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."

Esther Rolle made her debut as Florida Evans on MAUDE on this date in 1972.

John Amos was introduced as her husband soon after and the spinoff GOOD TIMES followed in Feb, 1974.
