Monty Python Live Reviews
How are the German episode & "Parrot" live?
A&E mishandles the Python once again. It's great to put together Hollywood Bowl and the Aspen reunion show to constitute a "live" title, but the German episode (which should have been on the lacking Life Of Python disc 2) and "Parrot" shouldn't even be on this set. Some Secret Policemen's Ball bits would have been more appropriate, but I'm sure there's a rights issue there. As for "Parrot": is it worth paying 2-disc price for clips you've seen and a 5-second gag of all 6 pythons from 1989? A&E should have taken the redundant clips off their Complete Series discs and just added the original bits from "Parrot." Oh well, I still bought it all anyway.
Not Much Info On This Title Yet...
But I ordered it anyway & the rating is based on what it appear to be -- from the artwork, a combination of the Live At The Hollywood Bowl film and the reunion at the Aspen Denver Comedy Fest of a few years back. Should be pretty worthwhile - have always enjoyed the Bowl film simply for the greatest hits of the Flying Circus combined with the energy and audience interaction of the live show. Hopefully we'll get some interesting extras as well! The reunion will be interesting to see, as I missed it at the time, but always enjoyed Cleese's statement that "There
will be no Monty Python reunion as long as Graham Chapman insists on remaining dead."
The manufacturer's site says it also includes the The original 1972 MONTY PYTHON'S FLIEGENDER ZIRKUS #1 "lost" German episode, not seen since its original airing in West Germany. In German with English subtitles. As well as 20 YEARS OF PYTHON: PARROT SKETCH NOT INCLUDED, a special hosted by Steve Martin. Huzzah!
