Monty Python's Flying Circus: Set 1, Episodes 1-6 Reviews
The Best Show Ever
The first half of the first season of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" has some of the best Python episodes ever. I especially liked Episode 3 ("How to Recognize Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away") and Episode 4 ("Owl Stretching Time"). While not quite as polished as some of the later episodes, it was all equally funny.
The DVD set looks slightly better than the videos released in 1989 by Paramount. The filmed, location sequences look pretty grainy, but that's how they've always looked. With every episode, there is an opprotunity to jump straight to the sketches, or to read a tidbit.
On the extras front, there's a clip from "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl," scenes from other TV episodes, biographies, Pythonisms, a weblink, trivia games, and the always excellent Gilliamnations art gallery.
A little pricey, but hey, it's Monty Python
Picture and sound quality shouldn't be the reason you are buying this set. The number of episodes per disc (3) is a bit on the lean side as well. But, if you are a python fan, these sets finally offer a way for the fans to have all the tv episodes in a medium that will not deteriorate over time. I'm not going to trifle with reviewing the comedy of Monty Python, because if you consider buying this dvd you should already know what they are about. 4 stars because of the sound/video and small number of episodes per disc.
