VHS Movie Reviews of Monty Python's Flying Circus - Set 6 (Epi. 33-39)
Movie Review: Episode 38, clearing up
Summary: 4 Stars
The missing "Choreographed Party Political Broadcast" in show #38 was not A&E's doing. It's been reported that a tech at either Time-Life (the original syndicators) or the BBC had accidentally erased this sketch once it had shown here in the mid-to-late 70s. The omission of the BBC comedies preview, however, is another case.
There is a glimmer of hope. BBC America will start running Python beginning in a 10-hour marathon on May 26th, and there is word that a new "Megaset" DVD with previously left-out material may be coming.
Movie Review: Heartbreaking transfer to DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
Monty Python is a sacred institution that needs to be treated respectfully. What a shame that A&E didn't see things that way.There are many of us for whom these classic sketches are basically burned into our brains from having seen them countless times. This is because they stand up so well to repeated viewings. How, then, did A&E figure they could, so criminally, do the following, without some of us noticing:
- completely chop out the "Dad's Pooves" sketch
- completely chop out the "Choreographed Party Political Broadcast" sketch (right before the Book at Bedtime sketch at the start of the show)
- put in a horrific blip in the middle of "Biggles Dictates a Letter" in which a few seconds of dialogue are completely ruined
As has already been mentioned, the transfer is also poor in places. My efforts to point these matters out to A&E were shrugged off when I reported them, which leads me to believe there is no plan to fix these offensive errors. Buyers beware! At present it appears there is no way for the completionist to actually obtain the complete works of Monty Python in DVD format due to these omissions.
Movie Review: DVD should be treated better
Summary: 3 Stars
It is Monty Python, and as such it is good per se. However, whoever took care of DVD edition, did not pay much attention. Together with the usually arcane and mostly impractical title/chapter navigation found on all MPFS discs, the Set 6 DVD's show some serious image problems. While most of it is in line with the age of the masters, there are some obvious artefacts related to MPEG2 coding schemes - such as awfully shimmering endcredits in some episodes (in obvious contrast with the same credits when not in motion - and they are part of the show), and occasional swimming wall textures and auras surrounding some of the actors etc. It wouldn't be so annoying if it weren't possible to avoid this with better quality control.Movie Review: Funny!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, we all know that Monty Pythons Flying Circus is the funniest show ever. And that all there movies are great. But this collection is by far the funniest stuff i've ever seen. Spend an afternoon with Dennis moore or Mr. Pither. If you are a fan of the Kids in the Hall or Saturday Night Live this is a must have. The only complaint is WHY DON"T THEY GO ON TOUR AGAIN! Hight Lights: Salad Days, Cheese shop, Cycling store (Full Half Hour) Dirty vicar, penguins, Dennis Moore (Lupins) and Life Boat.
P.S: Michael Palins the man!
Movie Review: Still making us laugh after all these years.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Another wonderful collection of MP episodes. The only disappointments here were the editing of the Bus Conductor Sketch and the ommission of Dad's Doctors/Dad's Pooves sketch. Otherwise, a great collection and I can't give enough praise for Monty Python's Flying Circus. Eric is my favorite by the way! :)

It just doesn't get any better than this. The silly noises and cheap laughs you hear emanating from your expensive stereo speakers are intentional. The jerky, sometimes spastic movements of the characters on your television screen are actually an advanced form of the comedic arts, developed by the British virtuosos of Monty Python's Flying Circus. In fact, this is how television was intended to look and sound. If your television ever produces the sight or sound of rich drama or accomplished acting, there is most assuredly something drastically wrong with your set. Pop one of these cassettes into your VCR immediately to avoid further degradation of your telly. With: GRAHAM CHAPMAN as Mrs. Trepidatius JOHN CLEESE as Doris TERRY GILLIAM as The Swiss Mountaineer ERIC IDLE as Mr. Customer Man TERRY JONES as Mr. Cheap Laugh and MICHAEL PALIN as Mr. Very Bigliar Conceived, written and performed by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Animations by Terry Gilliam. Produced and directed by Ian MacNaughton.Six more opportunities to "Spot the Looney." This boxed set contains the final six episodes from the third and last full season of Monty Python's Flying Circus. More discriminating Monty Python fans are directed to episodes from seasons?1 and 2, also available on VHS and DVD. But completists can fast-forward or click through clunkers such as Prices on the Planet Algon or the rather obvious game-show sketch Prejudice to such beloved sketches from the Python pantheon as The Cheese Shop, a fermented curd variation on the famed Parrot Sketch, in which John Cleese is unable to get any "cheesy comestibles" from woefully understocked proprietor Michael Palin; the extended epic Cycling Tour, perhaps Palin's finest half-hour; the increasingly surreal Tudor Jobs Agency, in which an intrepid smut confiscator (Palin again) finds himself seemingly transported back to Elizabethan times, where he turns "the tide of Spanish porn"; Cleese's lupin-stealing highwayman Dennis Moore; the Oscar Wilde Sketch, in which Wilde (Graham Chapman), Whistler (Cleese), and Shaw (Palin) match wits in an escalatingly profane game of verbal oneupsmanship ("Your Highness is like a stream of bat's piss....") and the self-explanatory Dirty Vicar Sketch. --Donald Liebenson
