MARCH 24, 1973
The Monkees was preempted on ABC by Soul Unlimited. MARCH 25, 1968 "Mijacogeo" (a.k.a. "The Frodis Caper") (prod. #4722) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 58th and final firstrun episode of The Monkees television series. Micky Dolenz cowrites and directs. Kellogg’s™ sponsored the show that week, and the final Monkees song of the series was “Zor And Zam” written by John & Bill Chadwick and produced by The Monkees. It was the second of 2 Monkees-produced tracks used on The Monkees TV show, following the appearance of The Monkees’ 1968 remake of the 1966 Boyce-Hart tune “Valleri” in the previous week's episode, "The Monkees Blow Their Minds". Progressive singer/composer Tim Buckley appeared at show's end (a result of extensive promotion in fan magazines by Micky Dolenz) singing “Song Of The Siren.” In addition to being the second Monkee-directed episode this season (following the Peter Tork-helmed "The Monkees Mind Their Manor"), "Mijacogeo" (a.k.a. "The Frodis Caper") is also the only episode of the whole Monkees series to be scriptwritten by a Monkee. MARCH 25, 1972 “The Prince And The Paupers”, Episode No. 21 of The Monkees (prod. #4733, first aired on NBC February 6, 1967) was repeated @ noon EST on CBS, with a new song added: "99 Pounds," written by Jeff Barry. MARCH 27, 1967 “The Monkees On The Line” (prod. #47??) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 28th episode of The Monkees. The sponsor this week was Kellogg’s™, and the featured tune was “Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)” written by Neil Diamond and produced by Jeff Barry. Trivia Footnote: It was the final episode of The Monkees to be completed for its first season, as well as the last episode to bear the musical supervising stamp of Don Kirshner, who, after releasing the "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"/"She Hangs Out" (#66-1003, withdrawn!) single against a 50% Monkee-control rule, was bounced from The Monkees' project. MARCH 27, 1971 “Monkee Mother”, Episode No. 27 of The Monkees (prod. # 47??, aired on NBC March 20 and August 28, 1967) was repeated @ 12:30p.m. EST on CBS. Trivia Footnote: This repeat came exactly 7 days after the date of its original telecast on NBC 4 years prior. MARCH 28, 1970 “Find The Monkees” (a.k.a. "The Audition"), Episode No. 19 of The Monkees (prod. # 4721, aired on NBC January 23, 1967) was repeated @ noon EST on CBS. |
