There are other British comedy shows that kept the ball rolling, there were never as popular in America.

Probably the leader in surrealistic humor along the lines of Monty Python is ‘A Bit of Fry & Laurie’, with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. (IMDb rating 8.5)

Then there is the “abrasive madcap” shows like ‘The Young Ones’ and ‘Bottom’.

Television show takeoffs like ‘Brass Eye’, ‘The Day Today’, ‘The Fast Show’.

There are so many more.

I seem to recall that some of the Pythons were writers for some of the earlier shows, but I could be wrong.

One in particular had a really strange band that played.
