Is 'whacky T.V' becoming predictable?

I was watching television last night, there was a comedy night on BBC three, when "Little Britain" came on. As much as I love the character of Andy Pipkin (yeah I know), the whole show has grown somewhat predictable and tired. They use the same jokes and ride catchphrases. Along with Catherine Tate (who honestly does crack me up) who seems to create characters initially and then ride on the popularity of those characters.

However, a show I discovered recently, called "The Mighty Boosh" doesn't follow any pattern and is currently stretching the boundaries of surrealist comedy (in my opinion) and the only real consistency with the show is the four main characters that were taken from the first series. However these characters are so diverse that anything is possible in their (mis)adventures. First of all it stars the two writers of the show Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding who play Howard Moon and Vince Noir, respectively. Then along with them comes a Shaman called Naboo, played by Noel's brother Michael, and Naboo's familiar Bollo the huge 6ft gorilla. The nusic is so inventive and the range of characters that drift in and out of the show are hilariously bizzare but well played out and highly detailed.


this show will hopefully stay on the air for a while.
