I've been searching for this series ever since I saw it back in the 70s. It was very similar to Monty Python before there was a Monty Python, it even had Terry Gilliam animation and the great Spike Milligan of the Goons. I noticed on networkonair.com they have the complete series slated for release in January of 2016. I can't wait!

Python predates this by two years.

He's almost certainly talking about USA airdates rather than the original UK ones. PBS stations didn't start running Flying Circus until 1974 when it premiered on KERA, Dallas, TX.

Yessir. I remember a couple of sketches from this series to this day... one involved Marty Feldman as an undertaker, and in another he was a lion tamer at a vet's office with his lion in a big wicker box. I don't even remember the jokes any more, but I remember as a kid laughing my rear end off.

Thank you for posting this. I have a very vague memory of my adult relatives watching this during some holiday gathering when I a kid, I only caught a glimpse, but was very intrigued... will definitely order it.
