Airing on NBC for two seasons (58 episodes), the show chronicled the fictional misadventures of a struggling rock band.
The Monkees was my favorite sitcom as a child. Before video recording, I would use my Radio Shack Cassette Recorder to capture the audio of each episode. I didn’t have an external microphone, so I would stack up books and place the recorder by the TV speaker. I would then re-play the tape over and over and sing along to each episode’s songs.
I watched the 1957 Universal International horror/sci-fi movie “The Incredible Shrinking Man” on Svengoolie. After going through a strange fog, while boating, Robert “Scott” Carey begins to slowly shrink after a few months. The movie was produced by Albert Zugsmith (Touch of Evil, High School Confidential, Confessions of an Opium Eater) and directed by Jack Arnold (It Came From Outer Space, Creature From the Black Lagoon, Revenge of the Creature, Tarantula!, High School Confidential).
