Was anyone annoyed with the legend of old greg?

I was watching it, and before you all tell me that i'm not a true fan and i should shut up, just look at the name. When i was watching it maybe have been tiny bits, but i noticed that adultswim cut out a lot of bits. If any of you don't know what i'm talking about, watch it again, then compare with original one, you can see little changes, i have watched this episode multiple times, and i swear that "love games" was longer, and so many other things.

 

Did anyone else notice that? Do you think the cutting out of some parts is unfair and takes away some of the comedy?

When you are the moon, the best form you can be is a full moon. And then the half moon... he's all right. But the full moon is the famous moon. And then three-quarters, eh, no one gives a sh*t about him. When does he come, two days in, to the calendar month? He's useless. Full moon. The moon. The main moon. Adultswim has edited the boosh, they shall pay for that...

Yeah, the edits have been an issue with all the episodes...what with the limitation of the time slot.  We've been discussing Old Gregg specifically over in another thread, so you might want to vent a little over there....Old Gregg The Funky Merman Discussion

 

Ha, yeah clearly you're a fan. Is this the first time you've watched an [as] version of the show?

Yeah I was pretty dissapointed when parts of the ledgend of old gregg were cut out....

they cut out some parts that i thought were funny, like the part when old gregg told the story about the funk,

they cut out like half of it...yeah they did cut out most of "love games" and it pissed me off a little.

I would say i'm a big boosh fan and I don't appreciate the episodes being cut.

[as] doesn't have tne 28 minute window like BBC does, therefore to air the show on television, they have to cut things from the television air. It's either that, or no Boosh.

However the show is available on The Fix ([adult swim] Video) uncut.

Yeah they've cut some of the best scenes from Mighty Boosh episodes. Like the Hash Cake scene in "Party", as well as the crimping part. They don't cut out anything in adultswim video though.

The fact that anyone can cut 1/4th of a show and not have the show end up utter crap is amazing and speaks to TMB's Mighty Booshiness, but yes it is unfortunate and [adultswim] should air a disclaimer at the start that 'NOTE: THIS SHOW IS HELLA EDITED AND YOU AIN'T GETTIN THE REAL THING BROTHA ONLY A CLOSE SIMULACRUM'..  something like that..  I suppose fans will find out somehow or other.....

adult swim video does edit, but luckly not as much as what airs on tv. of course its little things like spots with no dialogue to spped up time, but its also little things, like the forementioned edit to love game, and the obvious edit to old gregg's story of the funk, sense adult swim seems to edit only certain swears. what bugs me about the adult swim edit of old gregg, both on air and online, is old gregg's love for baileys (smooth and creamy), i remember the online version simply reverses the word ''baileys'', but tv cuts all references entirely, basically ruining half the jokes.

 

the old gregg episode got me hooked on the boosh, but how adult swim severely edits them is disgraceful, i find half of the episodes unwatchable as most of the humor is removed. if the boosh is to be appreciated in its true form, pick up the dvds.
