Went to see "An Evening with John Cleese" tonight in Napa Valley with the wife and kid, and he said this was his best selling t-shirt on his concert tour. I really enjoyed the show, which he has apparently been doing for a while now, consisting of stories and clips (but only one short one from the Circus (Fish Slapping Dance, which he says all surviving cast members have said is their favorite bit). One of the cooler parts was a clip from an early show with Marty Feldman, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Graham Chapman (I did not remember the name from the show tonight, but looking it up I see it was "At Last the 1948 Show"). He said the David Frost people had erased all of the masters, but someone in Scandinavia found 6 copies in a vault somewhere and sent them to him. Of course he had an extended bit about Chapman, including the back story and clip of his remarks at Graham's memorial.
It was a little bit like sitting at a computer watching youtube clips with John Cleese, but still very cool. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
