PBS will debut new Monty Python specials in 2006!

Six new Monty Python specials will debut on PBS this year, one based on each member of the British comedy troupe. The five living Pythons - John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones - will each produce and write their own episode, with all of them collaborating on a sixth special to honor deceased member Graham Chapman.

Word is, Chapman is "feeling better" but still plans on being dead by the time the shows are ready.

Right. Stop that. It's silly.
