  • Davy's grandfather comes over from England. The only problem is that Davy already told him that he is successful, so the others have to pretend to be his servants. Is the threat of the Monkees breaking up enough to tug on viewers heartstrings? Find out in my review of Success Story!
    Welcome to Monkee Madness, the series where I watch and review every episode of the Monkees in preparation for a full series ranking whenever I've finished.

    Do you like discovering the next cult classics? Do you like over-analysing concept albums? Do you like people who talk about films they think are OK but obnoxiously waste their time saying "but it would be better if"?
    Enchanted Essays posts new videos about books, films and more every Friday. I alternate between reviews and video essays weekly. I try to introduce people to obscure movies and TV shows, and look at familiar films from a perspective you may not have seen before. I struggle to stick to a niche, but I'm planning multiple videos analysing James Bond films, Disney films, concept albums and adaptations.

    I remember watching this episode after Davy's untimely passing. Of course, it made me cry. This is one of my favorite Davy episodes.

    THIS episode made me cry and still makes me cry every time I see it. It's my favorite episode and allows them to show their serious acting skills as well as comedic.Especially Davy. Breaks my heart now b/c it's really like Davy is telling them good bye.😭😧

      Yeah it's a beautiful episode. It's a shame that they had fewer sentimental moments in the second season. They work surprisingly well. They were never saccharine for me. Thanks for subscribing!

    I think it was the best episode they made and I would have loved to have seen more of that emotion in the series I think It would have lasted longer if they had more episodes like this.
    That scene always made me cry even before Davy passed away it's like i knew it would happen or something like that was going to take place.😢

      Yeah it's a shame they didn't do more sentimental episodes. They were great. I think I wrote about it in another review. I was surprised when I rewatched it that these moments really don't come across as to saccharin or soppy. It's really well done

    I appreciate your reviews. They don't just retell the story of the focal piece. It contains some great analytical points and in such a short engaging time limit.

      Thanks! Although I don't have a problem with more in depth reviews, I prefer giving spoiler free reviews unless I'm doing an in depth analysis so that I'm not replacing the experience of watching it.

      So do I. It's a really weird moment out of context. Actually, it's still pretty weird in context. Either way, it's pretty funny!

    This has always been my favorite episode, the sequence on the beach with " Shades of Gray" plays was beautiful

    • @EnchantedEssays
      @EnchantedEssays  2 роки тому +2

      Yeah it's a great episode. I was really surprised that the emotional moments worked so well when I was revisiting the Monkees. It never comes across as saccharine at all.
      It's actually I wanna be free in the original broadcast, but it was replaced in some of the later reruns with Shades of Grey. They did this to promote later albums. A lot of that rerun footage is lost, but it would be nice if they had an option to have different songs on home media. Shades of Grey is such a beautiful song!

    • @spicy321
      @spicy321 Рік тому +1

      I saw it with Shades Of Grey originally and I think it works better. Not all of the replaced songs in the rerun versions do but this was a good swap.

    • @EnchantedEssays
      @EnchantedEssays  Рік тому

      Yeah I can see how it worked with a song with the same tone, both musically and thematically.

    The entire video shown here is backwards.

      Yes, well spotted! I have to mirror most of it to avoid copyright claims I'm afraid.

    • @markzappasodi

      Bizarre. Showing it in reverse avoids copyright penalties???

    • @EnchantedEssays
      @EnchantedEssays  Рік тому

      @@markzappasodi The way I use it definitely falls under fair use, but the copyright claim system is automated, so it's easier to try and avoid it altogether
