Editorial Reviews

Here it is -- the Big Bang of British Comedy in one beautiful box. 14 DVDs make up 45 episodes, i.e. the complete and entire Monty Python's Flying Circus television show, unadultered and totally insane. Drawing cues from Lenny Bruce, Sid Caesar, and UK comedy paratroopers Beyond the Fringe, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam et. al. created a new comedy that was as curious and lateral as it was hysterical. It's ALL here, from SPAM to "Cheese," the Lumberjack Song to the Dead Parrot Sketch, the eye-spinning groundbreaking animation to special outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage . . . and so much more. Whether you're a hardcore fan or a new convert, this is the set to keep you laughing 'till kingdom come. This second iteration of the Monty Python Megaset adds two discs not included in the previous release: Monty Python Live!, previously available separately, offers vintage and more recent live performances by the troupe, including the 20-year celebration of Monty Python Parrot Sketch Not Included, and the all-German Monty Python’s Fligender Zirkus episode #1.

November 11, 2009: JUST AWESOME!!!

A Classic for Python Enthusiastsby clfd

Reader Rating:
See Detailed Ratings

April 28, 2009: When PBS first brought Monty Python to these shores, I became an instant fan of the show and later the movies. That was 35 years ago and I can still be counted as a great fan and this is the essential collection for any enthusiast. Though finding individual skits and such is daunting, the body of work is impressive and one of the cornerstones of my video collection. Arguably not for anyone, I still continue to laugh and find things I have missed before--they're still silly, witty, odd, and quotable. A must for any Pythonophile.
