Title: Not all that great
Review: Boring. Unfunny. Actually irritating to watch. Which I guess makes it a brilliant meta-comedy...No. It's boring, unfunny, and irritating to watch. The second half is a bit better. There are several pieces which were later re-used in Monty Python -- some vastly reworked (Groveling Waiter, Quiz Show), some recreated almost verbatim (Job Interview). At least one sketch (Discussion Show) was reprised from "At Last the 1948 Show," which Cleese, Chapman and Brooke-Taylor had done (with Marty Feldman) the year before.As a glimpse of the Pythons just before they became Pythons, it is moderately interesting. As a piece of entertainment, it's not.
