I was watching the Monty Python documentary and they mentioned this. I think one of the Terry’s bought the episodes, which were scheduled to be erased. Otherwise, no Monty Python for America. What was remarkable was many shows that the Pythons had written for, and the ones that had influenced them, At Last the 1948 Show or the Goon Show were gone. So in an alternate timeline, we might be huge Spike Milligan fans.
