	BBC - Comedy Guide - Monty Python's Flying Circus
		But although Monty Python's Flying Circus is the most analysed comedy programme of all time it remains difficult to convey in print the sheer bombastic vitality of a show that seemed to break all the rules and then establish completely new ones.
		Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979, directed by Terry Jones) was a massive success and probably represents the Python team at the height of their collaborative creative powers.
		Throughout the 1970s Monty Python records and spin-off books had been selling in abundance, and the team was also gaining a reputation for their stage presentations of the TV sketches.

		And in front of that, added "Monty Python" because it sounded like a really bad theatrical agent, and also that the large, constricting snake was appropriate imagery.
		Monty pythons pretty much invented and perfected their unique brand of humor which can be categorized as 'surreal'.
		The comparison is valid because Monty Pythons at their peak enjoyed the status of any of the rock stars in those days (including groupies) and the Beatles, George Harrison in particular, were their biggest promoters.

		Monty Python's Flying Circus is arguably the most influential comedy series ever broadcast.
		Monty Python's Flying Circus has been elevated to cult status since it first transmission in 1969 - but as well as enjoying their fair share of adoration, its members have also been demonised for their ground-breaking brand of humour.

		Because people were already starting to refer to the show as The Circus in official documents, all the team now had to do was decide whose flying circus it should be.
		The writing process was given a head-start by the number of sketches that each of them had lying around that had been rejected by their previous employers for being too rude, too controversial or just too silly.
		The opening episode of the first series was eventually broadcast on 5 October, 1969, although transmission of the rest of the series was rather fragmented, with the transmission time moved around or even cancelled from week to week, and some regions of the UK showing local-interest programmes instead.

	Monty Python's Flying Circus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monty Python's Flying Circus (also known as Flying Circus, MPFC or just Monty Python during the fourth season) was a highly popular, surreal BBC sketch comedy show from Monty Python, and the group's initial claim to fame.
		The show often targeted the idiosyncrasies of British life (especially professionals), and was at times politically charged, and the members of Monty Python were highly educated (Oxford and Cambridge graduates), with their comedy often pointedly intellectual by way of numerous references to philosophers and literary figures.
		Another possible source of the word "circus" was the title of the 1963 stage show Cambridge Circus, which featured Cleese and Chapman.

	Monty Python - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monty Python, or The Pythons, is the collective name of the creators of Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969.
		The Pythons' creative control allowed them to experiment with form and content, discarding the established rules of television comedy and breaking new ground for those who came after (George Harrison, who became friends with several members of the cast, said that he regarded Monty Python as "continuing the spirit" of The Beatles).
		When Monty Python's Flying Circus was shown in the USA by ABC in their "Wide World of Entertainment" slot in 1975, the episodes were re-edited, thus losing the continuity and flow intended in the originals.

		Mony Python s Flying Circus has supplanted Shakespeare as the British variety act most quoted by people who haven t actually seen the original show in the original order as it is here.

		The coming together of the influential Python team is regarded as a milestone for modern absurdist comedy, though each of the six members had been doing similar sketch work prior to this first 1969 series, of whose highlights this video consists.
		The most revolutionary aspect of Python was its eschewal of punch lines, preferring as they did bizarre, surreal links and quantum leaps into the imagination of animator Terry Gilliam.
		This compilation of sketches from the first series of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' is excellent in its own right - it has all the fondly-remembered favourites from the first series, including 'The Lumberjack Song', 'The Upper Class Twit of the Year Show', and of course, 'The Parrot Sketch'.

		However, the rate at which these short skits were delivered to Python's audience meant that the series as a whole was a major success, and as such The Dead Parrot Sketch, The Ministry Of Silly Walks and Is This The Right Room For An Argument?, have gone down in Python, and thereby television legend.
		The Python Team continued for 45 shows and five years (sans Cleese in the last series which was now simply titled "Monty Python"), until they broke up the partnership to pursue individual careers.
		However, this wasn't the end for Python, and the team got together again to write and star in several movie projects, the most controversial of which was The Life Of Brian in 1979, before the sad and premature death of Graham Chapman in 1989.
