I think the girl who played Fern in Too Many Girls was super cute.
Fern is played by Kelly Jean Peters. I must say I was surprised by her bikini scene because I recalled her only from "Little Big Man". I kept thinking she looked familiar, so I looked her up on IMDb; I didn't hit that "aha!" moment till I saw "LBM", in which she was the hysterical Swedish girl who undergoes a transformation after her abduction.
Rita/Reta Shaw I recognized instantly, having seen her in so many episodes and movies, especially the TV series "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". (Yes, I'm that old!)
I am enjoying the series (on Family) so much, having been a faithful viewer in my teen years. Though we didn't have any money to spare, our father bought the first Monkees' album for my younger sister and I. We played it every morning as we got ready to go to school; Mom and Dad already were at their jobs, so we weren't driving them crazy. Actually, they like ALL of the music we loved! Yes, they were wonderful parents, a lot of fun though having set rules.
Later, I managed to buy more albums (on vinyl, of course) though I don't think I have a complete set.
Now in old age and severe ill-health, the episodes make me smile, laugh, sometimes sing along, and actually hurt a little less. The guys were and remain adorable=} No wonder we had such crushes!
