100 Things Day 3: Monkee See, Monkee Do

[crazyfoolstiney]

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.

The Beatles cartoon in my neck of the woods barely saw any syndication. Monkees on the other hand, they've been cruising the channels all these years about as much as The Brady Bunch has.

Of course, nobody can hold a candle to I Love Lucy's syndication reign.

You know I've never again seen the Beatles cartoon on tv after that time when I was a kid. And I Love Lucy will forever reign because it's just absolutely, positively comedic perfection. xD
