• Monkees vs. Macheen: “The Monkees Watch Their Feet”

  “The more days that go by, the more good old days there are to miss.” “The Monkees Watch Their Feet” a.k.a. “Micky and the Outer Space Creatures” is a standout episode of the second season, mostly because of the unusual story-telling style.

• Monkees Vs. Macheen: “Monkees à la Mode”

  “We don’t follow fashion. That’d be a joke.” “Monkees à la Mode” is one of my favorites, if not my very favorite from the first season. The storyline plays as a culture war between the Monkees and a high fashion magazine staff. The Monkees are at their best working together, defying authority. There’s no high…
