Although BBC America originally aired only series 1 in the U.S (all episodes in their entirety), "The Mighty Boosh" began airing in North America on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block (with up to 6 minutes cut from each episode), starting 29 March 2009 with the third series. In February 2016 series 1 of "The Mighty Boosh" was made available to watch via the online service BBC iPlayer for six weeks; this included every episode minus the final episode of the first series 'Hitcher'.
