Monkey - Season 1 (1978)

im 40 years old and i still remember when iwas watching monkey magic back in the late 70,s early 80,s i loved it then and wstching it now is just as enjoyable.

Oh, Monkey! this is a classic show that has become a cult classic, I grew up on this, whats amazing is all the little adult jokes that go right over kids heads but teens( like when I was when this used to be on tv)will get them, a few shocking Japanese sex jokes & themes, like Pigsy with his greed not only for food but his greed for lust(women) even Monkey will sometimes chase the ladies(when drunk!) Pigsy would always say " Oohh monkey, I smell a woman!" but this grown up humour will go by without the kids even noticing, It's a shame they never made any movie versions or a new series based years later as this show was a huge hit around the world. every episode has a moral lesson to learn thru Buddhist philosophy like Tom C said in his review, It takes you to another world.

I never saw this as a kid and this show is pretty bad. So bad it's actually good,, or if nothing else it is funny. You have to enjoy bad special effects, bad fight scenes and bad dubbing to enjoy this show.

An entertaining journey through Buddhist philosophy.

I watched monkey as a kid and now my boy can watch it Truely a cult classic

I watched Monkey as a kid now my boy is

The first 3 eps are a little slow for younger kids (the rest are more "typical", I know) but still brimming with humour and (cheap but effective) action and set-ups.

A great start to this classic TV series.

monkey was one of the great tv show i grow up watching. i think it's still cool today.
