I remember first seeing The Monkees TV show in a marathon on MTV on that fateful Sunday back in late February 1986 (to coincide with the group's 20th anniversary) along with my sister @ our grandmother's. Those live-action cartoon SFX, those musical numbers...boy, they sure had a profound effect on me. (I remember thinking to myself, "I could swear I'd seen this before"!) They virtually (and still do!) got rich off me, as, in the 14+ years since, I squandered the lot purchasing and collecting LPs, audiocassettes, CDs, books, cards, videocassettes, magazine articles and TV Guide listings of original firstrun episodes of The Monkees on NBC (the last 2 items in the form of xeroxed photocopies). I also have been a proud subscriber to The Monkee Business Fanzine right up to the very end.

My favorite Monkees album is Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.. My favorite Monkees songs are "Randy Scouse Git", "For Pete's Sake", "Star Collector," "She Hangs Out" (Part 2), "Tear The Top Right Off Of My Head," "Tear Drop City," and "I Don't Think You Know Me". My favorite episodes of The Monkees TV series are "Mijacogeo" (a.k.a. "The Frodis Caper"), "The Monkees On The Wheel", "Art For Monkee's Sake", “I've Got A Little Song Here”, "The Monkees Mind Their Manor", "The Monkees In Paris" (a.k.a. "The Paris Show"), “Monkee Chow Mein”, "Monkees Marooned", “The Monkees In Manhattan” (a.k.a “The Monkees Manhattan Style”) and "It's A Nice Place To Visit...". (I am undecided on who my favourite Monkee is, however!)

Years of collecting film and TV data on The Monkees led to my October 24, 1997 creation of The Monkees Film & TV Vault, a web site which pays strict, specific attention to facts and figures of The Monkees' unaired 1965 pilot, the 1966-68 NBC-TV series' 58 episodes (right down to the original summer repeats!), their 1968 Columbia Picture HEAD, their 1969 NBC-TV special 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee, and their 1997 ABC-TV special, Hey, Hey It's The Monkees, and it includes a listing of all 4 seasons of The Monkees' repeats on CBS and ABC Saturday Afternoon from 1969-73, transcripts and WAV soundfiles to The Monkees' commercial sponsor tags (for Kellogg's, Yardley Of London and Kool-Aid, including a transcript of the 1995 Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza commercial with ex-Beatle Ringo Starr), and transcripts of all 12 original interview segments as seen on The Monkees' TV show (adapted from the late Monkees Pad site), as well as transcripts of David, Michael and Micky's guests from March 1968. And, as we well know, it's celebrating 10 Monkeetacular years on The Web in 2007!

I also run a TV Web Shrine in my name, which serves as my "front" page; feel free to visit it as well. Other TV shows which I fancy are Batman, Star Trek, Spider-Man (1967 animated series), Get Smart (CBS), M*A*S*H, The Joker's Wild (CBS), The Hollywood Squares (NBC), Match Game 73-9/PM, The New Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape Show, The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour, The Harlem Globetrotters, The All-New Superfriends Hour and The New Adventures Of Batman. And my favourite movies are Batman (1966), Casino Royale (1967), The Odd Couple, HEAD (both 1968) and MASH (1969). (How much you want to bet that these films have either been spun off from or into well-known TV series?? Even Casino Royale had its turn on the small screen!) The Jacksons are my other favourite group.

Here, you get the latest scoop on the website, the weekly Monkees TV Almanac, music/video releases and TV showings on The Monkees and more. So enjoy!

Monkeemania!
