Monty Python's Flying Circus

A British sketch comedy series with the shows being composed of surreality, risqué or innuendo-laden humor, sight gags and observational sketches without punchlines.

Very possibly the most tragic waste of Oxbridge educations ever broadcast. The program that made all of America sit up and say: "what?"

That put SPAM back in the national pantry, launched cross-dressing as a national craze, and made Rene Descartes a household name. Now it's back in its original order — all the episodes of the premiere season... as if that had any empirical value whatsoever.
