DECEMBER 9, 1972

“Find The Monkees!” (a.k.a. "The Audition"), Episode No. 19 of The Monkees (prod. #4721, first aired on NBC January 23, 1967), was repeated @ 1:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC. This followed the show's 4-week hiatus due to coverage of NCAA Football on The Alphabet Network.

Interesting Note: during the 1972-73 season, ABC had 2 made-for-TV rock groups on its schedule: The Partridge Family (at the time in its 3rd season) on Friday nights (before it moved to Saturday nights in June '73), and rebroadcasts of The Monkees on Saturday afternoons.
