Not a Monkees fan but I have a lot of respect for what they did across multiple media.

RIP Mr. Tork.

Yes, the Monkees were a fake band, but I grew up on them and they were great. Tork was actually quite a musician as was Nesbit.

I just bought a Monkees album for my ipod last month. They had some good songs.

Their show was weird, but creative. I remember a line from a show once that really made me laugh. They were in some haunted house or something, and a woman screamed off camera.

One of them said, "What was that?" and another one replied, "I think it was a C sharp."

Because they were musicians. Get it? Musicians.

R.I.P.

So long, and thanks for the head!

Useless trivia: this song took its title from a Monkees song:

They were called "The PreFab Four" which was unfair, because the guys were actually quite accomplished musicians. Article in Variety on Peter Tork:

RIP sir.

Never cared that much for them, but would watch it from time to time when Uncle Ed had it on his show.

If I remember right, only one of them could play an instrument when they started out. They all learned.

I remember watching The Monkeys, then at some point during that same time of day / block of time, another awesome show I loved as a kid "Lancelot Link - Secret Chimp" would come on.

years later as a teen, my friends and I would watch lancelot Link while under the influence and laugh ourselves to tears.

Monkees were on when I was in high school. This was before MNF, I can remember like yesterday talking to a friend in the yard and saying, I've got to go now my shows are coming on. Monday night, first was the Monkees, then Laugh In and then Man From Uncle.

Could have swore Monkees were on Friday's but I could be wrong. Remember always watching Laugh In. But that was before MNF. MNF killed laugh in.
