On air as television it was 1974, and the movies came there after.

I highly recommend picking up the DVDs of MPFC, or just renting them from Netflix. MP wrote some of the best comedy sketches EVER! One caveat, if you do not understand British culture before the 1980s, you'll have a hard time getting some of the jokes.
Pot helps.
I don't like to endorse illicit drug use.
BUT...I don't like to lie either!

For instance, if you don't understand why David Thomas (Graham Chapman) doesn't just tell the interviewer (John Cleese) to f**k off and walk out after the first minute, the sketch will still be funny, but you won't grasp the deeper comment on British character.

I agree that some of the sketches are fantastic. But I also think there is a lot of dross amongst the gems.

The same here, I find that now I laugh more at remember the MPFC sketches than watching them.
