Summary: Simply the best way to go!!!
Review: Mony Python's Flying Circus ranks amongst the best comical teams in history. Ejoyment of their brand of humor hinges heavily on ones appreciation of the absurd. Many sketches start out of the blue, and even more finish without a punchline (the members believed that any good build-up could not survive the punch-line of a joke). All the classic sketches are here of course, with my favourite being the "Mr. Hilter Sketch". But talking about the content is useless. Those who know Monty Python understand how important it is to own all the (uncut) episodes. Those who are unfamiliar with the series should watch an episode before purchasing the entire run (although I am confident that there is no human alive who will not find at least a part of this series hilarious).

This box set is the ultimate collection for Python fans. If you have ever laughed during a Monty Python sketch, get this box set sooner rather than later. It will be a purchase you will enjoy for the rest of your life.

Summary: If you don't already have this, well...you don't yet have it
Review: By far the best 14 DVD's in my collection. If you love Python, then you should buy it. No if, ands, or buts. Just do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best
Review: There' not much you can say about Monty Python's flying circus, except that it's brilliant. I bought this set two months ago and have watched it three times, soon starting to view it the forth, and it just keeps getting funnier every time I watch it. The extras on the dvds are Ok but nothing special, the quizes are pretty fun the first time but mainly the extras are short outtakes from different scetches.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh, bloody ..
Review: Now I'm going to have to buy the stupid thing, aren't I? The entire series? This is the most hilarious work that has ever been produced. This sketch comedy far exceeds any other, mostly because of the intelligence behind it. Half of them had law degrees. Michael Palin majored in history at Oxford (I think it was Oxford). Of course, the individual sketches are priceless. Atilla the Bun, The Spam Song, The Spanish Inquisition, The parrot sketch, The sketch about two people in a bed, The Cheese Shop, The Architects Sketch, etc, are incredible. Not to mention the letters that are received in the middle of the program. (Dear sir, I object strongly to the letters on your program. They are clearly not written by the general public, and are merely included for a cheap laugh. Sincerely, William Knickers.) (Dear Sir, I am sorry this letter was late, it should have come at the beginning of the program.) Perfect performances by the troupe certainly added to the appeal. Can five stars be enough to give. How about this: 14 videos, five stars each, makes for a grand total of (processing . . .) 70 stars!

Summary: If there's a fire at my house...I grab this first...
Review: ...then I grab the family and out the door we go. The Monty Python collection is one of my favorite things in the world (along with my MST3K and Red Dwarf collections...oh, and er, my family). With all its digital imperfections it's simply awesome!

You get them all (well, most. The german episode may be missing). Lumberjack song! Spam! Nudge nudge! The legendary (no really!) Parrott sketch! The Spanish Inquisition! Silly walks! Animals exploding! Fish slapping! Men dressed as woman! And on and on... Plus a ton that you probably don't remember seeing or have never seen. By the time you've watched them all you'll be ready to start from the beginning. With proper care, On DVD they will never wear out.

I recommend you also buy the 2 volume transcript set called "The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All The Words". You'll be preforming the skits yourself with your buddies in no time. Just mind that your mum doesn't catch you in 'er closet going through 'er knickers!

Summary: Oh.. your no fun anymore...
Review: This complete set of Monty python will finally satisfy your craving. There are the brilliant sketchs that changed the way we looked at sketch comedy. The logic jumps that they made to craft some scenes are great.

The funny thing is as an american, they did things we can only just start doing on TV here. This is the complete set. I had to stay up late when I was little to catch this on PBS.

I find the series seems dated for people who are not already fans, however don't let that stop you from watching it alone. These guys will have you doubling over in laughter.

I love the spanish inquisition, dennis more, funny walks, how not to be seen, the reatrded olympics, look out for the blamanche. An impressive 14 Disc set that will have people taking you DVD collection seriously.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My TV Past Comes Alive
Review: Too many nights as a child staying up to watch these things, hunting and pecking through TV Guide to find when they play. Ah, no longer. All in you easy-to-find package.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Essential viewing for Python fans
Review: Finally -- the entire series, complete and (almost) uncut! This is a great box set, not only because of the sheer volume of material, but also because of the very organized way in which it's presented. For example, it's easy to find your favorite sketch or episode. And the headings on each DVD menu make it easy to skip from sketch to sketch, or episode to episode. And of course, what can you say about the brilliant material that hasn't already been said? No less than comic genius. Buy this set and watch it over and over -- it never gets old.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This DVD is alive, unlike the Norwegian blue parrot
Review: And now for something completely different...an excellent quality DVD set of Britain's all-time best TV program. All 45 episodes are presented in chronological order and uncut (with 3 exceptions), and it serves as proof that people will buy TV series on DVD.

Well, we have egg and bacon, egg and sausage, egg and DVD, egg and spam, DVD and spam, spam spam spam DVD and spam, baked beans DVD and spam, spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans and spam. Lovely spam, wonderful spam...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Supreme Classic Series
Review: Ah... Monty Python. What hasn't been said about them? They're hilarious, ridiculous, bizarre, unusual, humorous, enjoyable, deep, sincere, sarcastic, crazy, and legendary. I mean every single one of those in the best way possible. Basically, they're just about the craziest group of people this planet has ever spawned and you're crazy if you don't buy this collection. It will keep you laughing for hours upon hours and then, you'll do it all over again. This is as good as humor gets, folks.
