Crazy credits for
"Monty Python's Flying Circus" (1969) More at IMDbPro »

• In episode 23 "Scott of the Antarctic," the opening segments take up so
  much time that the theme song doesn't play until about 20 minutes into the
  show.
• Several episodes go on for several minutes following the closing
  credits. Some closing credits even incorporate the BBC "rolling earth" logo
  that was used at the time between programs.
• On some occasions, the opening credits do not occur until many minutes into
  the program -- sometimes as late as the half-way point in the show.
• Episode 41 "Michael Ellis" begins with the opening theme song, followed by
  a screen that says "THE END," followed by the end credits, and then the
  show begins.
• One episode omits the entire opening sequence of "Monty Python's Flying
  Circus" in favour of a simple title caption - "The Cycling Tour".
• In the "Royal Episode" John Cleese doesn't open with "And now for something
  completely different". Instead he says Queen Elizabeth II will be watching
  and the show begins with entirely different opening sequence and song. At
  the end the audience and characters stand as "God Saves the Queen" is
  played over end credits.
• Depending on the content of the individual shows, the credits were changed
  accordingly, often appearing in anagrams (Tony M. Nyphot's Flying Risccu),
  with a different title completely (The Buzz Aldrin Show) or with strange
  additions to the names of the cast and crew, such as various foodstuffs,
  sex toys and political gambits.
