with the Boosh, cases in point being the crimping and the scat singing.

However, all this said, I'm still gonna give it three stars for some occasions where the magic I fell in love with when I first got into the Boosh is still apparent, such as the Eels. This seems to show that the magics not quite gone yet, and theres still hope for the next series. Also, Rich Fulcher's parts are all great - his characters, including the highly welcome return of Bob Fossil are one of the biggest redeemers of series three.

A poor imitation and me a die-hard Boosh fan of some years too! May 28, 2008

I'm sorry lads, but this just doesn't cut the mustard and you two are certainly intelligent enough to know it too. The first series was pure joy; the second? weeeeell, it did have Old Greg.....But the the third? Sorry, no good. Take it away and do it better the next time. I mean, that last episode was simply pants. When 2 geniuses put out drivel like this there is something untoward afoot, e.g. greed, fatigue, boredom or plain burnout.
