　　这是一部以家庭、爱情、事业、政治和性爱为主题的「黄金时段肥皂剧」，故事发生在田纳西州首府纳什维尔－－一座因为音乐产业和乡村音乐名人堂而闻名的城市。该剧的主人公是一群音乐人，其中有的正处于事业的巅峰，有的是冉冉升起的新星，有的则在走下坡路。故事的主人公是40多岁的纳什维尔歌手Rayna James（Connie Britton）。她曾是一位超级巨星，但随着年华老去，她发现自己的吸引力正直线下降，唱片销量也越来越糟糕。她所在的唱片公司要求她与少女歌手Juliette Barnes（Hayden Panettiere）合作演出，否则将失去巡回演出、举办个人演唱会的资格，而且唱片公司也不再宣传她的唱片。迫于压力，Juliette很不情愿地答应了。Clare Bowen在剧中扮演前途无量的歌坛词曲新秀Scarlett；Jonathan Jackson扮演歌坛新秀Avery，性感的坏男孩，很有才气（能够自己写歌）；Powers Boothe扮演Rayna的父亲，一个很有威望的人，控制欲很强，极力反对女儿追求乡村音乐事业；Robert Wisdom扮演纳什维尔市下任市长候选人Coleman Caldwell，一个颇有政治魅力的政客；Eric Close扮演主人公Rayna的丈夫；Charles Esten扮演歌词作家Deacon，是主人公Rayna的旧情人，同时是Rayna所在乐队的主吉他手。

　　1969年10月5日，当这五个英国佬和一个美国佬第一次胡言乱语恬不知耻地出现在BBC电视台上时，整个英伦三岛都傻了眼。从这天开始，在之后短短的四年间，“巨蟒剧团”及其六位成员的名字通过《飞翔的马戏团》这套空前成功的电视喜剧节目，很快成为了英国现代文化的一个标志。也正是从《飞向的马戏团》开始，“巨蟒”逐渐为世界所熟知，并以自己独特的幽默方式开创了一种至今仍被全世界(尤其是好莱坞)广泛效仿和套用的喜剧类型。
　　《飞翔的马戏团》从形式上看类似于今天的电视小品，但它绝不受任何一种规范或模式的约束，我们从头至尾也看不到一个惯用的伎俩或模式化的重复。6个高智商活宝的创作灵感永远天马行空随兴所至，每一集的内容或破碎或连贯，可能是几个独立的故事，可能是几条相互交叉的线索，也可能是一堆毫无瓜葛的碎片。只要是他们灵机一动想到的东西，全都大胆地用摄影机拍摄了下来。除了极个别偶尔客串的朋友(在迫不得已的情况下他们必须需要的“性感美女”角色，都是由“真正的”女演员卡萝尔-克力夫兰扮演的)，整套剧中几乎所有有台词的角色都是活宝们亲自上阵，你所能像想到的各式奇装异服的打扮几乎全被他们尝试过了。
　　《飞翔的马戏团》嘲弄取笑，有时甚至是恶意羞辱的对象包括历史人物、哲学理论、政治立场、宗教教义、社会现象、公众意识等等。从维多利亚女王到普通的英国家庭妇女，从电视媒体制造的泡沫到日常生活中实实在在的细枝末节都是他们信手拈来的素材。而“巨蟒”对暴力或性等争议话题的处理也非常巧妙，既不会显得遮遮掩掩，也让审查机构无可奈何，这其中当然少不了泰里-基廉巧思妙想穿插剧中的卡通制作的功劳。
　　事实上，初看《飞翔的马戏团》或任何一部“巨蟒制造”的观众很可能会感到难以适应。乡土气极重的杜撰英国口音和有时显得十分白痴的行为和聒噪的对白会让人不知所云，而且节目中很大一部分内容也的确是纯属白痴的胡闹和小丑式的插科打诨。而这节目妙就妙在，这些貌似毫无价值的胡话连篇中经常会迸发出让人惊叹的绝妙创意，从极粗俗的角度彻底揭露人类文明中所有道貌岸然的嘴脸。大概所谓“大智若愚”的最高境界就在于此了。

　　本剧围绕四名共同“生活”上百年的吸血鬼展开，第二季中他们将继续努力在当代美国找寻自我方向，啼笑皆非地面对人类超级碗派对、网络暴民、新晋加官恋权的精力吸血鬼，以及所有自在游荡于纽约都会区的幽灵、女巫、招魂师、僵尸和潜行刺客。
