And Now For Something Completely Different

Irreverent, ridiculous, always innovative, occasionally revolting, and sometimes downright silly, Monty Python redefined television comedy.

Starting as a wacky comedy sketch on British television, Monty Python became a cultural phenomenon spawning stage shows, films, albums, books, even a musical! Broadcast on the BBC from 1969 to 1974, the show pushed the boundaries of comedy -- and sometimes good taste -- using a stream-of-consciousness style that changed the face of sketch comedy. Linking a series of disparate sketches with surreal cartoons and graphics, the Pythons created an aura of irreverent chaos. The Python's bizarre brand of humor achieved cult status early on and continues to draw new audiences through the miracle of cable station reruns.
