• Watching the TV series for the fourth time

    I bought the TV series on DVD a while back, and I'm currently on the
    fourth review of it. One favorite (apart from the obvious ones) is the
    "Silly Job Interview." Perfectly cast with John as the ill-willed
    interviewer only out to poke fun at the poor guy who just trying to get a
    job; who was skillfully played by Graham Chapman. John's antics with the little bell and the "good night, di-ding-ding-ding." That and the
    Frenchmen lecturing us about the Flying Sheep thing, oh, my. :)

    I recall watching the series on TV over here when it was fairly new, not
    long after the series started airing in its homeland. It started on
    Swedish TV in 1969, according to some sources, so it must have been back
    then. Of course, being very young at the time, I couldn't understand most
    of it, but some stuff was fun to watch even then. I remember the It's man,
    as well as the Fish Slapping Dance, and some other sketches, but much is
    also lost in time.

    What is everybody else's first and present memory of the dear old Monty sketches?

    I think that it was either the Spanish Inquisition or the Crunchy
    Frog. It was on TV here on Sunday night and on Monday morning we would
    wait for the school bus and do some of the routines and laugh a lot!!


    The first time I tuned into MPFC I happened to catch the Argument
    sketch. It damned near ruined everything else for me! The Argument and
    the Parrot are still my two favorite sketches.
