Monty Python's Flying CircusOverviewAnd now for something completely different: Monty Python's Flying Circus was simply the most influential comedy program television has ever seen. Five Englishmen, all working under the constraints of conventional TV shows such as The Frost Report (for which the five Englishmen wrote), gathered together with an expatriate American in the spring of 1969 to break the rules. The result, first airing on BBC-1 on October 5, 1969, has influenced countless future men and women in the media and comedy since.First airedOctober 5, 1969URL slugmonty-pythons-flying-circusGenresComedyArtworkPosterBackgroundNo imageIconBannerSeasonsSpecials67 episodesSeason 113 episodesSeason 213 episodesSeason 313 episodesSeason 46 episodesCast & crewCast — Eric Idle — John Cleese — Michael Palin — Terry Jones — Graham Chapman — Terry Gilliam
