Monty Python's Flying Circus (disambiguation)
Monty Python's Flying Circus is a British comedy sketch television series originally broadcast by the BBC between 1969 and 1974.
Underground comix
Film and television began to reflect the influence of underground comix in the 1970s, starting with the release of Ralph Bakshi's film adaptation of Crumb's "Fritz the Cat", the first animated film to receive an X rating from the MPAA. Further adult-oriented animated films influenced by underground comix followed, including "The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat" and "Down and Dirty Duck". The influence of underground comix has also been attributed to films such as "The Lord of the Rings" (1978) and "Forbidden Zone" (1980). The popularity of "Monty Python's Flying Circus", which featured the animation of "Help!" contributor Terry Gilliam, has also been attributed to the prominence of the underground comix scene.
