I keep seeing stories about networks considering remaking The Monkees. The thing that bothers me is that the proposed "remake" looks more like Making the Band than it looks like The Monkees tv show. The show wasn't about the search for the Monkees; the show was a wacky sitcom about a pre-fab band. Argh! It just annoys me. Sorry.
In sad news, Fred Rogers died early this morning. I loved that show. I loved the Land of Make-Believe. I pass by one of his sweaters when I go to volunteer at the Smithsonian. It's a sad day for all of us who grew up with Mr. Rogers as a neighbor.
Current song in my head:
"Laugh" by the Monkees
