Not enough thoughts to warrent a review, but...

...was this or was it not a Monty Python type spoof? It sure wasn't advertised that way.

Years ago I saw it, when it played prime time on TV, and I immensely enjoyed it, just out of sheer mystification. I was laughing at its Biblical absurdities, just from what I knew from long ago Sunday school. Nothing but small character details seemed meant to be funny, yet I came away feeling that I'd been in on the massive joke.

Was its humour intentional or not? The laughs seemed way more deliberate than those I always get from the thrilling solemn "The Ten Commandments", which I watch ever year. Yet it seemed to be made as a Judeo-Christian action ride, a slicker version of what the Italians used to crank out for 60s drive-ins. Or, better yet, John Huston's delirious "The Bible: in the Beginning" (1965), actually letting loose and delivering the good time it promised.

That was one oddball and entertaining mini-series.
