FEBRUARY 5

1968 — "The Devil And Peter Tork" (prod. #4737) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. EST on NBC as the 52nd episode of The Monkees.

Yardley Of London™ sponsored, and "No Time" written by Hank Cicalo and "Salesman" written by Craig Smith (both produced by Douglas Farthing Hatlelid) were the featured songs.

It received an Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement In A Comedy Series For 1967-68; sadly, it lost out to the Bruce Bilson-directed "Maxwell Smart, Private Eye" segment of Get Smart (NBC/CBS, 1965-70). Ironically, Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso, the writing team who cowrote this and several other Monkees episodes, composed several episodes of Get Smart prior to writing for The Monkees! (Is it any coincidence that three of their previous Monkees scripts, Episode No. 5, “The Spy Who Came In From The Cool”, No. 17, “The Case Of The Missing Monkee”, and No. 26, “Monkee Chow Mein”, were spy-oriented??)

 

1972 — "A Coffin Too Frequent", Episode No. 43 of The Monkees (prod. #4743, first aired on NBC November 20, 1967), was repeated @ noon EST on CBS, with a new song added: "Oklahoma Backroom Dancer," written by Mike Nesmith.
