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."

    Sadly, monty python doesn't stand the test of time ... it is a shame that people are going to tune with fond memories and good intentions but won't laugh at all. Nostalgia only goes so far.

    I am both sickened and disgusted that these are being aired first by an American station. Die fuckers die.
