This week we talk about what should have been a smash TV show, “Tales of the Gold Monkey”. We talk about the development, the plot, the cast and its influence on other shows. Jonathan from Rotting Flesh Radio is back this week and metagirl lays out another great top 5 list for all you list fans.

I’m so psyched to listen to this. When I was about 12, this was my favorite show for the entire season it was on. A couple years ago I bought the series from a Gold Monkey website. I was rather dismayed at the “recorded off my vcr and transferred to cd” quality discs they sent me, but it was still fun to see the old shows again. Do they hold up well over the years? Well, I guess that would have to be a solid one bark answer.
I did the same thing (bought the series) and while the quality is quite poor the fun and excitement is top-notch! Such a great, fun show. We need more fun shows and less reality/drama/medical/crime shows.
