Cast of 'Monty Python' (© Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images)(1969) BBC-TV premieres something completely different
Five Brits and one American write and star in the BBC's new sketch comedy show, 'Monty Python's Flying Circus.' Their particular brand of silly, surreal mayhem will change the comedy landscape over 45 episodes that at first garner a cult following before achieving worldwide fame.
And now for something completely different: Monty Python's Flying Circus was simply the most influential comedy program television has ever seen. Five Englishmen, all working under the constraints of conventional TV shows such as The Frost Report (for which the five Englishmen wrote), gathered together with an expatriate American in the spring of 1969 to break the rules. The result, first airing on BBC-1 on October 5, 1969, has influenced countless future men and women in the media and comedy since.
First episode: Oct 05, 1969
Episode duration: 30 minutes
Creator: Monty Python
Theme song: The Liberty Bell
Producer: Ian MacNaughton
Awards: BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award · British Academy Television Award for Best Entertainment Programme · British Academy Television Award - General Category

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
