Join a nostalgic viewer as she rediscovers the magical series of her childhood, exploring the episodes with a warm heart, a critical eye and a sentimental sensibility. From teeny bopper bubblegum to psychedelic experimentation, from matching blue eight-button shirts to eye-popping paisley, from playful romps to sophisticated performance videos, watch the sideburns grow and the love beads multiply as the revolutionary, rebellious little rock 'n' roll TV show cheerfully pokes the corporate network television machine and paves the way for boy bands, MTV and \u003ci\u003eAmerican Idol\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMonkee Magic: a Book about a TV Show about a Band\u003c\/i\u003e provides insightful commentary about all 58 episodes of the original Monkees television series, as well as the feature film \u003ci\u003eHead\u003c\/i\u003e and the group's two stand-alone TV specials. With a wry sense of humor and just a little bit of affectionate snark, the author notes comedy highlights, running gags, nitpicks, obscure cultural references and inside jokes. It's a fresh view, a provocative analysis and a whimsical journey for dedicated Monkees fans and nostalgic boomers alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIain Lee, broadcaster and Monkee Maniac: \u003c\/i\u003eAt last, \u003ci\u003eTHE MONKEES\u003c\/i\u003e TV series is given the respect and the detailed study it has long deserved. While their music is seen by many as timeless and classic, the onscreen antics of the pre-fab four have been criminally overlooked. Now the groundbreaking and innovative show is gathered together in one well written and passionate book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10233358\"\u003eMelanie Mitchell\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493544318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493544314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER010020\"\u003eTelevision | Guides \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42639594750189,"sku":"9781493544318","price":22.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_662bef5f-f7b2-4ca6-955a-2908cf17cb74.jpg?v=1649055010","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/monkee-magic-a-book-about-a-tv-show-about-a-band-9781493544318","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
