Super weird! Decent skits at times. Feels like the British version of the original Saturday Night Live. Captioning sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education.
Movie Reviews
I cry foul.
Marc Halperin | Los Angeles | 11/30/1999
(3 out of 5 stars)
"I give it 5 stars for the Pythons and 1 star for A&E or 3 stars overall. A&E have to be commended for bringing the Pythons to DVD, but Jeers to them for exploiting us fans, After packaging 3-4 Avengers episodes per disk it is ridiculous for them to only include 3 Python Episodes per disk when 6-8 would easily fit. This is the type of crass commercialism the Pythons would usually ridicule. I cry foul."
Long Live A&E and DVD (especially the naughty bits!)

"I've become addicted to Monty Python thanks to A&E's release of Monty Python's Flying Circus on DVD. The packaging, the design of the menu screen, and the extras are all wonderful. A&E has filled these sets full of Spam, Spam, Spam, and Spam. A person could spend a week watching all the episodes and the great bonuses such as live performances of the sketches at the Hollywood Bowl. These sets are a revelation to anyone who grew up watching the series and especially to those who have never seen it before. Monty Python's Flying Circus will certainly stand the test of time and A&E deserves a lot of credit for producing these DVDs. Anything from Monty Python or Terry Gilliam on DVD is highly recommended viewing."
