r/MeTV

The theme for this month's Three Stooges is "One Moe Time". Is this implying that The Three Stooges are leaving MeTV? I sure hope not!

I got 9 out of 10

I got 8 out of 10. I bet several of you on this subreddit have stories have how things were back in July of 1976. I, for one, am dying to hear them. We should have a pinned topic for it.

Svengoolie introduction.
Instead of presenting a traditional monster movie, Svengoolie explains why Head has become one of the strangest cult films of the 1960s. Although not horror in the traditional sense, it is surreal, unsettling, dreamlike, psychologically disorienting, and fits perfectly as the climax of a Monkees Halloween celebration.

8:00 PM
Svengoolie Presents…
HEAD (1968)
Viewed through a Halloween lens, Head becomes psychological horror. Identity dissolves. Television traps reality. War, execution, dream logic, black boxes, and media manipulation create one of the most bizarre films of its era. It serves as the perfect culmination of a day that begins with cartoon monsters and gradually descends into increasingly strange and surreal television.

Tagline:
“From Saturday morning monsters to midnight nightmares, spend Halloween with the Monkees. Welcome to MONKEYWEEN.”

Why do they dress Dodie like a two year old? You see her around the house and even at school, in grade 2, with a very, very short dress on and it looks like a diaper underneath. All the other students are dressed normally.

Just adding that Polly was the most annoying character on that show. Very weak and whiny and I feel sorry for Chip marrying someone like that just because she couldn’t stand up to her dad. Having said that the dad was rather creepy. He didn’t like anyone touching his daughter as in holding her hand.

I have to say that I never even heard of this. Maybe it's a regional thing, but no one I know ever heard of it either.

I got 7 out of 10. Also, McSpaghetti was before my time. To anyone out there who tried it, what was it like?
