Very possibly the most tragic waste of "Oxbridge" educations
ever broadcast, MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS made all of America sit up and say: "what?".
It put Spam back in the national pantry, launched cross-dressing as a national craze and
made Rene Descartes a household name. The inspired antics of Cleese and co. greatly
streamlined the high-school geek identification process and turned dead pets and cheese
into comic fodder. Now, all 13 episodes from MONTY PYTHON's debut season are back together
in their original order on six videos, like that has any empirical value...
- Whither Canada--Famous Deaths & Whizzo Butter.

Milkmen & Nudge Nudge.
