How about that Cheez TV chaps

Monkey was the best show on Cheez TV.

IIRC, the ABC in the early/mid-80s had the greatest line-up of all-time from 5pm:

- The Goodies
- Monkey
- Dr. Who

And some Roger Ramjet and maybe Batfink! in between...

Degrassi
Count Duckula
Trapdoor
Danger Bay
Grimm Tales
The Goodies

I was just about to say I ****ed up because I forgot DBZ

Cool. Study, girlfriend etc must have diverted me away. But seriously courtesy of a one-time friendship with the ethnic Chinese/Vietnamese fruit shop owner who used to have a shop near us I've seen quite a few DVDs of Asian ghost/demon films. King Monkey appears a lot but not the happy, semi-loyal character from Monkey. The feel of that show can't be recreated, it wasn't even the same when the Pigsy actor changed.

I read the original story recently (Journey to the West) - more of a kids thing but still humorous & entertaining. Lots of "Oh, dear Monkey" even after he'd mangled someone. And at the end of each chapter, something like: "And what do you think happened next? You will have to read the next chapter to find out".

I was just about to say I stuffed up because I forgot DBZ

Wish they played it in full though. My childhood would have been full of sack puns.

You don't know the struggles of growing up watching shows with protagonists who have physically impossible to imitate edgy hairstyles

The Johnny Cage actor is on some western on TV. Here I was thinking he was a one movie wonder.
