I’ve been showing all of The Monkees episodes to my mom, and tonight, we watched “The Chaperone”. It was so hard for me not to tell her the life story of every person at that party.

Back in middle school, when Neopets was all the rage, I had a school friend’s grandmother as a Neofriend, and we’d send each other gifts or messages occasionally, and it was cute to think about this little old lady playing Neopets.

I just realized this is probably how the current Tumblr Monkees fandom must think of me.

Today on Happy Days, two dudes showed up at Arnold’s today looking for “the mechanic”. They said that they were Hollywood talent scouts. Of course, I immediately knew that they were actually gangsters or foreign spies, and Potsie and Ralph should not have told them where Fonzie was.

Then I realized they probably really were talent scouts, and I’ve just seen too many episodes of The Monkees.

Ohhhhh myyyy godddd I wish I knew about this a week ago!

I don’t know what this genre is called, but it’s the same genre as Roberto Picardo’s album of songs about Star Trek, and it is my favourite genre.
