i love python (got the boxset a few years back and really ought to get it out for another viewing)...
...closet thing to Monty Python i've seen that is post Python is Absolutely (not Absolutely Fabulous):
http://en.wikipedia....tely_%28TV_series%29 also available as a boxset (after a long running petition by the fans finally had their way). it's surreal, sometimes just odd and unfunny, but also very clever and uncompromising - and funny. i think we've mentioned the show on the forum before and, like Python, you can see how it influenced (and sometimes was blatantly ripped off by) a generation of shows/comedians that came after it.
