They wore napkins on their heads, put things on top of other things, and made the Spanish Inquisition hip. They came from a small island off the coast of Europe and took the world by storm. They set a standard for dementia that will never be matched. They were Monty Python.

From the original "It's..." to "Dead Parrot" to the "Olympic Hide and Seek Final" every single sketch, every silly song, every Monty moment from the legendary TV show is preserved here in better-than-original form, digitally remastered and augmented with extras like Monty Karaoke, Gillianimations art gallery, rare skits from the "Fliegender Zirkus" (it's German, you work out the translation) and much, much more.

Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series - DVD Reviews
By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews
Published on: 11/7/2008 4:31 PM
In the history of sketch comedy, Monty Python's Flying Circus stands as The Beatles of humor. Not only were members Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam geniuses at the short skit format, but they redefined the configuration and expanded its realm of possibilities. Celebrated like rock stars and elevated to the status of gods, such success begs the question: does the origin of this myth --- i.e. the TV show from several decades ago -- still hold up. The answer, without a doubt, is a resounding yes....read the full review

5 of 5 Finally, the Python gang receives the credit it de Monday, April 01, 2002
Grant W. Goldenstar, III from Keystone Heights, Florida  

I can sum up this collection in one word, "Wunderbar". I was excited to see all the classic sketches that I had come to love and enjoy as a child in one beautiful box set that was missing only a big red bow to make it perfect. On several occasions I could not stop myself from falling on the ground and laughing as hard as I have ever laughed before. They brought back a lot of memories for me. This set is a must-have for all the die-hard Python fans out there. My special thanks to A&E for finally bringing this long-awaited BBC classic ground-breaking series to the realm of DVD.
