Monty Python (also collectively known as The Pythons) were a British surreal comedy group who created their sketch comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus, which first aired on the BBC in 1969. Forty-five episodes were made over four series. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and impact, including touring stage shows, films, numerous albums, several books, and musicals. The Pythons' influence on comedy has been compared to the Beatles' influence on music.

Having considered the possibility at the end of the second season, Cleese left the Flying Circus at the end of the third. He later explained that he felt he no longer had anything fresh to offer the show, and claimed that only two Cleese- and Chapman-penned sketches in the third series ("Dennis Moore" and the "Cheese Shop") were truly original, and that the others were bits and pieces from previous work cobbled together in slightly different contexts. He was also finding Chapman, who was at that point in the full throes of alcoholism, difficult to work with. According to an interview with Idle, "It was on an Air Canada flight on the way to Toronto, when John (Cleese) turned to all of us and said 'I want out.' Why? I don't know. He gets bored more easily than the rest of us. He's a difficult man, not easy to be friendly with. He's so funny because he never wanted to be liked. That gives him a certain fascinating, arrogant freedom."  The rest of the group carried on for one more "half" season before calling a halt to the programme in 1974. The name Monty Python's Flying Circus appears in the opening animation for season four, but in the end credits, the show is listed as simply "Monty Python". Although Cleese left the show, he was credited as a writer for three of the six episodes, largely concentrated in the "Michael Ellis" episode, which had begun life as one of the many drafts of the "Holy Grail" motion picture. When a new direction for "Grail" was decided upon, the subplot of Arthur and his knights wandering around a strange department store in modern times was lifted out and recycled as the aforementioned TV episode.  While the first three seasons contained 13 episodes each, the fourth ended after just six. Extremely keen to keep the now massively popular show going, the BBC had offered the troupe a full 13 episodes, but the truncated troupe (now under the unspoken 'leadership' of Terry Jones) had come to a common agreement while writing the fourth series that there was only enough material, and more importantly only enough enthusiasm, to shoot the six that were made.

Monty Python (även kollektivt känd som The Pythons) var en brittisk surrealistisk komedigrupp som skapade sin sketchkomedishow Monty Python's Flying Circus, som först sändes på BBC 1969. Fyrtiofem avsnitt gjordes över fyra serier. Fenomenet Python utvecklades från TV-serien till något större i omfattning och genomslag, bland annat turnerande scenshower, filmer, talrika album, flera böcker, och musikaler. Pythonernas inflytande på komedin har jämförts med Beatles inflytande på musiken. Efter att ha övervägt möjligheten i slutet av den andra säsongen lämnade Cleese Flying Circus i slutet av den tredje. Han förklarade senare att han inte längre hade något färskt att erbjuda showen, och hävdade att endast två Cleese- och Chapman-penned sketcher i den tredje serien ("Dennis Moore" och "Cheese Shop") verkligen var originella, och att de andra var bits och bitar från tidigare verk kullerbytta ihop i något olika sammanhang. Han höll också på att finna Chapman, som vid den tidpunkten befann sig i alkoholismens fulla skaror, svårarbetad. Enligt en intervju med Idle, "Det var på en Air Canada flyg på väg till Toronto, när John (Cleese) vände sig till oss alla och sa 'Jag vill ut.' Varför? Jag vet inte. Han blir lättare uttråkad än vi andra. Han är en svår man, inte lätt att vara vän med. Han är så rolig för att han aldrig ville bli omtyckt. Det ger honom en viss fascinerande, arrogant frihet." Resten av gruppen fortsatte under ytterligare en "halv" säsong innan man 1974 satte stopp för programmet. Namnet Monty Python's Flying Circus förekommer i öppningsanimeringen för säsong fyra, men i slutcitaten listas showen som helt enkelt "Monty Python". Trots att Cleese lämnade showen krediterades han som författare för tre av de sex avsnitten, till stor del koncentrerade till avsnittet "Michael Ellis" som hade börjat livet som ett av de många utkasten till "Heliga Graal"-filmen. När en ny riktning för "Grail" bestämdes lyftes subploten av Arthur och hans riddare som vandrade runt i ett märkligt varuhus i modern tid ut och återanvändes som det tidigare nämnda TV-avsnittet. Medan de tre första säsongerna innehöll 13 avsnitt vardera, slutade den fjärde efter bara sex. Extremt angelägen om att hålla igång den nu massivt populära showen hade BBC erbjudit truppen hela 13 avsnitt, men den trunkerade truppen (numera under Terry Jones outtalade "ledarskap") hade kommit fram till en gemensam överenskommelse samtidigt som de skrev den fjärde serien att det bara fanns tillräckligt med material, och viktigare bara tillräckligt med entusiasm, för att skjuta de sex som gjordes.
