The Mighty Boosh - New Series

[Cromcruaich]

Mighty Boosh, new series, BBC 3, second week of november.

Your home work if youve not completed it already is to buy the first 2 series and watch em before then.

1st series superior to 2nd imo. Hope the 3rd lives up to expectations.

I always get so f*cking confused with this "series" word that seems to have popped up.

Season, ok, next season. New season. Understood.

But when someone says "The new Dr Who series is starting"...what? New dr who? Again?!

"No no, i meant series 3"

Oh...

Oh...

American's say 'Season' as well...that makes you one of them fatty burger men!

 

[Bahumat]

Also not forgetting their live show. Loved going to that

Ah, but what do English call a new series then? Just "new" series?

How do you differentiate?

Or is it show?

Let's take 24 as an example.

"Hey guys, the new series of 24 is about to start".
"Is that series 4 or 5?"
"5"

We just say "new series", same as saying "Hey BillyBob, that new season GOD DAMN of My Name Is Earl is about to start on the video box"

Yes i got THAT you teet

But what do you call a new series? As in, "Megakill 2000 should start in 2009" A new show?

As in, "heroes, My name is Earl, Boston legal and Stargate Atlantis are ______ that are shown on various TV channels."

As in, "heroes, My name is Earl, Boston legal and Stargate Atlantis are ______ that are shown on various TV channels."

I suppose it depends on what the sentence is. We say Series and Show depending on this.

In your example I would say Shows, As in - "heroes, My name is Earl, Boston legal and Stargate Atlantis are all Show's that are shown on various TV channels."

I would personally write this as "heroes, My name is Earl, Boston legal and Stargate Atlantis are all TV Show's that are currently on various channels."

You could say "Heroes is a New Series on at the moment"

or

"Heroes has released the 2nd series of their epic story. This show is on every week at 7pm".

Sorry for the poor answer, tis a hard one to explain as it's dependant on the sentence

 

[tris-]

ah ffs, so i need to buy even more weed? :/

 

[old.Tohtori]

I sup*snip*or the poor answer, tis a hard one to explain as it's dependant on the sentence

Does this mean we're Friends now? or still Friend of a Friend?

Let's just say i won't send that hitman after you because of that seal slaughter picture

Might Boosh rocks
Will definately be recording/watching that thanks for the heads up

 

[Cromcruaich]

Didnt really follow the series/season discussion.

Yanks typically call things new seasons because they have a lot more episodes in them - means they last a season.

UK stuff, because they actually use a few creative and talented individuals to create output as opposed to scripting by commitee tend to just have 6 or so episodes which has always been called a series.

Its why the UK will hopefully always have classic comedy that will go down in history, and america will have Friends.

I remember Eggy and Calmin introducing me to Mighty Boosh when they was on the piss over here in Denmark. Its fucking awesome!!

 

[Mikah75]

season is the american word, series is the english word

Think i'll wait for it on tv.

Like the feeling when you know other people are watching it at the same time.

Plus that player looks dire.

Not keen on The Mighty Boosh tbh, Peter Serafinowicz is where the funny is at now
