A warning to the uninitiated: there is much "material that some may find offensive, but which is really smashing." Violations of something called the "Strange Sketch Act" are the least of the troupe's offenses, as witness the Oscar Wilde Sketch, the Dirty Vicar Sketch, and the Most Awful Family in Britain Sketch, all of which achieve "the really gross awfulness" all Python fans are looking for. Say no more. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus Megaset
Python Fanatic's Must-Buy Yes, as other reviewers indicate, some sketches were edited from the originals and some vignettes omitted. This boxed set, however, still stands as a must-buy, considering the price and its extent. You could roll the dice on E-Bay bootlegs, but you will get what you pay for (which is usually bad). I paid less than a c-note for these DVDs, and I think that's a heck of a value. Brings back a lot of memories, to the times when I and a few other nerdy junior high school kids would watch this then-obscure BBC import on the local public TV channel. <

A Must for Fans but Best in Moderation
I remember liking Monty Python when I saw the program but I was never a regular viewer. I decided to watch the whole thing and ordered the set. Ordering it, paying for it and watching it all required effort.

>The set is magnificently done. This huge collection of disks contains all of the programs in chronological order. Each disk features 3 or 4 programs along with a few special features and trivia. This is how a set should be presented. That being said, watching it all took some effort.

<
>Many of the routines are dated but most can still produce laughs. This is especially true of some of the absurd setups and situations to say nothing of the animations. Still, I learned that the Pythons are best taken in small doses. The shows were originally broadcast over 4 seasons. I crammed them into a few months. I'm still a bit numb over the whole thing.

>This type of humor is probably an acquired taste. For those who have acquired the taste, this is an excellent set.
