Monty Python TV shows, movies, records, and books are a time capsule of their anarchic lunacy. But more precious is an audience with Python, and as close as we can get is Live at the Hollywood Bowl, the long-sought-after 1982 concert film in which the Fab Six perform their greatest hits before a wildly enthusiastic crowd. Robert Klein moderates Live at Aspen, the irreverent 1998 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival tribute that reunited John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, and Terry Jones onstage for the first time in 18 years on the occasion of the troupe's 30th anniversary. Highlights include a shockingly funny moment involving Graham Chapman's ashes, and a joyous "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" sing-along. Less essential is 1989's clip show Parrot Sketch Not Included: 20 Years of Python, which also does not include "The Oscar Wilde Sketch," "Cheese Shop," "Nudge-Nudge," and many other signature sketches. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset
The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16 Ton Megaset Now here is a problem, how do you review the work of comedy gods? I'm not even going to go there, to even start would be blasphemous. For years I have wanted a complete copy of all the series of Flying Circus yet in the U.K. this has still not been released. Only now are the series being released here on dvd and only each individual series. So for the same amount of money as collecting all 4 series of Flying Circus you can get this boxset which also gives you 2 extra discs of live shows, the German Episode, plus bonus features, making this collected edition much more value for money (but only if you have a multi-regional dvd player). <

>This boxset is fantastic, it took me an entire week to watch all 16 dvds! But there are a few things that let the boxset down. The "Meet the Chaps" feature gets repetitive as it's the same information on each of the episode discs. The "Upper-class twit of the Year" and "Gumby" quizzes are a good feature but slightly repetative. I loved the Gillianimations Art Gallery, to see the images Terry Gilliam used for the animated sequences is great. The interactive menus are good but a bit more variety could have been added to the main menus to make them more entertaining. But to be honest none of that matters to an ardent Monty Python fan, they would just click through the menu until they get to their beloved Flying Circus, whether it would be a full episode or just their favourite sketch. <

>My biggest and major gripe about this boxset (and this is the only reason why I have rated this 4 stars instead of 5) is that under the shear weight of all 16 dvd discs that the spine of the boxset has a tendancy to rip at the bottom and at the top, if the spine, bottom and top were reinforced it could take the weight of all those discs. Or if was to be re-released I would suggest that it would more amusing to have it repackaged in the shape of a 16 Ton weight.
The (almost) Complete, Original and Genuine.
In the autumn of 1969 I was a thirteen year old schoolboy when Python appeared: it was love at first sight and over the years I grew to appreciate the subtelties even more. I bought the 'Best of...' DVDs from the BBC and enjoyed them, but something was missing and it wasn't just Australian tennis stars' investigation into the intelligence of penguins!
<
>Now that I have the complete series in original sequence I can see that the shows were planned as complete self contained entities. I recommend all my fellow 'Brits' to buy this... it isn't much more than the exerpts and you get one (but not both of the german) shows.

>I'm off for a lemon curry... enjoy!
