(More customer reviews)Season 2 of Monty Python is truly the best of all their seasons. It was here that the boys really hit their stride. The first season, while quite good, had many moments of awkward silence from an audience that didn't quite know what to make of the anarchy before them. The show also looked cheapand many bits seemed to fall flat. In the second season, the group grew better together and came out with some of the funniest and most famous bits they ever did. The Spanish Inquisition bit is one of the most popular and is still hilarious today. The sight of them rushing on a bus to get to the studio to deliver their punchline before the credits end is classic. John Cleese as the Minister for Silly Walks is brilliant in it's lunacy. To try to introduce the group to America they re-staged some of their best sketches from Season 2 together under the title "And Now For Something Completely Different." One of my favorites from this collection (besides How Not to be Seen) is Cleese's class on How to Defend Yourself from Someone Who is Attacking You Armed with a Piece of Fresh Fruit. This set is a MUST HAVE for all Monty Python fans.

A fathomless source of profound non-sequiturs, MONTY PYTHON'SFLYING CIRCUS has supplanted Shakespeare as the British variety act most quoted bypeople who haven't actually seen the original show in the original order as it is presentedhere. In fact, MONTY PYTHON is nearly indistinguishable from Shakespeare, exceptthat the lines don't rhyme and there are very few bodkins or codpieces. There are,however, British accents and men in drag--two well-known staples of Shakespeareandrama. And most of the members of the Flying Circus are still alive, so Shakespeare cantake a hike. This six-video boxed set includes all 13 episodes from the transcendentsecond season of the FLYING CIRCUS: Face The Press--The Ministry of Silly Walks & The Piranha Brothers.The Spanish Inquisition--The Semaphore Version of "Wuthering Heights" & Man- Powered Flights.Deja Vu--A Bishop Rehearsing & Hijacked Plane (to Luton).The Buzz Aldrin Show--Architect Sketch & Words Not to be Used Again.Live From the Grill-o-Mat--Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things & CurrentAffairs.It's a Living--The Films of Mr. Dibley and Foreign Secretary.The Attila the Hun Show--Secretary of State Striptease & The Idiot in Society.Archaeology Today--Silly Vicars & Mosquito Hunters.How to Recognize Different Parts of the Body--Bruces & The Death of Mary Queen ofScots.Scott of the Antarctic--Fish License & French Subtitled Film.How Not to be Seen--Crossing the Atlantic on a Tricycle & Monty Python's FlyingCircus Again in Thirty Seconds.Spam--Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook & Hospital for Over-Actors.Royal Episode 13--How to Feed a Goldfish & Undertaker's Sketch
