I used to watch Monty Python's Flying Circus on PBS in the 70's. It came on at midnight. I have been a fan ever since. I had a small group of friends who would get together to watch. We saw M.P.& the Holy Grail in the movie theater. If you haven't seen it, be sure to watch all the way through. (Even after the credits.)

If you like M.P. be sure to catch Fawlty Towers by John Cleese. Funniest sitcom ever.

Grew up with it since '93, when I was 4. Favorite episode is Spanish Inquisition. I've seen Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and Meaning of life. It's bloody brilliant!

Oh hell yes. I even got to see one of the last showings of Spamalot in Vegas last summer. We were so pissed at my dad's wife, she spent the whole show making annoyed noises and texting.

I saw the original broadway cast in 2005 with director Mike Nichols...well, original except for Sara Ramirez. She was off that night and her replacement sang off-key, but the original guys- Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria and Christian Borle were fantastic.

Where did you see it?

love 'em! last summer I was out in Monterey CA visiting with my sisters and one brother (all younger than me). as we were heading to the beach I started singing "The Philosophers Song". Later that night at the hotel we had the tv on and there was a special about MP on and they did that song. My brother came in the room and said "thats an actual song?" "I thought you just made that up"

not quite, bro
I'm just not that clever.

and now for someone completely different..... :lol:
