a great old dvd set of the orginal British comedy team Monty Python with every episode included could not ask for a better way to spend a weekend ,, nudge nudge know what i mean ayy??
As an old Monty P fan, this box has long been on the very top of my wishlist. But in Europe it's has been way too expensive ever since it came out, so when the possibility to buy from outside europe, too a somewhat more fair price, showed itself, i jumped at it! And never regret it that is! But i must warn any future buyers of this product: If ur friends are like mine, they're gonna hang out more at ur place after the purchase of this box! And i don't know about your friend, but mine are messy ;) / :(
This is a truly remarkable set of DVDs. Monty Python on demand is just a super thing to have. The additional bonus disks of Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl is interesting, although I don't know that I'll watch it over and over. The shows though, are well worth sitting through again and again.
I bought this set for my husband for Valentines Day (though I confess it was really for both of us). It's hysterically funny, if you like this kind of humor. I have found that people either love or hate Monty Python. And I think it's because so many people don't understand the humor. But for my husband and I, it's a love affair! We once owned all of these as they were sold by the Time Life Videos, but had a theft a few years ago. All of our vast DVD collection was part of the huge amounts that were stolen. We had replaced everything else by these very funny guys, and this set completed the collection once again. We love them. We spent the first weekend after I got them having a "Python Weekend".
The item was brand new, sealed in the box, and packed well. It came quickly through the mail and the whole price was less than what it is new from Amazon. I would buy from this seller again.
Big fan on British Comedy in our house so what was not to like. Too often on television they play the same episodes over and over so this was a nice purchase. We viewed quite a few that both my husband and I have never seen! The only dislike would be that they didn't include the movies in this set..that would have been excellent! If you like Monty-it is worth the price..you may see some episodes that you haven't previously!
If you are a fan you will love it. If you are not check out the -highlighted most popular first- then you will be wanting more. British humor is very dry and off beat but it grows on you. Some items are a bit dated but with a little imagination you get it. I bought this for my daughter who is her twenties and she goes around quoting it all the time. Buy it, try it, don't like it, EBAY it!
My Son & I love Monty Pyton movies and this was a Christmas gift for him. He (we) are enjoying it emensely and are very glad we purchased it. Thank you.
I feel that this was an excellent purchase. The quality of the humor doesn't stop coming and the price was top notch. The 16-Ton Megaset is better because of the extra bonus disks availible to have and the box says it all. Over all, I love the 16-Ton Monty Python Megaset and recomend it to one and all.
I bought this for my son's birthday. He loved it. The product was great and was delivered to me very quickly. I picked this seller because of the pricing.
This Mega set is the best. It's absolutely hilariously funny. I can only recommend this set. Only the Pythons had this kind of humor,not to be found anymore nowadays.
The 16-Ton Monty Python Megaset is a must have for all Monty Python fans. I love it! I personally like the episodes concerning the military. Also, who can forget such skits as "The Spanish Inquisition" and "Dead Parrot". For those of you who are not familiar with Monty Python's Flying Circus, you don't know what you are missing!
I love Monty Python, all of those wild and crazy guys!! (and yes, that was a quote by Steve Martin, who also happens to be a huge fan). I love them all: John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam (that crazy cartoonist!), and finally Graham Chapman (he will be missed). I also LOVE the CD I have called "Monty Python SINGS?!"... it's full of those great old Monty Python tunes such as "The Lumberjack Song" (Tom Hanks' favorite), and my all-time personal favorite "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". I actually bought this 16 Ton mega CD set for my roommate, as she is the one that turned me onto the "Fab Six", and now I am hooked and there is no turning back. My Cellphone even rings to the tune of "Sit on my Face"... ok, maybe that was too much information.
This is a great product. I wish more movies and TV shows whould package their shows in one box like this. A lot of the videos are packaged in one season only. I like how Monty Python has theirs in one box. Hence a box set. I now have every episode and movie from Monty Python. I couldn't be Happier. Had a box set once before, but in the whole moving from one house to another the box set got lost and was very disapointed. Looked at surrounding stores for the set and did find it priced at around $100 and sometimes around $200. Wouldn't you know it, I found the box set on E-Bay for around $60 thats counting shiping. Couldn't bet that. Found many hard to find items on E-Bay. Nice place to find items, and fast.
Ah, the memories. Buckets of laughs. Smart, quirky comedy.
The set is produced by the well known Arts & Entertainment (A&E) Network, is nicely packaged, has easy to navigate menus & plenty of bonus material, and is a steal at little over $1 per episode.
Like several other reviewers, My wife bought this for me as a Christmas gift, knowing that I probably would never have purchased it for myself. She thinks it's goofy, but I love it, love her for getting it for me, and heartily recommend it!
I ACTUALLY RECIEVED THIS BOX SET AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT. I USED TO ALWAYS WATCH PYTHON WHEN IT WAS ON PBS. OVER THE YEARS THEY STOPPED SHOWING IT, BUT WOULD TROT IT OUT FOR THE PLEDGE DRIVE, SO YOU WOULD ONLY GET TO SEE A FEW EPISODES BEFORE IT WOULD DISAPPEAR AGAIN.NOTE (I LOVE PBS). SO MY SON PURCHASED THIS SET FOR ME NOW I CAN WATCH ANYTIME I WANT WHICH IS GREAT! IT IS HARD TO DESCRIBE PYTHON TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN IT, BUT TO A FAN THIS SET WILL BRING BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES OF WHEN YOU FIRST SEEN IT. EVERYTHING IS HERE. I GUESS MY ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE I HAVE TO GET UP TO CHANGE TO THE NEXT DISK. WISH ALL THE EPISODES FIT ON ONE DVD.
I did not buy this for me but as a christmas presen but the receiver loved it.He loved the show and watched it years ago and wished he could have copies to look back on and enjoy anytime. This was just what he wanted.
