“The Mighty Boosh” is one of those shows you need to see to really understand, but once you do, you’re hooked. The quirky British comedy stars creators Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding as buddies Howard Moon and Vince Noir, respectively. Season 1 finds them working as keepers in a run-down zoo, in Season 2 they live in a flat together and go on adventures with a shaman and a talking ape, and by Season 3 they’re working in the shaman’s second-hand shop, the Nabootique. Along the way, they fight kangaroos, encounter yeti, search for the Jacuzzi of Youth, and face off with a murderous albino wizard. Oh yeah, and there are musical numbers too. It’s “Flight of the Conchords” meets “Monty Python” with a little “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” sprinkled in. The new box set collects all 20 episodes across six discs and includes all of the bonus features from the previously released DVDs, plus a seventh disc of new extras. Inside the collectible box, fans will also find a sticker sheet, art cards, and a booklet.

The half-hour sitcom “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” starred Shandling as a neurotic, slightly self-obsessed stand-up comedian who did everything and anything to break the “fourth wall” between performer and audience.

The program often featured Garry doing monologues and show-closing summations of the episode’s events. All of the supporting characters on the show were also aware that they were TV sitcom characters.

Inspired by the work of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, this show is full of fascinating scientific detail as well as quirky characters. When identifying a dead body becomes nearly impossible due to badly decomposed, burned, or destroyed remains, law enforcement calls in forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan (the enchanting Emily Deschanel), who has a unique talent: She can read clues left behind in victims' bones and use them to solve murders. Many of her law enforcement colleagues have trouble dealing with her intimidating intelligence and hard-core ambition, but FBI Agent Seeley Booth (the delicious David Boreanaz), who has a knack for dealing with people, finds he's the perfect match for the scientifically driven Brennan. Season 4 found the duo on a business trip to China, investigating the death of conjoined twins, and dealing with a case of death imitating art.
