Go back and see the gents who revolutionized comedy.
Monty Python was a murderers row of comedic geniuses who came together in 1969 to create Flying Circus, a sketch show that pushed the boundaries of TV. In the same way The Beatles changed music forever, Python changed comedy.
Remember the silly walks, the dead parrots, and more of the greatest moments from the Pythons.
