Monty Python's Flying Circus
Monty Python's Flying Circus is actually just a sketch comedy series made by the comedy group Monty Python and broadcast by the BBC from 1969 to 1974.

The first episode was recorded on 7 September and broadcast 5 October 1969 on BBC One, together with 4 5 episodes airing over four series from 1969 to 1974, plus two episodes to German television.
The show frequently targets the idiosyncrasies of life, notably that of professionals, and are sometimes sexually charged. The members of Monty Python were educated. Terry Jones and Michael Palin are Oxford University graduates. John Cleese, eric Idle, and Graham Chapman attended Cambridge University. And manhood Terry Gilliam can be an Occidental College grad. Their humor is frequently pointedly intellectual to philosophers and literary figures. The series followed and elaborated up on the style used by Spike Milligan in his groundbreaking series Q5, as opposed to the conventional show format. The team planned their humor to be more impossible to categorise, and succeeded so completely the"Pythonesque" was invented to define it and, later, identical material.
