A friend ioc gave me the DVDs but it took me a year to watch them. When I did I couldn't believe I'd waited that long. I love season 2.. That is just so abstract. Nanageddon for example-you know nothing off the crunch! I love your attempts at describing the show.. I've had similar difficulty. I'd say it's a surreal comedy. Some people I've showed to love it where others hate it. it’s great you finally watched it Chuck. A friend ioc gave me the DVDs but it took me a year to watch them.

"Look Around You" is pure genius. I'll have to check out the others now. That makes at least 6 British series I want to watch that don't have passable US DVD versions yet. Looks like it's time to turn that old Mac Mini into a dedicated Region 2 DVD player. Ah, thanks for the recommendations. “Look Around You” is pure genius. I’ll have to check out the others now.

I recommend "Big Train", "Look Around You" and "The Day Today". I ordered them all from Amazon UK, on account of me having a dual region DVD player. "The Mighty Boosh" is my 7 year old niece's favorite show. I gave it to her for her birthday because I'm the coolest aunt ever. This is in place of me getting her pot on her 16th birthday.

Does England not have more than around 8 or 9 comedy actors? I just spotted Noel Fielding on “Darkplace” as the ape Dagless chases on bicycle.

On account of his diet: Head & Shoulders, toothpaste, and shit. Big pieces of shit. Considering how many of the episodes are based on the idea "They meet a freakish monster who wants to rape one of them," it's amazing they've managed to change it up so many times. I still say Old Greg is the creepiest. To get into my usual tedious over-analysis mode: I think I would've stopped at "like <em>The Wind in the Willows</em>, if one of the animals went to London and became a crack addict." I guess part of the genius of the show is that they know how to set it up where all the references are implicit, and the interesting parts are how they spin it from there. And yeah, watching them before bed is a problem. It's all got that weird dream logic anyway, so it lingers after you wake up and you spend the rest of the day with a song hook going through your head. Has adult swim aired the one about Howard's birthday party yet? That's my favorite one. He wasn’t that bad; he just made a tummy shame. On account of his diet: Head & Shoulders, toothpaste, and shit.

Like the one with the Crack Fox. That dude was one of the most insane things I've ever seen, and it haunts my dreams to this day.
