“Monkee See, Monkee Die” (prod. # 4705) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 2nd episode of The Monkees.

The sponsor of the week was Slicker and Black Label by Yardley Of London, and the songs featured were "Last Train To Clarksville" by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart and "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" (erroneously listed as "Tomorrow Is Another Day") by Tommy Boyce & Steve Venet.

This episode marked "Last Train To Clarksville"'s debut appearance on the series. The next 2 episodes would feature the tune, and the prolonged TV exposure would help displace ? and The Mysterians' "96 Tears" to ensure "Last Train To Clarksville"'s status as the first #1 hit for The Monkees for 2 weeks. It was issued on the A-side of the Colgems #66-1001 single on August 16, 1966, well ahead of time--almost 4 weeks before the official NBC debut of The Monkees' TV series!--to accurately time it for weekly network promotion.

"The Picture Frame" (a.k.a. "The Bank Robbery") first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 34th episode of The Monkees.

Yardley Of London originally sponsored this week, and the songs featured were Goffin and King's "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and Micky Dolenz's "Randy Scouse Git."

This was the first episode of The Monkees television series to be produced for its second season.

“I Was A Teenage Monster”, Episode No. 18 of The Monkees (prod. #4725, aired on NBC January 16, 1967), was repeated @ noon (EDT) on CBS, with a new song added: "Good Clean Fun," written by Michael Nesmith.

This launched a 4-year stretch of retelecasts of The Monkees television series on Saturday Afternoons.

“One Man Shy” (a.k.a. "Peter And The Debutante") and “Monkee Mother” both have new behind-the-scenes photos added to them, and the Log Lines of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Kidnappers” and “Don't Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth” get further revamps.

Also removed the Showtime Chart for The Monkees TV series on AXS TV upon learning it's on at various times all week! I merely put up a link to a TV Schedule of showtimes to save myself extra migraines.

"The Monkees Watch Their Feet" (a.k.a. "Micky And The Outer Space Creatures"), Episode No. 49 of The Monkees (prod. #4743, aired on NBC January 15 and September 9, 1968), was repeated at 12:30p.m. (EDT) on CBS.

This retelecast precipitated a second season of repeats of The Monkees television series on CBS Saturdays, taking place on the fourth anniversary of the series debut on NBC.

“The Royal Flush” (prod. #4701) first aired @ 7:30/6:30 p.m. Central Time in Living Color on The NBC Television Network as the premiere episode of THE MONKEES, a comedy-fantasy series from Raybert/Screen Gems TV Productions heavily influenced by The Beatles' movies A Hard Day's Night (United Artists, 1964) and Help! (United Artists, 1965), which reflected the misadventures of an unknown, young, longhaired, modern-dressed group and its dreams on the way to fame and fortune. Produced by Robert Rafelson and Bert Schneider, it starred David Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork, all of whom were chosen from a lot of 437 applicants who answered an ad in the September 8, 1965 issues of The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety.

The sponsor of the week was Kellogg's, and the songs were were Boyce & Hart's "This Just Doesn't Seem To Be My Day" and Goffin & King's "Take A Giant Step." The third Monkees episode to be filmed, "The Royal Flush" was the first to be helmed by James Frawley, an initial member of innovative NYC comedy troupe The Premise, who would go on to direct the bulk of The Monkees' 58 half-hour segments (32 to be exact). Frawley would soon be greatly rewarded for his efforts on "The Royal Flush"; it won the Emmy for Outstanding Directorial Achievement In A Comedy Series for 1966-67.

The success of the TV series and the hit records it helped generate made The Monkees the rage of America, imitating and, at times, even eclipsing The Beatles' own success! The series cranked out 58 episodes for 2 seasons on NBC, finally ending in September 1968. But what a following The Monkees have had during the course of that run: 2 Emmy Awards, 4 #1 hit albums, 3 #1 hit singles, and 2 sold-out concert tours...not to mention the admiration and adulation of fans worldwide, something which continues to thrive to this very day!!
