The Circus is Coming to Town

I missed this because I was so preoccupied with Halloween but around Mid-October IFC was planning to invite the circus to their channel to celebrate it's 40th year.

Monty Python's Flying Circus

But 40 it is, commemorated by a six-part documentary, Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer's Cut) (IFC, Sunday-Friday, 9 ET/PT); a book, Monty Python Live!, which chronicles the touring days and sketches in the 1970s; and, starting Friday, a 10-day channel dedicated to Python on Sirius XM Radio. And tonight, the five surviving members — Palin, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle and Terry Jones (Graham Chapman died in 1989) — will be honored in New York City by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

Python inspires either love or hatred. You can't seem to be in the middle with their brand of comedy. I know British humour can be a bit hard to get but there are certain Python bits that make me laugh until I collapse onto the floor. So if anything celebrate their longevity and ability to influence others, HBO's Mr. Show comes to mind.

In the meantime get the ...... COMFY CHAIR!!!!!
