Extremely disappointing! Not only is there a VERY annoying "faux" television set illustration surrounding each and EVERY scene on the disc (a phenomena I can find NO logical explanation for), but some (all?) of my "personal" favorite bits are no where to be seen. Could Terry really want to leave out the Piranha Bros.? And what about those chaps with the rubber knees!? When I first heard about this disc I thought, "finally...a collection of this brilliant animation, all together in one place!" It is not the case. Perhaps some one other than Gilliam, madly brilliant as he is, should take on the task of doing the collection. I was not expecting to be left wanting more. I found my self rather annoyed at the end of the disc, and that is a very big shame.

Having bought this as a part of the box set of Personal Best disks because I saw that it listed a particular sketch I wanted, I was very disappointed to find out that there are only small portions of many of the sketches.
For example, every disk in its intro, references the Argument Clinic sketch, BUT, the sketch is never shown! There are a few seconds of the lead in to the sketch but not the argument itself!
