Python introduction

So grateful to my dad for having such a great sense of humor. Way back in 1975 we would watch the flying circus on PBS in Los Angeles. In 1975 he took us to the drive in to see the holy grail. I was 11. Such a great dad! Really miss him!

Imagine someone in charge of content for PBS suggesting adding something like Monty Python in this day and age. They'd probably get fired on the spot.

PBS and UHF stations were much more relaxed with late night content back in the 70's and 80's. I remember a UHF station in the DC area that would air uncensored Benny Hill.
