Reported By Jason LockardThe Monkees a sitcom in the 60s! Well, I wasn't born! I wouldn't be born for quite a long time. So I never got a chance to see The Monkees when they were on TV in the first run. I discovered them through reruns. Their crazy antics and awesome music had me hooked the moment I saw the first episode. I have been a fans all these years and still continue to be to this day.
Sadly Peter Tork passed away this week at the age of 77 from cancer. Peter was known as the naive one. Known for playing the keyboard and bass guitar. His child-like innocence is something that even kids in this generation don't have.
MeTV Network known for playing all the classic TV shows is paying tribute to the career of actor and musician Peter Tork with a special presentation of 2 Peter centered Monkees episodes airing back to back on this Sunday (2/24/19) beginning at 5 p.m. ET.
The episodes to be played are:
“One Man Shy" A rich debutante named Valerie books the Monkees to play her coming-out bash. Awkward Peter immediately falls head-over-heels for her. Just one problem — the girl's snobby rich suitor goes out of his way to show her why she should never be with poor Peter. The Monkees cook up their own plot in retaliation to prove just what a fine fellow Peter truly is. Features the tunes "Valerie" and "I'm A Believer."
“The Devil and Peter Tork” This tale is based loosely on Stephen Vincent Benet's fantasy novel The Devil and Daniel Webster (just like the song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"). Peter falls in love with a golden harp in Mr. Zero's Pawn Shop. Alas, he has no cash to buy it. Zero produces a Faustian contract, which Peter signs. Micky, Mike and Davy remind Peter that he can't play the harp. But — poof! — Zero appears in a cloud of smoke and endows Peter with masterful harp skills. The lads suddenly become a harp act — and an instant overnight success.
Set your DVRs and enjoy the innocent fun of The Monkees.For more information of MeTv visit www.metv.com
