College enrollment is rising in Tarrant County. But not all schools have rebounded from COVID declin
Enrollment is up for most colleges and universities in the Tarrant County area in comparison to 2023. But at the largest institutions — Tarrant County College and University of Texas at Arlington — undergraduate enrollment in fall 2024 has not made a complete rebound from pre-COVID levels in fall 2019.
![Monty Python's @JohnCleeseOfficial talked to us about the risk KERA TV took airing the troupe's "Flying Circus" series in 1974, the first U.S. television station to do so. "When the series was offered to Dallas, it had been turned down in every major city in America – New York, L.A., Chicago ... everywhere," he said.
He recalled being told that then-KERA program director Ron Devillier was receiving calls from supporters the next morning essentially asking, "Well, did they burn the station down? Were you stoned on the way to work?" The answer: No. Viewers loved it. After, the troupe's brand of comedy caught fire across America.
"If it hadn't been picked up by that marvelous, marvelous man of yours, we probably would never have been heard of," Cleese said. "That's the debt we owe to you in Dallas, [to] KERA and that wonderful, wonderful man." ❤️
Join us for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the night we aired Monty Python with a celebration and singalong screening of their first film, "The Holy Grail."
