The Monkees TV Show


Earlier I mentioned that the Monkees, as a show and a rock group, are favorites of mine. However, recently it has come to my attention that people in their 20's do not know the Monkees had a TV show. They don't know that it was a sit-com first and that the cast became a rock group. I know that the radio stations have kept the group alive with the music on the airwaves. Still it was the tv show that made them popular. First with the original airings in the 60's. Later when it ran on Saturday mornings in the late 60's and early 70's. Then in syndication on independent stations and on cable stations like MTV, VH1 and Nick at Nite. But the show, to my knowledge, has not been on tv in years. If anyone knows who to get in touch with at Sony or Rhino please tell them if they want an future success with the Monkees they need to syndicate the show again. Perhaps Spike TV, TV Land or maybe even Hallmark. Hallmark is showing Gilligan's Island so why not The Monkees. Maybe then you can get the four Monkees to do a movie while they still can.
