Most people say "Monty Python" when they mean the troupe, and "Flying Circus" when they mean the show. Which is an interesting distinction, because, if you put together the story of how they came up with the name, they didn't really intend for "Monty Python" to be the name of their troupe.

I was so pissed NBC cut to commercial just as the they were getting to the segment scored to "Pretty Vacant." Now I'll never know how Boyle decided to punctuate the show with "and WE DON'T CAAAAAAARE"

I'm sorry, but Gomie totally fucked up Mike's interrogation. You know he's an ex-cop, and you try to pull the "we have a guy who already gave you up" trick? Gomie is such a schmuck.
