hahaha... I loved "The Greatest American Hero"! But, yes, I was pretty young when it was on. Seven, maybe..? And I only knew of the Monkees thru their Nickelodeon re-runs in the '80s. My first rock-band obsession.
Hmm, if you watched enough of the episodes (i.e., nearly all of them), you would have heard...well, at least half those songs, at some point. I know "Daily Nightly" was on it (it was in black and white, at the end of an episode once; Micky's afro phase)...so was "Randy Scouse Git" (also afro phase; Micky was wearing what looked to be a Bohemian tablecloth)... "Papa Gene's Blues" was in one of their episodes set on a farm or a hick town..."Shades of Gray" was some weepy episode where they were going to send Davy home to England; he was walking on the beach..."The Door into Summer" was one of their cross-dressing episodes (think it was Davy who had the honors)... OK, I better stop now; this is scary.
But yes. Bubblegum Babylon was strangely fascinating. I had never heard of a Cowsill till then. :)
