On this Pleasant Valley Sunday, as we observe the 54th anniversary of the World Premiere of The Monkees' motion picture HEAD in New York City, this week's Featured Monkees Episode is the very last, the Micky Dolenz-cowritten/directed Episode No. 58, "Mijacogeo" (a.k.a. "The Frodis Caper") (prod. #4770, first aired on NBC March 25, 1968). I picked it on noticing that I never get to regularly feature this episode.

Also, updated/corrected a Guest Cast Note in “The Monkees At The Movies” to reflect the recent passing of guest Linda Albertano.

 "The Monkees Marooned" (prod. #4755) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on NBC as the 40th episode of The Monkees.

It was sponsored by Yardley Of London™, and the songs, produced by Chip Douglas, were “Daydream Believer” written by John Stewart and "What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round" (in an alternate version with an extended fade) written by Michael Murphy.

Trivia Footnote: This was the last filmed episode of The Monkees to feature Michael Nesmith speaking with his old voice; he went to have a tonsillectomy right after "The Monkees Marooned" wrapped.

Mood:  celebratory

I simply cannot imagine a more fitting and appropriate Monkee Monday than this.

This web site, THE MONKEES FILM & TV VAULT, a comprehensive web companion to The Monkees' celluloid history, launched on this day a full 25 years ago, a Pleasant Valley Friday, October 24, 1997. Truly a red-letter date in Internet history.

To celebrate, a special new page, The Monkees Film & TV Vault's Silver Celebration, has been added, which provides a nice, detailed trip down MF&TVV Memory Lane. I already provided a link to it just below the masthead on the front page. It owes a great deal to the ORIGIN OF THE MF&TVV page, but with much more thoroughness.

More than ever, you surfers and fellow Monkeedevotees for your support and loyalty which enabled this site to go, flow, grow, drive, thrive and survive during its quarter-century odyssey on The World Wide Web cannot be thanked enough!

Beginning the next 25 years (or so)...
