Love the Monkees January 6, 2009
Nicely packaged. Season two has some great episodes for Monkees zealots. If you can only buy one set, I would buy season one, since the Monkees sort of lost interest toward the end of season two, and a few of the episodes suffer. I have sons who are 5 and 8 years old who love the Monkees, and they really enjoy both seasons of DVD's. I think the Monkee's are clean wholesome fun and definitely a pop culture icon worth exposing your kids to. I wish they could remaster these episodes and upgrade the sound and possible the picture quality, but still great as is.

A hit-or-miss affair, "The Monkees" managed to break free from its sitcom shackles during the 1967-68 season. Micky, Davy, Mike and Peter "make the world shine" with offbeat romps such as "The Devil and Peter Tork," "Fairy Tale" and "The Frodis Caper." The group's increased confidence and creative control resulted in some of their finest songs. "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Goin' Down," "Randy Scouse Git" and "Salesman" are among the music-video highlights. Rhino's five-DVD set includes all 26 episodes plus the 1969 special "33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee" - an uneven yet subversive pop-culture document with memorable appearances by Fats Domino, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. Contrary to popular belief, it was The Monkees' creative differences with NBC - not poor ratings - that ended the series. Dolenz, Jones, Nesmith and Tork should have agreed to a third season, since they partially won the battle to eliminate the sitcom format and were just hitting their stride as performers. Instead, the NBC cancellation marked the group's first death knell.
Good choice for the die-hard Monkees fan! August 16, 2008

This is the perfect gift for a die-hard Monkees fan! The video quality was fairly good considering the age of the originals. There were some special features on the DVDs, and we haven't finished watching all of the extra material. The boxed set is just like the photo shown - it comes in a box that resembles and opens like a record player. The DVD sleeves look like record covers.
Overall, I thought it was a good set!

I used to watch the Monkees when I was a kid, and now my kids are watching it. I feel old! Great fun!

First of all, I'm in the UK so am watching NTSC on a PAL format TV, which will have some effect on picture quality.
While this is hardly the best quality DVD transfer ever done, I couldn't care less. For the money, it's great. It's all perfectly watchable, and some of the extras - especially the episode trivia - are excellent. Love the packaging as well, which is perfectly robust if you're careful with it.
The bottom line is that these episodes are unavailable elsewhere on DVD as far as I know and I'm delighted to have them (although I prefer Season 1 overall). If someone produces some better versions, then fine, I'll buy them too!
