"Hillbilly Honeymoon" (a.k.a. "Double Barrel Shotgun Wedding") (prod. #4768) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 39th episode of The Monkees.
The sponsor of the week was Kellogg's, and the song of the week was "Papa Gene's Blues", written & produced by Michael Nesmith.
Trivia Footnote: This was the first episode of The Monkees TV series to be filmed after The Monkees completed their summer tour, as well as the episode which introduced the "new-look" Monkees, in which case they employed love beads, shades, paisley gear, Indian boots, and, in Micky Dolenz's case, a huge head of curly Afro hair. As production on the show's second season progressed, Michael Nesmith would also adapt to the "new-look" Monkees phase by abandoning his omnipresent wool hat in favor of shades and neckties.
