Boosh in the USA

I've waited 2 years and the Boosh DVDs, all 3 seasons, are finally being sold in the US.  One (edited) episode every Sunday night on Adult Swim is not enough.

The Mighty Boosh, a comedy out of the UK, first aired on BBC 3 in 2004 with their 1st season.  The show mostly revolves around 2 very opposite friends, a shaman, and a gorilla in a different setting each season.  The Boosh stars and creators, Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, have made 2 additional seasons, The Mighty Book of Boosh, a Boosh Festival in Kent, a live tour, and more.  It's weird how much I know about them.  Watch Noel and Julian on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon here.



The Boosh has had several bands as guests on the show such as Razorlight, The Horrors (as The Black Tubes), and Robots In Disguise (Noel's gf's group).  They also make repeated references to groups such as Fleetwood Mac (mostly Tusk), Kings of Leon, Kraftwerk, Adam Ant, Amy Winehouse, The Human League, The Cure, Klaxons, Pete Dougherty, Mick Jagger, and a ton of Gary Numan ("electro pioneer").
Also, Noel Fielding has appeared in music videos such as anything by Robots in Disguise, Blue Song by Mint Royale, and Vlad the Impaler by Kasabian.
