Hi Aaron! I just wanted to pop in to thank you for posting these Monkee memories every week! It's always fun for me to try to think about what Monkees episode was on TV at this time 40 years ago or during the Saturday reruns, etc. Sometimes I even make it a point to watch the featured episodes of the week and sort of try to imagine myself transported back in time to the year and day it originally aired. I have to admit that I don't remember watching any specific episodes during the series' original run (when I was 5 & 6 years old), although I watched the show regularly back then, but I do still remember watching a couple of specific episodes (and even scenes) from its second run in the late 60s/early 70s -- most notably the scenes during the romp in "Monkees At The Circus" where The Monkees are walking the tightrope.
I hope you don't mind, but I would like to suggest one slight change to one of your descriptions in this week's "almanac." About the tag interview at the end of "Monkees At The Movies," you wrote: Quote:I think it might be more accurate to say that they ripped on the "misconception" or the "mistaken idea" that they didn't play their own instruments at their concerts, since the "fact" was that they did play in concert. What do you think? Again, I hope I am not out of line in making this suggestion. I really admire your vast knowledge about The Monkees and their show, and I visit your website often and find it to be a very valuable and entertaining resource about The Monkees TV show!

Quote: No, not at all! Thanks for the kind words, though.  I personally feel The Monkees should have been given a fair chance at the music-making gig beforehand. And I'm sure the feeling's mutual.

Great stuff, Aaron. I have a suggestion, maybe I can post it on your board when I can figure out to join your forum.
You know you have a Batman vs. Monkees section. I think you have enough going on here to have a Monkees vs. I Dream of Jeannie page. Someone else did some of the legwork here, but I bet there is more and I am sure you have some mentions of this on your Monkees website. |

Many thanks to Dad for the pictures and Lizzy for creating the page and hosting it.
May this all be over as quickly, and with as little loss of life, as possible.
