Movie Reviews of Monty Python's Flying Circus: Set 1, Episodes 1-6
Movie Review: Monty Python's Flying Circus: Set 1, Episode 1-6
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Monty Python's Flying Circus. Have since the show first aired. This DVD is a collection of the first six episodes that were shown on TV. Although Python is not for everyone, I think what they did was classic comedy.
Summary of Monty Python's Flying Circus: Set 1, Episodes 1-6
Contains: candid photos (nudge nudge-say no more) the funniest joke in the world a bicycle repairman and crunch frog. Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 08/22/2000 Run time: 204 minutes Rating: NrIn 1969, five overeducated British comics and an American illustrator invaded the homes of unsuspecting BBC viewers with a brand of comedy that was, at the very least, odd. "Absurd," "bizarre," and "incomprehensible" are other descriptions that jump to mind. Nonetheless, this wacky sextet inaugurated an absurd tradition that continued through three and a half seasons of half-hour TV episodes, a series of live performances, a handful of movies, and a legacy of dead parrots and upper-class twits. Monty Python's Flying Circus, Set?1 features the first episodes foisted on a still-reeling public, introducing running gags ("And now for something completely different") and recurring characters (an armor-clad Terry Gilliam wielding a rubber chicken, Graham Chapman's pompous Colonel intruding on sketches he deems simply too silly, and of course Michael Palin's "It's a Man" wandered through the entire season). Among the sketch highlights in the first three shows are Nudge Nudge, the Funniest Joke in the World, How to Defend Yourself from a Man Attacking You with Fresh Fruit, Confuse a Cat, and The Dull Life of a City Stockbroker, all interspersed with various and sundry cut-out animation sequences by Terry Gilliam. These early episodes may lack the consistency and stream-of-consciousness flow of their later, more assured work, but they're packed with some of the most memorable moments of the group's brief but brilliant history. --Sean Axmaker
