Summary: Monkees discuss their shows
Review: A nice concept by Rhino, having the four Monkees select and discuss their favorite episodes. The dvd shows the episodes in their entirity with bonus features including commercials featuring the Monkees and interviews with the band. Three of the four episodes are excellent, but the Davy Jones entry (Out to Sea) is a little weak. Since no other Monkees TV episodes are currently available on dvd, this disc is a must for any Monkees fan who wants to see the shows on a digital format. It also makes for a nice introduction to the group's shows for the new or casual fan.

Summary: Davy is little, but PETTY?!!
Review: First off, I'm a 1st-gen fan (yes, I'm very old) and since this DVD has been well-covered by other reviewers, I wanted to use this space to explain Davy's choice of "Hitting The High Seas".When this DVD was being produced, Davy was in the center of a protracted and one-sided snit with Michael Nesmith... seems the mystery surrounding Mike had drawn all the attention away from Davy, the self-professed heart-throb of the group, and Davy is not one who relinquishes attention easily. Its widely known that he chose this particular episode as his "fave" because Mike doesn't appear in it for more than 3 minutes!

Summary: Monkee Movie
Review: I bought this DVD for my kids because they enjoy watching the Monkees. They already have a tape of them but they can recite the words! I would recommend this to anyone who likes the Monkees or who just wants to relive part of the 60's. It is very entertaining because my wife and I also sit down and watch it. Our favorite episode was "Fairy Tale".

Summary: I Would Have Chose Other Episodes
Review: I could see why "Royal Flush" and "Mijaceogeo" were included because the former is acknowledged as the first episode, and the the latter is the last. "Hitting The High Seas" was one of my least favorite Monkees' episodes when I was a kid, and it continue to be. "Fairy Tale" with Mike in drag as a bratty princess is good. A better episode involving Davy with royalty would have been the one where he is a lookalike for a prince who's too shy to talk to women. Also, the pilot, where the band is hired for a sweet sixteen party (and Davy falls for the birthday girl), could have been included (esp. for the screen tests of the guys at the end of the show). I don't understand why there are three offerings from the second season, which had a lot of hit-and-miss episodes, when most of the first season shows were better.

Summary: Taking a trip down memory lane? Take another route...
Review: I love the Monkees! So I'm not here to rain on anyone's lunch(box), but let's quickly review this collection for a minute. Each and every Monkee presents and discusses their favorite episode. Now if you're saying to yourself, "Sounds great! I really CARE about the episodes THEY think are hillarious, and I can't believe I get a lunchbox to boot?". Well, you may have a winner here. But if you're saying to yourself, "I'd really like to see some of them old episodes again...oh, yeah, and the comments would be entertaining", (e.g., 99% of the rest of us), then understand just why its being offered with a lunchbox. Read on... Looking at the individual episodes: "Fairy Tale," "The Frodis Caper," and "Hitting The High Seas," we have less laughs than Martha Stewart pressing parsley. Now maybe the Monkees themselves thought these particular episodes were hillarious, but you and I weren't offered the luxery of eating hash brownies while tuning in to Sgt Pepper between takes on the set. I mean, ANYTHING would have probably seemed funny at the time. Now granted, the episode "Monkees vs. Machine", (Tork's favorite), was classic, BUT it still won't make up for the other weaker episodes. Here's a brief synopsis of what you're getting into: "Hitting the High Seas" (Davy's favorite), has them joining up as seamen only to find out their captain is going to hijack the Queen Elizabeth. Note: no laugh track. Problem: one is definitely needed to remind us that it is supposed to be funny. "Frodis Caper" (Mickey's favorite), hey remember that episode with the big pulsing eye that froze people to their TV sets and it was really psychadelic and it was...oh never mind Note: directed by Dolenz (...and you were wondering why it was Mickey's favorite?) Problem: directed by Dolenz "Fairy Tale" (Mike's favorite), to be honest here, this was a cute episode, but certainly not classic Monkees material Note: I can't remember how many takes they had to do during the filming of this particular episode, you might want to begin by multiplying Problem: remember me mentioning the hash-brownies? Anyway, for most of us, the Monkees episodes were full of sun, fun, and great little bubble-gum pop songs done to such visuals as the boys running (or riding a dune-buggy), across the sunny beaches of CA, riding bareback near the ocean, being chased by villians, girls chasing Davy, Davy chasing girls, etc. If anyone of those scenes embodies the Monkees for you. Then you'd do well to look elsewhere for some of the better material.

Summary: The Monkees
Review: It's difficult to tell when you're ordering this video, but there are four episodes of the original Monkees tv show. I had recently seen a made-for-tv movie about the monkees, so my husband surprised me by getting this for me for my birthday. I've thoroughly enjoyed it! If you enjoyed watching the tv show, you'll love it. In between episodes there are modern day interviews with each "Monkee".
