This should be interesting. XD I'm not sure I can think of three unpopular opinions for Carmen.
WITWICS
1. I'm probably one of the few who is very much against a revival of the show. Remakes just don't work for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I just wanna see reruns of the original, unbeatable classic. ;___; Let it live on as a staple of good kids' TV in the nineties!
2. Probably an unpopular opinion is that I don't like it when the guys dress up as really weird things ... and when they did the can-can with skirts. Too, too weird for me. I was hoping they were just doing the can-can line and kicking their legs in the air, like Sean and Barry did with Greg in You Ain't Nothin' But a House Thief, but instead it was ... blurgh. Brain-breaking!
3. Along the same lines, I don't like some of the really weird Office sketches, like the office shrinking. .___.; And more understandably, the awful head and two-face sketches. You know, in some ways season 1 was more far-out than the later seasons! I don't think they would have dared to do the head and two-face sketches later on. Also, while I'm amused by the polarity sketch, I don't accept it as canon. XD; It only makes sense if the Chief is a robot!
And a bonus addendum: Anything too, too weird/sad is automatically eliminated from my fanfic canon. That includes, but is not limited to, everything bizarre mentioned above, the Dying Informant being attacked by a puppy (which was gross anyway, because didn't it look like the thing was half-in, half-out of his chest? XD;), Mrs. P. moving out and Buddy moving into her place (nooo, Mrs. P., don't go! ;__;), and most of season five in general (except Jeff having a fictional counterpart). Also eliminated are all instances of breaking the fourth wall.
The Monkees
1. I far prefer season 1, and in most of the circles I've been in, people prefer season 2. They like the unrestrained craziness, while I find it too bizarre and gravitate to the more well-structured but still random episodes of season 1.
2. Along those same lines, I prefer season 1 Micky and his season 1 hair. Popular opinion is to love the crazy afro, but I personally think Micky looks much better without it. XD; Also, this confuses me, but doesn't Micky's hair look a lot darker when it's curly? **blinks, wondering if he dyed it.**
... Actually, the only season 2 hair I really like is Mike's. X3 So wavy and soft and fluffy-looking! And Mike had some good season 2 development, unlike Micky. XD; Mike matured further into his role as leader and became more serious and deadpan.
3. I set the show in the present day when I write for it, which is highly unpopular since most people just have it set during the sixties when it was made. Setting it in the present day helps me relate better to it and the characters, and I don't think it takes away from anything.
Yes! I'd accept a revival only as a very last resort, and it would have to have the Carmen-era guys involved. But reruns would be so much love! Hmm, WQED co-produced it, right? I know on the forums WGBH said that they weren't going to reair or release it on DVD, but I wonder if it would be worth asking WQED...
Yeah, that skirt thing was... weird. XD; For the banana one, I'm certain they weren't dressed as bananas; they were just trapped in giant peels... which could be interpreted as a weird h/c scenario?
**runs away from weird Office sketches**
Hmmm, I thought the puppy was just biting him on the neck... XD; (**doesn't want Mrs. P. to go, either**) But yay Jeff! X3
Season 1 of the Monkees certainly sounds better!
And Micky's season 1 hair! **hugs Season 1 Micky**
I dunno, peels seem just as weird to me as bees or Kool-Aid or eggshells. XD
**shivers.** I've watched it two or three times, trying to tell for sure, and to me it kept looking like it was stuck in him. But biting him on the neck is pretty gross too. XD

Wait...is there such a thing as unpopular opinions about WITWICS? XD;
Oh, and the Monkees (though I probably have an idea... **glances pointedly at Season 2 Micky**)
