Remember when Monkey taught Paul that monkeys could do anything humans
could do? Monkey's impassioned plea for equal treatment of all primates
inspired me to become an animal rights activist. (I hope to see monkeys
granted suffrage in my lifetime.) My favorite moment: in the episode where
Storm was freaking out because his mother was trying to make him go back
home and finish boarding school, when guest star Fred Savage out-sassed
Mrs. Storm: "Even MONKEY has better fashion sense than you do!"

Well, back when this show came out, Neil didn't have nearly the
fan-following he does today. As it was, he was just working to make ends
meet and took whatever work came his way. The studio was looking for
someone to play a writer and decided they could save money by hiring a
starving writer instead of paying a lot more for a real actor. Although
he's consistantly denied it, some rumors state that Neil, once famous, paid
to have this show destroyed and hidden. I don't believe it, myself.

Cernoise is right, my friends. The show was cancelled after the first
episode. Most of the "shows" that people remember are either fan-written
stories or simply teleplays for the unaired episodes that leaked out. But
one thing is for sure, only a few episodes were written, yet there are
hundreds of "real Monkey Shines" teleplays online. So take these stories
with a grain of salt. But add them to the 'Rumours' section of the
wikipedia page, it needs it. Search 'Monkey Shines (tv show)'

Grant Tinker canceled "Monkey Shines" because he didn't like the direction
Producer George A. Romero was taking the situation comedy, making Coulton's
character quadriplegic. Romero destroyed all the existing copies of the TV
show. He then retooled and recast the entire show as a Horror Movie.
"Monkey Shines. An Experiment in Fear." Only John Pankow (Paul's cousin Ira
on "Mad About You.") kept his original role from the TV series in the
movie, as the whacked out Geoffrey Fisher.

The final episode was the saddest ending to any show ever. When Johnathan
had to make the decision between moving away for that VP's position or to
stay with the monkey. The final thing Johnathan said to the monkey is
something that I will remember for the rest of my life: "Even though I
would shine as a vice president, there is nothing that shines brighter than
my monkey." And then they walk back into the house hand and hand. I give
Monkey Shines a 10/10 in my book.

First of all, in 1985, JoCo would have been in his teens, if even that.
Also, that unless they had a time machine, that MacBook, looks a bit out of
place of place for the time period. However.... It's still a great clip.
I'm honestly surprised that someone hasn't gone up to Coulton and offered
him a TV deal of some kind. I'm willing to bet it'll happen someday. I
personally would get cable again if there was a show with JoCo AND Neil
Gaimen starring in it.

These have to be some of the best YouTube comments I've ever seen. It's
nice to finally see a real conversation around a video clip. On a related
note, I had never seen the opening of this show before, but I do have an
old reel-to-reel film clip of bloopers from the series. It's in poor
condition, and you can barely make anything out, but the Poo Flinging
Incident that happened on the first day of shooting is priceless.

Does anyone remember the episode where JoCo's aunt came over, and Monkey
thought she was a burglar? Hijinks ensued, but what really got me was when
they went for icecream at the end, and Monkey was all "ICE to meet you,
Mrs. Coulton!" That was my favourite episode, and I must have watched the
tape of that at least once a day for three or four months. Shame that I
actually only managed to record the commercials...

When it gets bad do you believe it will get better? Can you forget the big
mistake? Is it really living if you're living by the letter? How many
monkeys does it take to change a lifetime? (JoCo) Your monkey got a second
chance he thinks he'll take it. (JoCo) Your monkey knows that life is only
what you make it. Once you learn how to love, it's time to let it show.
There's "Monkey Shines" where ever you go.

Of course, Monkey Shines! My favorite episodes of this classic were the
episode in which we learn that lying never pays off, and the one in which
Jonathan goes on vacation and the precocious children -- mysteriously
absent from the opening credits -- throw a party in his absence. And of
course there was the Christmas episode and the "very special" episode
featuring the improper touching. Ah, the memories!

@TotzthePlaid Tell that to my dad please. While doing our monthly check of
the new songs available to Rockband, he saw JoCo's picture and laughed at
the dorkiness, and raised a brow to Skullcrusher Mountain before even
previewing the song. ...I was too shy to tell him of the awesomeness, too.

Do you remember the episode, I think it guest starred Ted White, when his
eccentric uncle left him a house in the country and all he had to do was
stay the night, except it was haunted? And then, when Jonathan, Paul and
Storm thought they saw a g-g-g-g-g-ghost, it turned out that it was only
his uncle? Talk about classic TV!

Guys, those weren't real episodes, they were all hoaxes. Feel free to write
fanfic, but don't pretend those were real episodes. All we have are these
opening credits and the memory of that hilarious 10 minutes or so (can
anyone remember what the baby was using? It was so long ago, it's kind of
hazy.)

OMG, no wonder it got canned at Square Zero. For one thing, the song was
awful. It just looks, all-in-all, terrible. Too bad for Neil Gaiman. I
guess he's got some connection to Douglas Adams and Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy; I have the "Ultimate" version and Neil does the introduction
for it.
