    I'm quite surprised! I didn't so many people from such a wide range of countries would like them. I would have thought it was a bit too 'wierd' for those who don't understand the humour. Of course, the films are a bit more mainstream.

    The Arguement Clinic sketch is brilliant :lol:

    When I was a kid, PBS (Public Television) showed Monty Python late at night. When my parents went to sleep, I'd sneak downstairs and watch Benny Hill & Monty Python. Python was my favorite!!

    I also have to thank PBS for getting me into Doctor Who. Although, it was the theme song that hooked me!

    I have only seen about 10% of the TV sketches and never saw (or remember) anything that is just 'it's...'

    Monty Python is really the biggest thing that Britain has ever given to the USA in the way of comedy.

    well Barmy, given your comment was about the argument clinic and its brilliance, I reckon Tal implies "It's not" - but just for the sake of argument ;)

    "It's" is from most, if not all, the beginnings of the Monty Python show. Usually, it's Michael Palin dressed as a ragged old man who runs up to the screen and says... "It's..."

    Then the Monty Python music starts and so does the show...Good stuff!!

    Yeah, I remember that whole "It's" thing. It was how they introduced the show. Palin always seemed to be about to keel over. It's..........

    Spamalot was hilarious, if anyone else saw it... it was better than the movie, and it had some references to their other works.
