Julian Barratt - Great in Nathan Barley
Noel Fielding - Great in Never Mind The Buzzcocks & The IT Crowd

Which makes it all the more puzzling as to why The Mighty Boosh is so unfunny.

I never got into the IT Crowd either and I don't know what Nathan Barley is. I like Never Mind the Buzzcocks but i'm not sure if i have an opinion of Fielding on that show as I havent watched it all that frequently since Lamarr presented it.

However, i agree that it isnt funny. Everyone went fucking apeshit over that show and I just never quite got it.

Possibly one of the most bleak final seasons... still there are some genuinely happy moments.

Season premier last night. Continues to kick Stargate Universe's ass for top sci-fi television program.



Has been really good this year. Love seeing my favorite cartoon back on the air, it's like it never left!

It took me a couple of years (literally) to get The Mighty Boosh but once it clicks- it's superb. There are a few duff moments but it's utter disregard for the atypical sitcom format and it's use of not only script but costumes and music makes it a very rewarding show and all those I.T crowd haters- Ricard Ayoade- comedy genius. He is so deadpan it hurts. He is also a writer and music video director too (Super Furry Animals etc). Matt Berry is great too.

The secret to good sitcom as opposed to sketch shows is character, character, character and the I.T crowd manages to create characters that are far from one dimensional, so place them in even mundane situations and they still appeal due to their characters.

Anyone here into Louie on FX? I've seen a handful of episodes and their all hilarious in a depressing, midlife crisis kind of way.

You should be able to find a few episodes on hulu. It's alright to start off in the middle of the season too, there's not too much progression per episode, it's a mix of the show and Louis C. K.'s stand up. Really good stuff, you'd probably like it.

I love Louie, it's completely hilarious on a whole different level. Exactly what you'd except from Louis C.K. if you've seen his stand-ups at all.
