Comcast On Demand - ATL365 Recommends  Monty Python: Almost The Truth
For those of you with IFC, I recommend checking out the six-part documentary on the influential, irreverant and ground breaking comedy troupe known as Monty Python. Creating memorable comedy sketches and films that were hilarious, scathing satires of British life and human absurdity, Python forever altered the comedic landscape of the UK and the United States. The Beatles conquered America with music, Python did it with dead parrots and dressing in drag.
