OCTOBER 17, 1966

“The Success Story” (prod. #4710) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 6th episode of The Monkees.

 

It was sponsored by Slicker and Black Label by Yardley Of London, and its soundtrack was pervaded by the tunes "I Wanna Be Free" by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart and "Sweet Young Thing" by Michael Nesmith, Gerry Goffin & Carole King.

 

Trivia Footnote: The Hollywood Squares, Heatter-Quigley's tic-tac-toe game of the stars hosted by Peter Marshall, debuted on NBC Daytime on the same date as this episode's telecast. One of The Squares' regulars, Rose Marie, would be featured in two episodes of The Monkees television show in its first season. The Monkees themselves (sans Peter Tork) would be seen crammed into a Square for Christmas Week in December 1968.
