The Monkees: Captain Crocodile (23)/Fairy Tale (18) (1966) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This video contains two episodes of the Monkees television series.
The first, "Captain Crocodile", is my favorite episode. In it the Monkees are hired to play on a children's television show, only to be the victims of a paranoid host who is afraid that the Monkees want to replace him. The episode includes a great romp set to the novelty tune "Your Auntie Grizelda" and a funny scene in which the Monkees tell the kids a story...from the dictionary.
The second, "Fairy Tale", is another favorite of many fans. The Monkees tell the story of a poor peasant in love with a princess. The episode spoofs fairy tales while providing the Monkees a chance to wear ridiculous costumes, most notably Michael Nesmith, who plays the object of Peter's affections, the lovely (?) Princess Gwen.
These are both great episodes. If you want to buy one of the volumes and are unsure of which to get, I would heartily recommend volume 8. Both episodes are strong, memorable, and funny. Whether you are a new fan or looking to revisit old memories, this tape is a great place to start.
