Did they drop Graham Chapman’s ashes again?
I’m not dead ,yet. I’m getin’ better!
Growing up - every Sunday night was reserved for Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Dad’s Army. Nothing funnier then, and nothing funnier now.
Seeing the Pythons without Graham is like seeing the Beatles without John.
One of my earliest tv memories was staying up late with my older brothers on the weekends and watching Monty Python. I’m sure at least half of it flew right over my head, but I caught enough that I would be doubled over with laughter most of the time.
I also liked Benny Hill and Dave Allen At Large, though I didn’t “get” Allen at all until I was a bit older. Also remember another comedy show on around the same time as Python called The Goodies. Much more slapstick and juvenile compared to MP IIRC, but I still laughed.
One theater sold out well in advance (I learned of it last week and bought tickets online from a second theater, different chain). The theater took awhile to fill up but by showtime it was mostly sold.
There seemed to be some sound jitter (brief snips pausing) during the pre-show and even the opening fanfare but by the time their performance began, things were good.
Also, only the front channel sound was on (fairly low) in the theater. Diminished the power of the songs/music and would’ve had me straining even more to hear the dialogue if I’d been seated any farther back (I was at the front third mark).
I did NOT get this pre-show, by the way.
And from the name of it “One down, five to go” I was under the impression that this was one of the farewell shows they were doing.
So this WAS the final act?
Going wed night in San Marcos CA.
No one to go with.
The only person I ever watched MP with was an hold girlfriend in Sacramento. She got it.
