Editorial Review:
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

Rating: - Episode 38, clearing up
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Heartbreaking transfer to DVD
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 ... Read More
Rating: - DVD should be treated better
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 ...

Rating:  - Funny!!!!
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.

Rating: - Still making us laugh after all these years.....
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! :)
