The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus; All the Words Volume One

27 reviews
Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, ...

Pantheon, 1989

I laughed until I stopped
As a fan of MPFC since it first aired on PBS in 1973, these two volumes sort of put a cap on a 30 year fascination with the team. Maybe like me, you've watched every Python-Marathon or taped every show, but having these scripts really is the icing on the cake. What's striking to me is the simplicity of the scripts. When you watch the episodes, the gags seem so complicated. Then to see The Dead ...

Monty Python's Flying Circus: Greatest Skits

Monty Python

BBC Audiobooks America, 2007

And now for something completely different ..........
This is a very funny collection of material from our friends in the UK. I highly recommend that you play this CD on the way to work in the morning, to give you a non-caffeine "lift".

The Pythons: Autobiography

28 reviews
The Pythons, Graham Chapman, ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2005

depressing
This is probably the most accurate history of the Monty Python television program and films. It reveals the impressing background of the players and their problems in working together which resulted in their dispersing and ill will with each other.

Monty Python's Big Red Book

4 reviews
Graham Chapman, Monty Python, ...

Methuen Publishing Ltd, 1984

thin python is better than no python
It isn't huge. It's laced with themes from the tv shows. But there are opportunities unique to the form: ACCEPT ANY 3 of these great classics entirely FREE as your introduction to the THE PYTHON GUILD and you get one free tub of dung (tick if required). Need I say more?

The Greedy Bastard Diary: A Comic Tour of America
Eric Idle

Harper Paperbacks, 2006

A stunningly witty exploration of the American landscape -- not to mention a brilliant comic's mind -- this diary is chock-full of everything you ever wanted to know about Eric Idle, Monty Python, America, and sleeping on a bus. In these pages, the sixth-nicest Python is cheeky, touching, and funny when recounting the riotous tales of his beginnings, his affectionate reminiscences of his fellow Pythons, traveling the world, and taking us ...

The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus : All the Words, Volume 2

9 reviews
Monty Python, Graham Chapman, ...

Pantheon, 1989

The goat's done a bundle
FYI-This is the same as the review of Volume 1. There was no real sense in distinguishing the two. As a fan of MPFC since it first aired on PBS in 1973, these two volumes sort of put a cap on a 30 year fascination with the team. Maybe like me, you've watched every Python-Marathon or taped every show, but having these scripts really is the icing on the cake. What's striking to me is the ...

Roald Dahl

just right
it was just as advertised, in good shape and I was interested to read the original. There are some interesting differences from the original story and the original movie...

The Secret Life of Cows

6 reviews
Glen Wexler

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2007

Cowabunga Mooed
Glen Wexler sees things a bit differently than the rest of us....and thank god for that. Glen's work has always been discribed as 'visionary.' As in, have you seen Glen's 'visionary' Van Halen Album cover? In "The Secret Life of Cows" he harnesses his 'visionary' powers to bring out only the very best in bovine humor. If you don't smile, laugh out loud or even snort milk out of your nose when you ...

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator CD

Roald Dahl

HarperChildrensAudio, 2004

A Masterpiece
I recommend this audio CD 110%, for people of all ages. There is none better than Eric Idle, and he does supremely with this particular item. His voice, his narration, and his actions through words really bring Roald Dahl's book to life. It is highly enjoyable, as well as hilarious.

The Greedy Bastard Diary: A Comic Tour of America

Eric Idle

HarperEntertainment, 2005

A Surprising Gem
Well, I picked up this book expecting a fast, pithy read from one of the great comics of recent memory. I also expected that he would focus on his annoyance with America (which he does to some extent) and his interactions with the audience. Sure, he does give one some observations, however I was more impressed by this book than I ever expected to be. That's why I am writing this review, dear ...

Monty Python's Tunisian Holiday: My Life with Brian
Kim Howard Johnson

Thomas Dunne Books, 2008

?One of the finest and most accurate records of the making of the film that I have ever read. I just wished I could remember what actually went on then.? --Terry Jones ?If anyone can remember more about making the Life of Brian than me, it?s Kim ?Howard? Johnson. He came, he saw, he got into costume. While the rest of us were fighting to upstage each other, Howard had a notebook hidden in his toga.? --Michael Palin ?Since I?ve forgotten ...

The Road to Mars

64 reviews
Eric Idle

Vintage, 2001

Sci-fi fun!
A cross between Monty Python and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Engaging story. Great characters. And some truly insightful thinking about the roots of comedy. Wonderful. Highly Recommended.

Monty Python's Spamalot: 2005 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical (Easy Piano Vocal Selections)

1 review

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2006

Great book
We enjoyed the musical Spamalot so much that my son wanted to get the music for the songs. This was the ideal entry book for him as it contained the melody in the music and wasn't just an accompaniment.
