: Actually, ironically enough, I knew... I was
: square in the middle of the target audience
: for both this show and the Brady Bunch when
: I was a kid. This is probably not especially
: cool to admit but back in the days when you
: were lucky to have five TV channels (The
: three majors, PBS and an Independent). Thus,
: one didn't necessarily have a lot of choice,
: and after all kids my age were where these
: shows were targeted and parents probably
: felt a lot better about their kids watching
: Shirley Jones than the Rolling Stones. So I
: remember watching as a kid.

: Fast forward to a couple of years ago... For a
: couple of months one of the local
: independent UHF TV channels in Chicago ran
: episodes of "The Monkees" and
: "The Partridge Family" back to
: back from 8-9 in the mornings one summer a
: couple of years back. I had vaguely
: remembered the Monkee's TV show, but through
: oldies stations I was introduced to many of
: their hits.

: An aside: (Did you know Neil Diamond wrote
: "I'm a Believer"? Think about him
: singing that song, it fit's his voice
: perfectly!)

: So for that summer while I was cruising TZ and
: eBay, most mornings I would have those shows
: on. I was a bit surprised to spy that Monaco
: on Reuben Kincaid's (actor Dave Madden's)
: wrist during an episode.

: So I knew about it before today, but I can't
: say I remembered it from when I was a kid,
: but I always liked the Reuben Kincaid
: character. Perhaps subliminally that was
: why!

: Anyway, the thought had occurred to me to me
: that people would enjoy seeing screen snaps
: of this, but I haven't been able to muster
: up the desire or the moxie to go to Best Buy
: to purchase the DVD's! I mean, c'mon! A guy
: in his mid 40's buying The Partridge Family?

: So anyway, if someone wants to send me the
: DVD's I'll do screen snaps! If you think
: that's a bit much, yeah, you'd have to pay
: for 'em, but I would have to watch 'em!
