When I was young my family lived with my great-grandmother for awhile and I remember watching tv shows with my mom in the afternoon before my younger sister and I took to the backyard.


Growing up my mom was a HUUUUUUUGE fan of The Monkees. She was president of their local fan club and everything. So when their show was on tv when I was a kid we'd watch it with her. I was obsessed with the show. And even from the very beginning my favorite was Mike Nesmith. xD
The Beatles cartoon always came on after the Monkees and at the time I thought the Beatles were trying to be like the Monkees so I didn't like them AT ALL. My mom never corrected it. It wasn't until I got older that I realized how WRONG that was. How embarrassing.
Though my feelings towards the Beatles changed down the line for sure, I never lost my love for the Monkees. They'll most def be showing up in other memories.
