The Monkees' motion picture HEAD (prod. #8888) got another shot at audiences to boost ticket sales, opening in a city-wide engagement at 16 theaters and drive-ins in Los Angeles, California, 2 weeks after its West Coast Premiere there at The Vogue Theater. Added to run with the movie as a double feature (limited to the Pacific drive-ins and a handful of theaters) is the then-recent Columbia crime comedy Duffy starring James Coburn. This run lasts 6 days, then the movie would experience another new run in New York City, the site of its World Premiere Engagement.
At this point, Peter Tork had left the band and Raybert Productions had all but severed ties to the remaining trio in the wake of HEAD’s failure; their final managerial commitment to their group was to book them on Heatter-Quigley Productions' tic-tac-toe game to the stars, The Hollywood Squares (NBC, 1966-80), for Christmas week.
"The Monkees In Texas" (prod. #4761) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC as the 45th episode of The Monkees.
Kellogg's sponsored the show this week, and "Words" written by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart and "Goin' Down" written by Diane Hilderbrand, Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz & David Jones were the songs featured.
“I've Got A Little Song Here” (prod. #4707) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC as the 12th episode of The Monkees.
Slicker and Black Label by Yardley Of London was the sponsor, and "Gonna Buy Me A Dog" written & produced by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart, and "Mary, Mary" written & produced by Michael Nesmith, were the songs used this week.
"Hitting The High Seas" (prod. #4762) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC as the 44th episode of The Monkees.
