I’m the opposite. I actually enjoy the show more now than I did when I was 8 because I “get it” now. But I agree their music was fabulous! Quite underrated.Um, OMG and I feel like a traitor because I adore them-but The Monkees. It was me and my sister's absolute favorite TV show as kids. We were *obsessed.* We knew every episode inside and out. "Oh, it's the one where Davy..." "Oo-this is the one where Mike..." and we would laugh like loons every time. When it started airing again on MEtv, I was thrilled...aaaaand it was, ugh. I shouldn't have watched. I love their music to distraction, but the TV show was awful.
