Video, Monty Python's 40 years of silliness. (movies, on tv, episodes, New York)

[JD59]

New York (CNN) -- It's been a Monty Python world lately -- and we're not even talking about the absurdity and silliness of current events, such as balloon boys and confessional celebrities.

No, it's a Python world on TV, with the lads being showcased in a multipart IFC documentary -- which started this week -- and re-airing of their classic TV episodes and movies.

I've always been a huge fan of Brit-coms!

Sadly, when I re-watch Python, it's not that funny to me anymore. I have a few dvds of theirs and I am a fan but, I don't know...

First season is disjointed, but teh second is where it picks up. Third is funny too, and 4th is where they are starting to burn out.

The things that made them funny were their intelligence and their difference from what was out there.

We are so used to unusual now, it does not strike us as weird to see a grown man in a diaper or walking along the street kicking their legs up in the air.

The political humor and reference is also stripped, leaving not much more than Fish Slapping and Spam.......


(Which I still like, mind you... )

love it! I DVR'd all the specials last week. I've watched 2 so far.

I can't believe I pay almost 200.00 a month to TWC and don't get IFC! Boo!
