In its defense, I would point out that nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

John Cleese, Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, and Terry Jones looking bemused.

MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS debuted on the BBC #OTD in 1969.

“Literally nothing was funny," TV GUIDE’s Cleveland Amory wrote when it aired on PBS in 1975. "And the less funny something was—such as a Spanish Inquisition sketch with three cardinals—the more you saw of it."

There's always fast-forwarding!

Mine doesn't either, but my aunt's does (in a neighboring town).

You're welcome. Not every library offers them, but it's very much worth checking if yours does.

A screen cap from AMC Plus of 4 Hitchcock films.

Hitchcock’s REAR WINDOW (1954), VERTIGO (1958), PSYCHO (1960) and THE BIRDS (1963) are now streaming on Shudder.

You can also watch Shudder titles on AMC+. And both offer a free 7-day trial.

Looks like REAR WINDOW and VERTIGO are SVOD exclusives. PSYCHO and THE BIRDS are also on Peacock. #FilmSky

Yes, though I don't think Libby offers movies and TV shows. All are free w/ a library card.

That was interesting. Thanks for posting.

I don't have Apple TV, but according to Kanopy's "Supported browsers and devices" page, there is an Apple TV app.

It was certainly vital to my development.

It's amazing how much the media landscape has changed, for better and for worse.

Thanks for the heads up/warning!

You have to love a 1957 TV Western w/ an anti-gun message.

From SUGARFOOT starring Will Hutchins. #TVSky #ClassicTV

I met him as well and he was very sweet.

I really appreciate how the lead character rejects the tropes of the typical Western protagonist.

Plus, it's filled with familiar faces, like all TV shows of that era, which makes it fun for classic film fans.

I met him once. He was so sweet.

Will Hutchins as Tom Brewster in SUGARFOOT says guns "Make little men big, heroes out of cowards."

"...just by moving one little finger."
