My children grew up with our fond memories of the show and the movies, and now they're watching the originals and are just as hooked. <br /><br />We saw John Cleese, Terry Moore and Terry Gilliam on Keith Oberman's show the other night - they ruled the interview. Apparently Terry Moore's son has made a 6 hour documentary about the Pythons (perhaps what y'all were mentioning above?) - I will definitely look forward to seeing that. <br /><br />They are still tops when it comes to my favorite comedians. I'll have to get the new issue of Fawlty Towers. The kids haven't seen it - it'll be fun to share the hilarity.redravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-51688135989482006872009-10-28T14:30:33.838-04:002009-10-28T14:30:33.838-04:00You grew up?
