The Monkees "Monkee See, Monkee Die" #1.2 (1966) (TV)

A slight improvement over the first episode, 7 August 2015


The Monkees head to an old, haunted house for the reading of a millionaire's will. Because it's so foggy, they're forced to spend the night. Hilarity ensues.

Monkey See, Monkey Die (why won't IMDb let me spell this the right way) is a slight improvement over the first episode. A few things that really worked for me: 1. The carrier pigeon gag was pretty funny. 2. The whole séance was a blast. A lot of good gags here. 3. Milton Parsons as Ralph the butler. He has the best lines in the episode. As for things that didn't work for me: Really, there's only one that stands out - Stacey Gregg as Davy's Love of the Week, Ellie. Too white-bread to be very memorable.

Favorite song: Last Train to Clarksville (naturally)

7/10
