isagondim Absolutely fascinating, this humour is peculiar and never gets old or boring. I watch it now when I'm 18 and my uncle who's 50 years old watched it too. Very innovative and creative
gridoon2018 It's....."Monty Python's Flying Circus". This show has too many memorable, priceless bits to count - and not a few duds. At their best, the Pythons invented a new language for comedy (and TV): anything goes, anything can happen, at any time and any place. It bends the mind. Perhaps as good a summary of their primary purpose as any can be found in a Graham Chapman line: " we need to cure people of their sanity". But sometimes they take an idea that's not very funny in the first place, and they stretch it out too long. The first two seasons are generally the strongest; the third is also good but more uneven; the fourth is by far the weakest (though it still has its moments) - their hearts and minds were more in the upcoming "Holy Grail" by that time. Objectively speaking, an episode like "Mr. Neutron" is as awful as "The Spanish Inquisition" is brilliant. But my single favorite episode has to be the early "Ant - An Introduction" - don't miss it! *** out of 4 as a whole. P.S. Carol Cleveland - what a WOMAN!
chinesexiaomin No more I can say. Should be studied and learnt by all actors in the world.
maxschrek5 Funny, funny, funny! One of the funniest shows ever! It is a God send to all nerds (like me) everywhere. Without this show nerds would have nothing to do at all. But this show sparked the Nerd Invaision of the 60's and 70's-unlike that pointless British Rock and Roll Invaision, I mean who needs the Beatles ? These guys are The Beatles of comedy. My favorite sketch on the show is The Fish Slapping Dance (wait, is that even a real sketch?). It's just such a random sketch, it's funny! My favorite line is "Well if a homicidal manic comes and attacks you in the middle of the night wielding a pineapple, don't come crying to me!" That pretty much sums up Monty Python. The only sad thing is that, it's gone. Graham Chapman's dead, Terry Gilliam and John Cleese have moved on to bigger and better things, Michael Palin's gone traveling, Eric Idle's kicking back feeding of his cut of the Python legacy. And what the hell happened to Terry Jones? But the show will live on in our hearts. Actually just a little joke, I'm actually rat-catcher who needs cash. No you're not! Yes I am! No you're not! Yes I am!
