The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset

The 1st thing that hit me when watching these episodes again was how ahead of the curve the comedy troupe was. I came across this show as a pre-teen via syndication on local TV. The very "British humor" ingrained itself in my psyche and has had a hugh influence.

"IT'S" all great stuff!! Episodes are intelligent, silly, surreal and thought provoking. The Pythons string seemingly random sketches together brilliantly and make it all work as a whole more often than not.

If you're unfamiliar with Monty Python or just want to reaquaint yourself with their brand of comic absurdity, this boxset is a great way to do it. The box set contains every episode, 2 live discs, plenty of extras and looks and sounds great.

"And now for something completely different..."

This is a really excellent set of the series that ran on the BBC, and has a few extras to look at as well. The humor and satire are very funny, along with all the great skits that include "Nudge, Nudge" and "Ministry of Silly Walks". It is hard to believe that the guys did these shows nearly 40 years ago and they are still as fresh as they were in the late 60's. No disappointment here!

16 discs for under $ 55!!!! An this is the Monty Python that a few years ago cost us $ 150 and many less extras. Everybody who loved comedy and Python should appreciate this very very much. Might note that I have read that the pack included Spanish subtitles. Not true!!! Only English subtitles for the deaf.

But funny.

If you know Monty Python from their movies (younger generations), this isn't consistently as funny as what you are used to. At times it is hillarious but at times it is nothing more than strange.

Well worth it, however.

I have been wanting the complete Monty Python collection for years but did have the money to spend. I'm so glad I waited for this great bargain.
