Reply to comment by SirHerald in TIL in the 1980s Monty Python got much of its exposure to the US through PBS, because of CBS censoring parts of "The Holy Grail" in a 1977 broadcast. This upset the comedy troupe, prompting them to withdraw the broadcast rights. by AnthillOmbudsman

You knew and talked to lots of people about their decision to rent an uncensored version of holy grail to watch with company despite having recorded the censored version on VHS, because they were embarrassed they had recorded a version that ended up getting censored by cbs?

That seems like a kind of odd thing to converse with "lots of people" about. I mean, shit I can see that coming up in conversation with one neighbor, but that's not the most common situation. LOTS of people???
