First MF&TVV Update Of The New Year 2022 Anno Domini
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Happy Monkee New Year!!

And here we are, the very first Monkees Film & TV Vault Update on the very first Pleasant Valley Saturday of The New Year 2022 A.D.; which means the Monkees Film & TV Vault New Year's HTML decor has been taken down in favor of the regular page.

We close the door on The Monkees' 55th Anniversary year of 2021 and open another to embrace a Monkees-related milestone of a different kind! This year, as a lot of you know, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Monkees Film & TV Vault, The World Wide Web's leading comprehensive guide to The Monkees' filmed work, on TV and the big screen, hence the presence of the special Monkees Film & TV Vault Silver Anniversary masthead, which will be prominently featured on the front index across the Silver Jubilee Year of 2022 A.D.

Final MF&TVV Updates For The Year Of Our Lord 2021 Anno Domini
Mood:  party time!
Topic: Happy Monkee New Year!!

Welp...there're only 6 days remaining in The Year 2021 Anno Domini. It's all come down to this, hasn't it? Man...where did the time go??

Which means The Monkees Film & TV Vault's New Year's page is back in the fold, but with a twist: the introduction of the special Monkees Film & TV Vault Silver Anniversary masthead on the front page! Yeah, I've been dropping hints of its impending 25th year online in the special cover art displayed in the Facebook MF&TV page and adjoining group and the MF&TVV Groups.io newsgroup for quite a bit now, but the masthead makes is first appearance on the actual site itself for this monumental milestone. Also, updated a portion in THE MONKEES (NBC, 1966-1968) pertaining the end of the series 4-year run in repeats on FETV--Family Entertainment Television, updated a production note in “The Monkees In Manhattan” (a.k.a “The Monkees Manhattan Style”), recreated the Memorial on the front page (using the 1966 "Director's Chair" still of the late David Jones, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith arranged in the order of their deaths), and gave Episode No. 6, “The Success Story” (prod. #4710, aired on NBC October 17, 1966 and May 29, 1967), the privelege of being the last Featured Monkees Episode Of 2021.

Here's wishing you and The Monkees Film & TV Vault's Silver Jubilee year of 2022 to be a safe, healthy...

Tonight's MF&TVV Update
The MONKEES EPISODE INTERVIEWS undergoes even further revamping to the tune of the Franklin Gothic fonts Condensed and Book, except for the front page, whose opening remarks (by Madame Spy) remains in Times New Roman out of respect for the pages' original home, Monkees Pad.

Today's MF&TVV Updates
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Season's Greetings!

This week's Featured Monkees Episode is No. 47, "The Monkees Christmas Show" (a.k.a. "The Christmas Story") (prod. #4746, aired on NBC December 25, 1967), in observance of The Big Day this coming Saturday!

Also, HTML in all the episode pages of Monkees episodes with alternate titles (including “Here Come The Monkees” [Original Pilot Film] and the special  Hey Hey It's The Monkees [a.k.a. "A Lizard Sunning Itself On A Rock"] [one of whose Trivia Notes has been updated to reflect Michael Nesmith's passing]) has been altered to enable the large type (the acutal title) and the smaller type (the alternate tite) to press together closer.

As always, here's wishing all of you...

 

SEASON'S GREETINGS!!!

Today's (Rather Somber) MF&TVV Update

As many of you know, another Monkee wrench has been pitched into the works: the recent death of series regular/lead guitarist Robert Michael Nesmith, 20 days away from his 79th birthday.

As a result, The Monkees Film & TV Vault Christmas page has gone black in his honor, and this shall run for a week.

In Memoriam: ROBERT MICHAEL NESMITH (1942-2021)
Mood:  sad
Topic: Save travels, Nez...
Well...the day we dreaded as fans has unfortunately arrived. A Monkee wrench which has not only thrown a damper on our holiday season, but reduced The Monkees, the greatest made-for-television rock band ever assembled, to next to nothing.

Robert Michael Nesmith, The Monkees' equivalent to John Lennon, has, 20 days before his 79th birthday, hung up his wool hat...for the last time. (How ironic that he pass a good 2 days after the anniversary of Lennon's death!) Nesmith joins former mates David Jones (1945-2012) and Peter Tork (1942-2019) in that Monkee beach pad in The Great Beyond...where they are currently hard at work rehearsing for the ultimate: The Monkees Heavenly Tour.

Thus leaving Micky Dolenz as Last Monkee Standing. (Nothing more depressing than being saddled with that distinction...)

Nesmith was a man with many hats---Monkee, Christian Scientist, National Band front man, composer, solo artist, inheritor of Liquid Paper, video pioneer, movie producer----and he wore them well. Despite being saddled with his own business obligations, he always found time for appearing occasionally with his former mates during their many reunion tours from 1986 thru the recent 55th Anniversary Farewell Tour. Nesmith even wrote and directed the group's 1997 reunion special on ABC, Hey Hey It's The Monkees (a.k.a. "A Lizard Sunning Itself On A Rock"); it turned out to be the last nationally televised original appearance of The Monkees as a quartet.

They've always been there for us.

For over half of a century....they have thrilled us with their weekly adventures, amused us with their comedy, and entertained us with their music. Their popularity has journeyed beyond imagination. Their name has become legend. The quartet, the finest ever assembled. We have travelled beside them for one corner of the earth to the other. They have been our guides...our protectors...our babysitters...our jukeboxes...our inspiration...and our friends. Now, as we mourn the loss of a Monkee for the third time, we take solace in the fact that they have shared a lot of their talents with us, and will continue to, for numerous generations of Monkeedevotees to come.

To put it bluntly, David, Peter, Micky and Michael gave us the best years of our lives.

Thanks for the music, mirth, madness and mayhem, Michael. And say hi to David, Peter and Phyllis for us ...
 

In Fondest Memoriam:
ROBERT MICHAEL NESMITH

(December 30, 1942 - December 10, 2021)
