Monty Python returns to PBS

When I first started to really watch Monty Python in high school, it wasn't as if the iconic British comedy group was new to me. Like many Americans, my local PBS station ran episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus in the 70s and 80s, but dry British wit peppered with the occasional flight of utter absurdity only confused my brain, so but a small hazy recollection remained until years later. Well, now American youngsters can become confused all over again, because PBS is making all forty-five episodes available to its stations starting next year. Also on tap for next year is a series of specials each focusing on one of the troupe members titled Monty Python's Personal Best.
