Originally posted by Leo Lakio View PostThat is one of the joys of having the series on DVD - they are structured so that, if you wish, you can just watch the music clips only (what they referred to as "romps").
Here's one of my favorites: Sweet Young Thing.

Originally posted by Frankie's Market View PostThe only thing that I find worthwhile about watching The Monkees on repeated viewings are the music clips. Those are enjoyable, although there's nothing that I would describe as being mind-blowing.

The problem that I have had with most "classic" TV channels for the last 20 years have been the fact that networks are using edited episodes that shave off a few minutes in order to squeeze in more commercials. That makes every showing of Hawaii Five-0 on KWHE unwatchable for me. If Me TV airs uncut versions of their shows, then they have something special. If not, then it's no better than TV Land.Last edited by Frankie's Market; March 15, 2012, 09:01 PM.

Originally posted by Amati View PostWow we agree AGAIN?? I find the Old Man entertaining ... and the stuff people bring in to sell, well, you don't see that sort of selection in Hawaii pawn stores.
That Vegas store has enjoyed a massive windfall of $ and attention with the interest per the show. They have a ton of interesting items coming in that we don't ever see. They have to close the store on filming days, it's way crowded. I love calling bullshit on items when I have better knowledge than the experts show. Red lights and whistles go off!
The 'old man' can be fun, but ChumLee is the star. He's more real than the others, and I can't stand the grandson, Corey. Rick, is probably a prick as well, but pulls off the show well. And he likes Hendrix, so he can't be all bad. I wish they'd lose the obvious fakery of personalities and stick to the meat, the Detroit show suffers from the internal BS as well. But the things they've spotlighted have often been incredible, stuff you'd otherwise never see or known existed. Whoever pushed the concept nailed it!
Monday evenings were ritual veiwing in the '60s, Laugh-In and The Monkees, same channel, back to back. I should have hated The Monkees silliness, and being friends with the Ed Roth family we always had that local (So. Cal) rivalry per the Barris brothers about the Monkeemobile, etc. But they were huge on Hendrix, so they had cred way beyond the stupid show once I heard that, and I love some of the songs still today.Last edited by Ron Whitfield; March 15, 2012, 07:35 AM.

But still, a damn lot of fun to watch. (And the reason I brought "Antenna TV" into the discussion was because they ran a marathon of Monkees episodes a few days after Jones died.)

Re: Me TV
Gotta say ME's weekly daytime shows are the worst dreck the '60s and '70s produced, and what made me hate popular viewing back then. I hit paydirt the other evening and will temper my excitement and viewing with guarded selectivity. We need more high quality programs like Laugh In, Johnny Carson, and The Monkees.
