Product Description
Product Description
Talk about the full monty"Monty Python's Flying Circus", that is: A boxed set of 14 DVDs containing all the cerebral wit, slapstick, silly walks, and naughty bits that have made this series a comic classic. Making the deal even sweeter are these DVD extras: Meet the Chaps, a Pythonisms Glossary, Gillianimations Art Gallery, Troupe Career Highlights, trivia, web links, and more. About 24 hours 40 min. on 14 DVDs or 21 cassettes. Also available: "Seasons I-IV." Each is 13 episodes, 6-1/2 hours on 4 DVDs or 6 cassettes. Web Extra: If "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" had been a failure, the Pythons were prepared to split up. Though disputed by the group, it's said that Michael Palin is the "nice Python"Eric Idle is the "sixth nicest Python.".

While more cautious fans may want to pick and choose among the previously released individual volumes of Monty Python for their collection, true Pythonites will want to own this definitive, 14-volume DVD-only boxed set that contains all 45 episodes (in chronological order) of Monty Python's Flying Circus. This "persistently silly" collection encompasses three-and-a-half seasons of dead parrots, cross-dressing lumberjacks, loonies, upper class twits, and spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, and spam. Click past the occasional clunker and go directly to such signature sketches as the Ministry of Silly Walks, the Spanish Inquisition, the Fish-Slapping Dance, the Dead Parrot Sketch, the Lumberjack Song, the Cheese Shop, the Argument Clinic, and Nudge, Nudge. Taken as a whole, one marvels at how Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam thoroughly subverted television convention with "something completely different," like sketches with no punch lines ("Your average TV viewer isn't going to understand this").
A warning to the uninitiated: there is much "material that some may find offensive, but which is really smashing." Violations of something called the "Strange Sketch Act" are the least of the troupe's offenses, as witness the Oscar Wilde Sketch, the Dirty Vicar Sketch, and the Most Awful Family in Britain Sketch, all of which achieve "the really gross awfulness" all Python fans are looking for. Say no more. --Donald Liebenson

Society,shot it up,turned it upside down,flattened it and called it Mr.Gumby!!
What on the surface seems a simple enough point about the troupe but usually goes unnoticed today is their original appeal and impact.Python came out of the 60s rebellious era and while that trait alone wasn't surprising what was was their own nationality(British),their feigned attempts at portraying themselves as part of that staid and stuffy society all the while taking stabs at every English sacred cow and then some such as the police,the armed forces,the BBC,war vets,etc. which made it definitely "something completely different"! There has never been a program like it before or since.
Each program was filled with several sketches tied together more or less with animated segments by Terry Gilliam,the only Yank in the group.
Having watched the entire set with it's 16 DVDs I was favourably impressed by the quality of the transfers.They are pretty sharp and crisp.The only disappointment is the "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" film.The film is not in good condition and the colour is quite washed out.It is a full screen version and I wonder since some of the credits disappear off the screen that there isn't a widescreen version out there,hopefully in better condition than this.Time will tell.
I also noted that the sketches "Proust","Bruce" and "Biggles" have some quick moments that have slight cuts/jumps in them.I know the BBC is responsible for the first one but the other two I'm not sure of the who or why.There may be others but those are the three I noticed off hand.One will also notice that there are some film glitches and other various defects.From what I can determine these are things that are inherent in the original film and there's nothing that really can be done to excise them.
All 16 discs come in their own thin slip cases and are one sided(less chance of scratching!).Each DVD interactive menu if quite neat and each has its' own trivia spot about the particular ep you're watching and some neat special features including trivia question contests and more.There are alas no interviews with the cast mano a'mano but the 'Live at Aspen' DVD makes up a little for this.
Overall this is a set every Monty Python fan should own or a lover of good comedy.If you're one of the politically correct crowd I wouldn't advise you to buy this set as the guys leave NO stones unturned in their comedic efforts to offend and delight us all at the same time.It's a set I will certainly be watching again and again and you will too.

Im Ernst, ein absolutes „Must have“ für diejenigen, die es in den siebzigern wöchentlich im Fernsehen herbeigefiebert haben, qualitativ hervorragend gemacht diese Collection!!!
Quel voyage en Absurdie !!! Quel délice de regarder les débilités et les non-sens de ces génies de la création et du jeu d'acteur !!!
Le coffret est certes un import hollandais, mais le principal est que la VOST soit disponible.
Par contre, le fait qu'Amazon le livre dans une simple enveloppe à bulles est désagréable au plus haut point
a) La impresión de discos y cajas está completamente en alemán (aunque los menús y subtítulos sí están en castellano)
b) No hay opción de "reproducir todo". Cuando acabas un episodio ojo con quedarte dormido o estar lejos de la TV porque comienza a sonar el bucle muy corto que es el menú del dvd. Para volverse tarumba.
Por lo demás, una maravilla. La colección completa de esta fantástica serie de la BBC con el mejor humor del grupo cómico Monty Python. En el menú se ha dividido cada capítulo en los diferentes sketches que lo componen para hilar más fino en las búsquedas.
La calidad de imagen y sonido es la que se puede esperar de una serie de mediados del siglo pasado. El DVD ni la mejora ni la empeora.

特に紙製ケースや紙製のインナーケースは破れが多いです。
今後もUS直送の中古品を購入するつもりですが、日本の中古品の「可」レベルしか期待できないと今回悟りました。
それでも、安価でコンプリートセットをゲットできるのはうれしい。
こちら、映像はTVサイズでかつリマスターでもなく、テレビで見るよりも酷い状態ですが、内容がそれを凌駕してます。
いい買い物でした!
