Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 21, 2020

A blast from the tv past.

Fun show, but you could see the gags coming a mile away.

I loved Mickey.

No banana for Rover? Not even a Milky Bone?

We’re just tryin’ to be friendly Come and watch us sing and play We’re the young generation And we’ve got something to say

LOL! Perfect time for a banana, Red.

Those who are able to get METV here in the U.S, can still see the show (2 episodes) every Saturday evening.

Hey!

Aaaand now that song is stuck in my head

Wow! That takes me back to my own teen years! Loved the Monkees!

That was then…..this is now! ….but comedy of yesteryear can never be beat! Love the slapstick and clever remarks!

I loved the opening scenes when they’re running down the street pushing a double bed!

Some of the greatest US musicians of all time were recording for those guys.

Adorable – even a banana!

Too much TV time Red. It’s not doing you any good.

Red and Rover in the third panel cracked me up!

Ah, yes, when things were simpler for kids and imagination ran wild instead of being fueled by the latest VR device.

and I still want a “Monkeemobile”.

I used to love the show.

A flash in the pan but, Oh how bright!

“I’m gonna buy me a dog. ’Cause a need a friend now.”

Cute dance.

I didn’t know Rover could do that.

I bet “Lancelot Link,Secret Chimp” is up next!

And how many of you were singing along? I know I was.

Was at a Little League baseball game to watch my wife’s nephew. Between innings they played a Monkee’s song. My wife says “I was so in love with Mickey back then”. Her gay brothers partner, sitting in front of us, turns around and says “Yeah, so was I!”. :)

AT LEAST Michael Nesmith had an interesting song writing career further on.

Showing on MeTV every weekend.

Before my time. It was in reruns on Saturdays by the time i came along.
