PBS To Air Six New Monty Python Specials

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pining-for-the-fjords dept.

Freshly Exhumed wrote to mention a PBS release with good news for BritCom Fans. The Public Broadcasting Service is planning to air six new Monty Python specials. From the article: "Each of the exclusive-to-PBS six one-hour programs will focus on one member of the original Monty Python troupe - Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones - and showcase favorite clips from the group's television series and movies, mixed with new footage. The five living Pythons - Cleese, Idle, Gilliam, Palin and Jones - will each produce and write their own episode, with the five collaborating on a sixth special to honor deceased member Chapman."

    Oh boy! Now, I'm going to have to listen to people playing all the sketches over and over and over again! by themselves! It's MONTY MASTURBATION!

    At work once, this guy just started off, playing all of the characters himself, doing a Monty Python sketch. It's not funny and quite annoying. Because, you're NOT FUNNY! The PYTHON BOYS ARE!!

    ear plugs! That's what I need!
