Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
grantss Brilliant, innovative comedy. Possibly the greatest comedy series of all time. Certainly the most influential, iconic and quoted.Season 1 was great, but not their best. Still experimenting and finding their feet, it had some great sketches, but nothing as iconic as what was to come.Season 2 was where they really hit their straps. Most of their well-known sketches are from Season 2: Piranha Brothers, Ministry of Silly Walks, The Bruces, Spam, The Spanish Inquisition, Scott of the Antarctic.Season 3 was more of the same.Season 4 was where they tapered off. John Cleese had left and the creativity just wasn't anywhere near the levels of Seasons 2 and 3. No wonder it was only 6 episodes.Timeless comedy that has become embedded in culture. It's that big, brilliant and important.
dragokin I've talked to a gentleman from the UK who witnessed the original TV broadcast of Monty Python's Flying Circus. It has been a mind blowing experience. Although i've discovered it a couple of decades after the gentleman above, i can only share his feelings.There is no need to underline the importance of Monty Python's Flying Circus for today's comedy. After all, it has spawned several movies and innumerable copycats. It followed in the footsteps of the Marx brothers and absurdist comedy, for example Hellzaappopin' (1941) and unleashed talent in the comedy world and opened new fields of entertainment.The only criticism i might have is that it created a safe haven for semi-talented individuals who make whatever they want a name it comedy, in the similar way that surrealism influenced mainstream art of the twentieth century.
maxschrek5 Funny, funny, funny! One of the funniest shows ever! It is a God send to all nerds (like me) everywhere. Without this show nerds would have nothing to do at all. But this show sparked the Nerd Invaision of the 60's and 70's-unlike that pointless British Rock and Roll Invaision, I mean who needs the Beatles ? These guys are The Beatles of comedy. My favorite sketch on the show is The Fish Slapping Dance (wait, is that even a real sketch?). It's just such a random sketch, it's funny! My favorite line is "Well if a homicidal manic comes and attacks you in the middle of the night wielding a pineapple, don't come crying to me!" That pretty much sums up Monty Python. The only sad thing is that, it's gone. Graham Chapman's dead, Terry Gilliam and John Cleese have moved on to bigger and better things, Michael Palin's gone traveling, Eric Idle's kicking back feeding of his cut of the Python legacy. And what the hell happened to Terry Jones? But the show will live on in our hearts. Actually just a little joke, I'm actually rat-catcher who needs cash. No you're not! Yes I am! No you're not! Yes I am!
murdermystery77 This is one of my most favorite shows.It's so silly,it's smart.I mean not everyone can get away with sketches that include fresh fruit defense,men in drag,and mattress clerks who don't have their math together. i personally love this show(the humor plus a deep crush on a few python men(cough eric cough mike cough terry) have fueled it:) But some don't like it.they think its stupid or silly etc etc. Well to them I say Fie. you will love this series.The absurdness plus terry gilliams nightmarishly goofy animations make for an excellent TV show. YOU MUST WATCHMy unofficial signature(because IMDb doesn't like me) Smile.Jesus loves you
