Reply to comment by StrangeCitizen in TIL in the 1980s Monty Python got much of its exposure to the US through PBS, because of CBS censoring parts of "The Holy Grail" in a 1977 broadcast. This upset the comedy troupe, prompting them to withdraw the broadcast rights. by AnthillOmbudsman

If you haven't seen it, I suggest Life of Brian. It's still wacky, but more meaningful and better packaged than their tv show or other movies.

That's the first Monty Python I ever saw. I just hate absurd comedy. Monty Python, Mel Brooks, Leslie Nelson. I hate it all.
