"Monkey Shines" - Opening Credits

I want to watch ALF now. :)

Maybe if they had given Neil a typewriter instead of that shiny box he would have gotten somewhere as a real writer!

I believe it has something to do with a demonic bargain, or maybe it's because most of Coulton has been replaced with cybortronic parts by now. Most of what you see today is Robotic, constructed by Disney Imagineers.

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.

Is it true that, after the show was canceled, the monkey fell on hard times and into alcohol and drug use. Then found god and religion and is now the head of a church(somewhere down in Texas, I think) that wants to have creationism taught in the public schools and Evolution outlawed?

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!"

I wasn't allowed to watch this show when it aired, even though I was almost 18 at the time. Something about not suitable for anyone... known to cause retinal scarring or something like that.

My favorite episode from the series was "Spatula Crackers."  Oooh man I laughed SO hard when that aired!

That episode rocked. Especially the part when they had the potato gun chase through the city.
