About this product

Product Information

Monty Python is not a man. Monty Python is six men. Consisting of British actors Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and American Terry Gilliam, the hugely influential comedy troupe evolved from Cambridge University's Footlight Society in the late 1960s in order to become one of the most worshipped comedy acts of all time. Groundbreaking both in terms of its offbeat acting style and radical approach to the most controversial, taboo subjects (including sex, race, and politics), the legendary series MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS would forever change the face of sketch comedy. After the series' demise, the unit would go on to create several big screen classics, including MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL and MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN, as well as spawning major Hollywood careers for its members (most notably, Gilliam, director of THE FISHER KING and TWELVE MONKEYS). This release includes some of the best episodes from the show.

"Personal Best" but not the Best
I am a long time fan of Monty Python and thought that the "Personal Best" DVD set was quite good, but I was disappointed that some of the most famous sketches were abbreviated for some reason (such as the "Dead Parrot" sketch, which I believe to be their #1 best). Still, many others are fully intact in incredibly funny. Much of this DVD set includes interviews with the various members of the original comedy cast: Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, John Cleese and Eric Idle. As you might suspect, the most humorous was that of John Cleese. After that it would be probably Michael Palin. Of course, there was no interview with Chapman as he is the only deceased cast member. In turn, each of them was asked to recollect their favorite sketches. In the majority of cases, the one's they picked were ones we would also choose. (Cleese's, "Ministry of Silly Walks;" Palin's, "The Fish Slapping Dance." Although this was not always true. For some, they referred to the German language episode, which is one of my all time favorites. Anyone remember "Der Bayerische Restaurant Stuck?" I though overall it was good buy and the seller was very good in most respects. However, if you want a better collection, your best best would be to buy the entire season by season DVD set. That way you can get all the comedy you want. Of course, the drawback is that the season by season disc set can be a bit pricey. In the final analysis, it would probably come down to a choice between cost and comedy. May you make the choice that is best for you.Read full review

Now for something really great!
Growing up with the Python's unique humor, I thought there could not be a way to top their niche. This collection mixes their own choice sketches with some personified view, each having his own presentation. I have laughed so hard at Eric Idle's sketch, and come to really understand Graham Chapman in his sad and brief life. Some are stronger than others but at this stage, we need to respect each man in his art.

The personal Best of Monty Python's Flying Circus
I like the dvd set because it has everyone who was a python and their favorite skits. I also like how funny the set is. I decided to buy it because I like the movies and only got to see a few of the shows on tv and wanted to see more. The only thing I didn't like about it was that they don't show the full skit with some of them. There were a lot of funny ones that I know they didn't show the full skit. Other than that no complaints. I am very pleased with the price, content, and overall purchase.

The Personal Best of Monty Python's Flying Circus
The content in this set of DVD's was something that my children enjoyed several years ago. Now they have teenagers of their own and I considered the set as a Christmas present. I liked that the set was less expensive from e-bay than from specialty catalogues and I was pleasantly surprised when the set came wrapped in the original packaging. The oldest teenager mentioned amid the Christmas rush that he thought it was hilarious. (It's not easy for Grandma to please teenage boys!!)

The penguin on your telly exploded!
The monty python team of comediennes truly deserve a tribute, and this is ... IT! Containing six discs,each devoted to one member of the crew,this set sums up the comedy genius that was monty python.The set includes spam egg sausage and spam, dead parrots,an albatross,the outstanding twit of the year,silly walks, and various sorts of silliness that have never since been duplicated.John cleese did his own bit "in character". Mr. Cleese was 96 years old at the time,and this was probably the last thing he ever did in film (video). This set of discs will leave you laughing,entertained, and thoroughly confused. In short, buy this set!... LEMON CURRY???
