don't really understand the down votes, but I am very open to hearing why it seems to be a controversial statement. the show has some bigoted scenes and I am not defending that, obviously. I am simply talking about how I like the creative premises of the absurdist comedy

The downvotes are probably because there's no justification. If you want to say that some masterpiece from the past "hasn't aged well", you need to back that opinion with some arguments or facts.

Also the typo ("quiet" instead of "quite") and the absence of capitals at the beginning of sentences, or points at the end, give out a general impression of carelessness.

> the show has some bigoted scenes

Such as.

oh I see, I am talking about The Flying Circus, not the movie. The casual use of slurs is jarring to me personally

Still cannot remember of any bigoted use of slurs in Monty Python's work.
