What are your favorites? Don't leave me hanging.True confession:
So far, only the one when they sing "Riu, Riu, Chiu," and the one when they make fun of Bobby Sherman.
Their music videos are always great fun to watch ---
As for the individual eps, however ---
My wife and I took the 2nd season out of our local Library (the only season they currently own), and after the 1st 3 eps, boy was I disappointed ---
The first 3 eps seemed so cartoonish and juvenile. I know I loved 'em as a kid, but as an adult, I just wasn't appreciating them, outside of the music and the special 1960s "guest appearances" (Godfrey Cambridge, Liberace, Joy Harmon, etc.)
No way was I slogging through all 31 eps in season 2 !
At that point, I realized that fans on IMDb would be able to help me out ---
I knew they would have much broader and deeper recent experiences with the eps than I've had ---
If they could share their fave eps with all of us, I could finally find some good eps, and really enjoy Monkeemania !!
Thanks in advance, everyone !

The Monkees remind me of my innocence of youth. This was the only show I would watch religiously. Saturday mornings, 11:30, on CBS, channel 10, I knew what I was doing. Maybe the show doesn't age like fine wine, but the music does. To me, the songs are timeless.

To me, the songs are timeless.Yes, no question, the music is timeless --- both the pieces written by the "pro" songwriters, as well as many of the pieces crafted by the Monkees themselves !

While slogging through them, checking out the music, I've found some eps to be pretty funny.
Truly, the only ones who could tell us if the eps are still effective (and have aged like fine wine !) would be the current crop of 5 - 11 year-olds ---
If they laugh at these eps, and enjoy them, then the show has truly aged well !
(Apparently, I haven't aged well --- LOL !)
