The BBC TV series The Mighty Boosh will debut on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim on March 29th at 1am (ET, PT).  Adult Swim has acquired all 3 seasons (20 episodes) of the wildly humorous surrealistic show created by comedians Julien Barratt and Noel Fielding.  Adult Swim will begin its broadcasting of The Mighy Boosh with the first episode of Season 3.  With its satire of a wide range of musical genres, its haphazard plotting, and frequent self-referential breaking of the fourth wall, The Mighty Boosh would appear to be good match for the irreverent Adult Swim.

 

Like The Young Ones in the 1980s, The Mighty Boosh has Stateside “cult hit” potential written all over it.  Although The Mighty Boosh TV series does contain many animated sequences (along with puppets and cheesy special effects), it is another example of the inroads that live action shows are making in to the once purely animated confines of Adult Swim.
