What made you start to watch this cool show? For me it was the Journey to the West cartoon. And when i saw Monkey on the tv guide i regognised they both had the same characters. And yes i loved Monkey after watching it.

believe it or not but it was actually samas who got me into this awesome tv show. he had been talking about finding some 'monkey' episodes in the past but never had any luck. then one day he said to me "i have found it!" so yeah thats my story.

thankyou samas. <3 :P

I think I've already said something about this, but oh well.
I watched a feature length film on Hallmark called 'The Lost Empire' which was about monkey, sandy and pigsy and a 'scholar from above' as they try to save the manuscript of 'Journey to the West'. It was really good, and upon finding Monkey had his own series, I just had to investigate. the first episode I saw was the one with the Blue Wolf demon, and I loved it!

G'day :D ,

My cousin and I were flicking through the channels (as you do when your 8 & 9) and came across this show called Monkey Magic. From then on every single afternoon straight after school we would rush home to watch Monkey. We loved that show so much. Once it had finished we would head downstairs and act out those same scenes. My cousin Aaron was always Monkey and I was tripitaka. My little sister was Pigsy and our Auntie was Sandy.

20 years later I got to hire the DVD of Monkey from the video shop, and I rushed home to play it. My kids were very excited to watch it and I guess to see what the fuss was about. As soon as the song came on I couldn't believe I still knew it. My kids looked at me and said "Mum...is this it? Is there anything else?". I guess they couldn't understand why we loved that show so much.

I hear they are remaking Monkey? Apparently Monkey will be Blonde?

T

its actually just Monkey.

yeah there are some pictures of this floating around somewhere. it looks pretty pov. inmy opiniopn. pigsy has dark hair and you cal difenietly tell for syre that tripi is played by a girl.

omg thats going waaaaaaay back LOL

i got into monkey in the early eighties i grew up for a while in hong kong
not knowing any chinese let alone japanese i watched monkey just for the pictures
and made up my own story
later when we moved back to australia i watched the english versions

I remember it must have been coming up to christmas, and my dad took me to see some lame pantomine version of Alladin which I hated, and when we got home my mother was watching this unbeleivabley amazing tv show and a rock rolled down a hill and turned into a pig monster! (episode 2) I was glued, and talked about the show all night, completely ignoring the lame panto dad had took me to. So I missed the first episode in the origional run, but never missed one after. I must have been about 6 or 7, so I've been a Monkey fan ever since then.

Grew up in rural Australia, where we could only get two channels, one of which was the ABC. They show Monkey after school everyday, which all the kids at school watch and love. I've got the whole DVD collection now and it's still so funny everytime I watch it!!!!

Believe it or not I watched Monkey but didn't really pay attention to it when I watched the dubbed version of the Second JTTW series by TVB i was glued. :D :D :D

I watched the 1980,s series in OZ and my eyes were open to the vastness of emptiness without intelligence, then i was enlightened unto my way ..........zion

ah, the wonder that is tv :)

My mum would sometimes make references to some old t.v show called Monkey. She would tell me about a pig and a monkey and a fish on a quest and I would be like hmm sounds pretty stupid. Then mum rented out a monkey video and I sat down and watched some strange looking characters along with a man played by a girl, some magic, some martial arts and a cloud. I believe my words were this is stupid. But I still reckon its brilliant.
Some things that seem stupid are actually brilliant.







peace B)

like fart jokes! :)

lol, yes, like fart jokes, if they are told by a skilled pro in the art of fart jokes... :P

I love hearing how others got into the show.
My brother and I found it watching tele as kids, they must have been repeats, in the late eighties.. i was very young. always remembered the tune and the name of the show,
I saw Tripitaka find Monkey under a rock/yoke, and free him. he flew around on his cloud- he was so happy- and after that i never looked back. your own cloud to fly around on? changing into a mouse or a wasp to go sneaking around? it doesn't get cooler.
