I was born in1962 and will turn age61 in middle-Spring (in the middle of May) this year. So I am still young enough to not have watched The Monkees tv series in its original run from 1966 to 1968 on American network television. But I am old enough to remember watching the show in its earliest repeats in syndication in the early -to mid-to late -1970's. That's more than a decade before the MTV video helped to revive the show in the late-1980's by airing a marathon repeat broadcast of the entire series/show. That resulted in several reunion tours of The Monkees group and also new music recordings & albums.I went to one of those live outdoor reunion shows in the late-1980's. But in the case of The Monkees nothing is more special than seeing their original show preserved on video formats.Their combination of hilarious comedy and great rock music is still a great gift to audiences. And on (DVD) format the bonus features such as the "33 and one- Thirds Revolution Per Monkee" special;audio commentary and vintage Kelloggs commercials add even more to the great joy of The Monkees phenomena.Even thiugh 3 original groups are now deceased thank God that the hilarious and outrageous Micky Dolenz is still alive and is still carrying the flame of their legacy.He was also the best singer in their group/band.Read full review

It's amazing to see how much The Monkees changed in the way of music & fashion from the first season to the second. The colors seem brighter in the second series (kind of like Batman) and the episodes seem trippier. The kicker to this 2nd series set is the addition of "33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee" special. Holy cow, what a mind trip! I like to think of myself as an open-minded person, but this was almost as bad as the Star Wars Holiday Special. But maybe I just didn't understand it. But don't let it stop you from enjoying this box set. The added commentary from Peter, Mike & Micky make it worthwhile. Plus the trivia is awesome as well.

I'm an original Monkees Fan. Still trying to get through Season 1, but sure glad I have season 2 at the ready. I am enjoying every minute reliving a great time of life through these episodes. This is just fantastic fun. As long as the Monkees will tour, I will be there to cheer them on when I can. Love the commentaries from their point of view. Happy Monkee Watching Everyone!
