My intro to Python was via records. My sister had a vinyl recording of a bunch of the first TV sketches specially reworked for audio, which I remember not being very funny. A skit about Nazi leader’s ineffectually hiding out in a Devonshire hotel just went on and on and on.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure I first heard rather than saw them. Wasn’t there a radio 1 show that just played old sketches or something? I do think that spending our childhood being told how good they were and never being able to see it just meant they could only ever be an anticlimax
I think you are a bit harsh. I remember being allowed to watch it past my bedtime as a treat. The w hole family would gather round the telly and watch. I loved laughing with my parents and siblings at the absurdist humour.
Perhaps by the time it got to your age it was boring through repetition.
Ah, maybe. I think I definitely can across python on record or radio compilations first, before I ever saw the TV. Mind you, we were possibly being a bit e harsh for rhetoric effect, too. It is still mostly very funny, after all - which is rare for a sketch show. Maybe a rewatch is in order. After ‘Ripping Yarns’, of course.

Python aren't boomers, they're older.
