Join a nostalgic viewer as she rediscovers the magical TV 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 red 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 machine and paves the way for boy bands, MTV and American Idol.

Monkee Magic: a Book about a TV Show about a Band provides insightful commentary about all 58 episodes of the original Monkees TV series, as well as the feature film Head 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 voice, and a whimsical journey for dedicated Monkees fans and nostalgic boomers alike.
