Watching Monty Python on the New York PBS channel back in the seventies was a revelation and was huge influence on my then very middle class perspective of what was funny. I have to admit that some of Terry Gilliam cartoons gave me the creeps, especially the man pushing the baby carriage (or pram) and devouring any adoring person who came to close. Because of it's bizarre nature the show is still funny and not at all dated. Certainly among the funniest shows ever, with Fawlty Towers coming in at a close second. The surreal humor was an antidote for the junk I grew up with during that period of the seventies.

One of the funniest shows ever made.

My friend [born in 1994 fyi] has the box set for this. She LOVES Monty Python.

I too take strong exceptance for the assertiants of cheap jokes about poo poos!

Not even gonna bother quoting from this show. It's simply been done to death already. This show rocks.

Spam? yecch I don't want Spam!
Monty Python is one of the best Sketch shows of all time.

Way too radical for network channels in the early 1970's, in Southern California MPFC was then broadcast on PBS (KCET). The one-liners could (can still can) be repeated endlessly. And now for something completely different....

"And was head of Gestapo for nine years.No five!No,wasent head of Gestapo at all,I make joke!"-

or "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

what more do you want?

Sorry.I made a mistake wirting my comment.

It`s(...)Monty Python`s Flying Circus Show.

this show is hilarious

I saw it on KRCB (PBS) last saturday. It was a REALLY FUNNY show.

This show was classic, hands down. MPFC and Benny Hill where the best shows to come out of europe.

This open is from series 2 (1970).

I prefer the TV show to Holy Grail!

Holy Grail rocks

Oh yah! This show was awesome! This and the Black Adder were the only English comedies I could tolerate, but this was just too cool. I couldn't really tell you if the humor was intelligent because it was just too bizarre. I recommend you rent "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" if you want the best sample of this "wacky humor." Highly recommend it for anyone seeking something... different.

dude the opening is sooo trippy i love it.

I am a big fan of Monty Pyton!

I have all the films, and a best of in DVD!

I loved the theme song!

monty python ruled!!!
