Summary: 5 Stars
Like other little girls in the 1960s, I was a huge fan of the Monkees. I thought it would be fun to share them with my niece (9), and nephews (8 and 3). They LOVE them. It's great to have something to watch with them that appeals to the range of ages. I'm no prude, but when it comes to watching with the little ones, I do like having something that is truly clean-cut and age-appropriate. DVD Review: Monkees 'a La Mode - 32 classic episodes and great songs
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very cute box - exactly as the Amazon photo. Downside is that it is a big cute box, 7cm x 15cm x 15cm, and mine got damaged a little in the post and required re-gluing. The actual DVD's are all in their own little cardboard miniature `Record' sleeves, great little facsimiles of the Monkees LP covers, fitted into a removable little `record deck' outer cardboard case that slots into the portable `record player' box. So a lot of the DVD box is air and the odd spring. All the episodes 1 to 32 from the first series are here, first aired from Sept 1996 to April 1967, and they are spread over 6 DVDs. The final DVD also has a few extras, like the Kellogs commercials, discography, play songs only, Monkees commentaries, interview with songwriter Bobby Hart, and a Monkees memorabilia gallery. The set also has little booklet of the chapter indexes and a short `behind the scenes' written piece that's quite interesting (I didn't realise Mickey and Davy were only 20 when picked or that the Monkees concept wasn't nicked from the Beatles film `Hard Days Night' - one of the creators, Bob Rafelson, had toured with a struggling young band in 1962 and got the idea then). See tvtome for the actual episode list. We find the picture/sound fine, particularly on our small bedroom TVs. There is also a similar `record player' DVD set for season two.
This first season DVD set is great fun, if a little repetitive naturally being nearly 16h of episodes. My daughter (12) likes the Monkees and has watched most of the episodes - but not as much as her original 4 episode DVD `The Monkees our favourite episodes' - NTSC as well - so perhaps she has suffered from Monkees overload fatigue (and she has since fallen under the spell of the Charmed ones). She also has the CD set `The definitive Monkees - limited edition' which she really likes. She became a fan after singing 'I'm a believer' in the school Choir. She really likes the Monkees humour (and also the similarly zany British series 'The Goodies at last' and '2nd helping' DVD sets - if you can find them in the US). My son (10) also loves this Monkees set, although he tends to watch The Goodies a bit more. So a pretty good value DVD set in a fun package - we got it particularly cheaply via Amazon resellers.
DVD Review: Great Flashback !!
Summary: 4 Stars
I used to watch these shows after school at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, back in...yes, 1979. So they were . duh, in syndication reruns, but for my generation, my first chance to see "The Monkees."
I looked forward to it everyday.
This box set, as well as season 2 are great. Sure, the audio is sub par, but it's the way it aired, then. Cleaned up some, and in it's original form. No edits and all the BS 60's promo's. How cool is that??
Stop the bitchin' and be thankful we can accually get these shows on a full DVD set.
Original packaging, very cool idea, not easy to fit into my DVD set up, but, that's what makes in unique.
Thanks Rhino !!
