Monkees on Channel 56 started I believe in 1975. They were on at 5:00 right
before the Brady Bunch I believe, and since it was "back in the day" and my
family only had one TV, my mother had to write it on the calendar the weeks I got
to watch the Monkees and my sisters got to watch Sesame Street, which was on
channel 2 at the same time.
I was totally smitten with the Monkees and thought I had died and gone to
heaven when Diane Murphy, the daughter of my mother's best friend, was cleaning
out her room to move out and gave me all of her Monkees records! That was in
June of 1976 and being a child, even tried to sign up for the Monkees fan club
from the Colgems address on the back.
In later years 56 would only show the Monkees in the summer, and those of us
who watched it religiously through the years could tell when more bits were
chopped out in favor of more commercials. but we watched anyways.
That and seeing Hard Days Night on the Sunday Afternoon Movie on Channel 10
out of Providence, at my Grandmother's house totally imprinted me on the mop
top pop type of guy. and you wonder why I married a popster?! :-)
