Viewing Game
You know you're watching too much “Space Monkeys” when…
Young lady…You are sitting in my chair!

Viewing Game
by David Riches

Since this show is on so early on weekend mornings and so rife with satire and parody and popular culture, it seemed only a matter of time before some one came up with a viewing game for the series.

Unfortunately, no one seemed to produce one so in a rather dazed sugar rushed state I felt the torch fall to me to do something about this. So we finally get version 1.0 of the Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys Viewing Game.

As the usual venue, points are awarded for everytime an action occurs on screen on the program. One point equals one serving of whatever is agreed upon before hand. Person with most points at the agreed upon end wins the game.

Personal view here suggests that since the show is on so early on the weekends that you use Kellogg's Froot Loops and that you play until the quote in the end credits. If playing from a tape then try three episodes in a row to fill out an hour and try going easy on the cereal.

Some people eat out of the box, some give each person equal bowlfuls to start with using a measured spoon to equal a serving point. Some others use other item like M & M's, Corn Pops, Kool-Aid Pops, Skittles, glossettes mixtures (raisins, peanuts, etcetera.), Pringles potato chips, navel orange segments (fresh or dried) (beware vitamin C overdoses), a beverage, or possible other easily configured consumable items.
