Forty years ago today – October 5, 1969 – Monty Python’s Flying Circus debuted on Britain’s BBC One!
Of course, the Python guys were already known in British comedy circles before Flying Circus. Nevertheless, the show became an icon of TV history, spun-off four hilarious movies, and made worldwide stars of John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam and Graham Chapman (R.I.P.).
God bless, guys! Thanks for being so funny!
