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. |
