Welcome to Season 1 of The Monkees<\/em><\/a> TV Show Episode Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Season 1 of The Monkees<\/a><\/em> debuted on NBC September 12, 1966 and ended April 24, 1967. Below are summaries of each episode with songs, dates, quotes, and credits. Coming soon will be detailed pages for each episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monkees TV show<\/a><\/strong> is owned by Rhino\/Time Warner. If you would like to purchase The Monkees TV series, it is currently available on Blu-Ray on the Rhino\/Time Warner store: The Monkees Complete TV Series Blu-Ray<\/a>. Thank you to Sunshine Factory<\/a> for the transcribed scripts and screen shots used for all of this artwork!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Meet The Monkees<\/em>: <\/strong>four young, plucky, out-of-work musicians, with long-hair and groovy clothes, who live together in a ramshackle California beach house in the 1960s, and often find themselves in madcap adventures and unexpected romance as they try to carve out a life for themselves different than their parents generation and struggle to make it as a band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

British Davy Jones stands at only 5\u20193\u201d, but this heartthrob and hero has never let his small stature stand between him and his various love interests, facing an adversary, or charming his way out of a conflict; Los Angeles native Micky Dolenz is zany and adventurous, and often uses comedy, caricatures, and his science-driven mind to devise elaborate schemes, maneuver his way out of crazy situations, and get the band out of trouble; Texan Michael Nesmith is the cool, calm, collected-under-pressure de facto leader of the group, the rational problem solver and mature voice of reason, with deadpan delivery of humor and a reassuring confidence; and Connecticut native Peter Tork is the sensitive, earnest neurodivergent, musically gifted but socially awkward, ironically charming in his unavoidable sincerity, showing how to see the world with childlike wonder with his literal perception and innocent heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, these four men show that even if they have long hair, weird mishaps, and an unconventional lifestyle, \u201cthey\u2019re just trying to be friendly\u201d, and are \u201ctoo busy singing to put anybody down.\u201d They\u2019re the young generation\u2014and they\u2019ve got something to say! \ud83d\udcfa \ud83c\udfb8\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foggy season? What are ya\u2014foggy season? When is that?

MICKY: <\/strong>
Hey Davy! Come here. Take a look at this. Yes. And so you see, if you examine the angle of the blade, you will notice that it is precisely two centimeters north of the standard control latitude, proving conclusively that the murderer was, indeed, a man.
DAVY:<\/strong>
Could it have been a woman<\/em>?

Yes, that is<\/em> another possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um, um, Doctor Mendoza? I-I sort of assume that you want us to teach your friend rock and roll.

That\u2019s right. Rock and roll really appeals to the little monster.

Over twenty years.

Him too.

The circus is a tradition, and it\u2019s a tradition to the children also. The kids\u2019ll come back to the circus; all you have to do is be here when they do.

How do you do? I\u2019m Doctor Dolenz. Terrible about Medicare, isn\u2019t it?

Never mind about that. Examine him, doctor. What I want to know is, is he really sick, or is it merely sham?

Of course, he\u2019s sick; he had sham when he was twelve years old.

Just a minute. If you examine that man, I surrender all responsibility to this case.

Ah, barging in on a man\u2019s case. Hm-hm. I think the ethics practice committee would like to hear about this.

PHILO<\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong>
Boys, say hello to Luther Kramm. Mr. Kramm gave you Beach Party Honeymoon<\/em>.
<\/em>PETER<\/strong>:<\/strong>
You didn\u2019t give it to us; we had to pay for it.
<\/em>MIKE<\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong>
Yeah, it costs us eighty cents at the drive-in.

Well, it was worth it, wasn\u2019t it?
<\/em>MIKE<\/strong>:<\/strong>
Um\u2026 you owe me sixty cents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KRAMM<\/strong>:<\/strong>
This isn\u2019t just another beach movie. This is a cinema landmark! It\u2019s about sadness, and pain, and cruelty: all the things that make life worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PETER<\/strong>:<\/strong>
He has no right to act that way. Who does he think he is?
<\/em>MICKY<\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong>
No longer shall we suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous Catalina. On the morrow, we will show that popinjay he doth abused The Monkees at his own peril.
<\/em>PETER<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong>
What does that<\/em> mean?

It means The Monkees strike back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MICKY<\/strong>:<\/strong>
What the industry wants to know, Kramm, is who\u2019ll be replacing Frankie Catalina?
<\/em>MIKE<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong>
After all, you are<\/em> the greatest judge of acting talent in Hollywood, and you know your own mind.

Well, I\u2019m, uh, I\u2019m thinking of using Terry Bishop.

That no talent\u2014
<\/em>MICKY<\/strong>:<\/strong>
He\u2019s no Davy Jones.

Or, uh, perhaps Tony Davenport.

You\u2019re right, L.K.; he\u2019s a great disc jockey.

Not the disc jockey, Davy Jones!

MIKE<\/strong>:<\/strong>
Peter stated it real well. Your life when you go out on the road turns into an endless tunnel of just limousines and airplanes and hotel rooms. And all of a sudden there\u2019s one brief period of light, and that\u2019s when you walk out there on the stage, you know. And it all seems worthwhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PETER<\/strong>:<\/strong>
After a concert, my ears are ringing for\u2026 around twelve hours, and after a number of days of this kind of thing, you, you really need some absolute quiet for a while. And, uh, it\u2019s not, it\u2019s not fun to avoid<\/em> people all the time, you\u2026 spend all your time running from, that\u2019s nowhere. So, you, you walk, just, uh, a little green, and a little quiet, you hope, if you can find it any place. Helps if you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many days\u2014I\u2019ve lost, man, I lose track of time. I don\u2019t know what\u2014I couldn\u2019t tell you what day it was today. I, you know, you got every\u2014at home, you got everything worked out from hour to hour or from minute to minute. Here, you know, you, you don\u2019t what you\u2019re gonna do. Like, uh, I got up this morning at eleven o\u2019clock, and I went over there and played with the damn\u2014with the swan<\/em> for an hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MICKY<\/strong>:<\/strong>
This morning, I went to this house that, uh, a man had built all by himself, and I really got hung up on it, \u2019cause, uh, when I was a kid, I, I used to build a lot of things. And I know I\u2019ve got a lot going for me with the music and the show and everything, but, but still, uh, someday, I\u2019d, I\u2019d like to make something, something that\u2019ll last.

We\u2019d like to thank everybody for making it a wonderful stay. We\u2019d like to thank the Rolling Stones for being a great group. We\u2019d like to thank the Mamas and Papas for making it good.
