The Monkees

Yes that show of the 60's or early 70's, I have found them on my cable and I so enjoy watching the shows they are still funny. Anyone else enjoy watching them?

I haven't seen them lately but I do remember liking them. I thought their music was pretty catchy.

"Take the last train to Clarksville,

And I'll meet you at the station.

We'll have time for coffee-flavored kisses and a bit of conversation,

Oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh."

Or

"Hey, hey, we're the Monkees.

We like to monkey around.

But we're too busy singin'

To put anybody down."

What channel? I am going to look for them right now!!

Oh my gosh, I LOVED The Monkees when I was a kid. (Still do.) I thought I was going to grow up and marry Micky Dolenz. (I did not understand back then that The Monkees was filmed before I was even born and that Micky was in his 30s when I was watching the show.)

It was on at 4:00 every day in the summer and my mom would take us to the local pool in the afternoon and I would make sure we were all out of the water and back in the car driving home to see The Monkees promptly at 4:00.

I got to see them on one of their reunion tours.

I loved them too and had a crush on Peter Tork.

Love the Monkees. Love the music more than I did the show. I'm not big on slapsticky stuff though. Like the guys though. I think they got a bad wrap when people found out they were "manufactured" and studio guys played on the first couple of albums. I think they were quite decent musicians in their own right. Studio musicians played for so many groups in those days on the albums. Don't know about today. Great songs by Boyce and Hart and Neil Diamond and more. I'm a fan!

I adored this show when I was young! I HAD to watch it every week. I had all their pictures plastered all over my bedroom walls. I would rip them out of Tiger Beat and all the other teenage magazines at the time. I saved and scrounged every cent I could get my hands on so I could buy every album of theirs and played the albums so much I nearly wore them out! I had a major, major crush on Peter Tork. I thought he had the most beautiful hair! I still think a lof their songs are very good and I love to hear them!!! I haven't seen their show in eons and I would probably laugh and think --- WHAT??? What did I see in it? All good fun!!!!

About ten years ago my husband met Davy on an airport shuttle ride and got his autograph for me..."Love to Alicedee--Davy Jones, Monkee". It's one of my prized possessions lol!

I LOVED Davy Jones because he rode horses and I loved horses (still do, own them now and ride all the time). I was sad when he died, it was like part of my youth passed, but was happy to see that he still had horses in his life and even rode the day he passed away. I watched some clips on youtube and they were so silly, but it was fun to watch them again.

They are on Antenna TV on Sunday afternoons. It only aired for 2 seasons, the first was darling and so much fun, the second was awful, which is why it ended after that.

I loved the Monkees growing up. My walls were covered with their pictures, and I couldn't wait to buy another Tigerbeat magazine to get some more. Davy was my secret crush!
