Personal Best?? Who decides?, March 7, 2010
This review is from: Monty Python's Personal Best Six-Pack (DVD)
When the original single Personal Best DVDs were first released a few years ago, I immediately snapped up the discs of my two favorite Pythons, Inspector Harry "Snapper" Organs, and Gordon Ottershaw. I watched one, and was thoroughly underwhelmed....since I already had owned the Complete Python both in VHS and later, DVD, I hoped for some new insight, maybe Pontius Pilate and Mr Creosote giving their own cosmic views on what they considered their best. No such luck. These are all just re-hashes, with no personal views at all, so here's another marketing ploy by Eric Idle Global Enterprises to wrest more hard-earned cash from the loyal followers of Python.
Your Pythonic addiction would be better served by buying
The Complete Ripping Yarns, although I would highly recommend buying the Region 2 set from AmazonUK for one extremely important reason: no stupid, self congratulatory promos for the A & E Network or BBC America. (By the way, don't let the Region 2 thing put you off: it's surprisingly easy to hack a US DVD player into submission, enabling you to watch all sorts of great British programming not available in the US)
Now I have to decide: what's a better deal, a new copy of this Personal Best set for $39.99, or the used copy for $149.99? Whoever the Marketplace seller is that thinks they can rip someone off for that much, all I can say is "What a silly bunt!"

Monty Python Personal Best, January 4, 2007
This review is from: Monty Python's Personal Best Six-Pack (DVD)
The old routines have lost nothing. They are still great. The personal comments of the men makes it all much more hilarious. You've got to be a fan to appreciate this stuff.
