Cleese said in the extras of Fawlty Towers that the reason he didn't want to go past those 12 was frankly he got bored.
He left MP after 3 years because in his opinion they had "perfected" sketch comedy. They knew how to do it, they'd explored the boundaries, he was tired of it. With FT, he "perfected" situation comedy. While they could've done more, he didn't think it would be anything but retreading existing ground. He was still in favor of the films because they took a single chunk of time, as opposed to series which take months and months each year, and there were so many avenues to explore vs a sketch show or sitcom.
He is a proponent of quality over quantity.

Another show I've enjoyed in the last couple of years, is the "Live from Apollo" series of stand-up. You get exposed to a great number of talented british (and irish and american too) comedians.
Saw one - didn't laugh much - but expect there must be at least 1 funny episode in the 3 series
Ah, so that's what Matt Leblanc is doing these days...
