==Unproduced episode==
[[Category:Monuments and memorials in the United States]]
"Monkees Toy Around" (by: [[Coslough Johnson]]; first draft: [[February 27]], [[1967]])

==Later television episodes==

The Monkees' television series was cancelled after its second season. The group hoped to take the television show in different directions and NBC wanted the show to stay the same; both parties mutually decided to throw in the towel. After the series was canceled NBC contracted with The Monkees to create and broadcast three longer television specials.

''[[33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee]]'' was the first of these longer television productions. It aired on April 14, 1969. The second two planned television specials were never produced. Peter Tork quit the group between the filming of ''33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee'' and its broadcast.

The Monkees returned to broadcast television with ''[[Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees]]'' which was broadcast on ABC on February 17, 1997. All four Monkees appeared in this broadcast and it was very similar to the old television series and was in fact intended to represent episode #781 of the series.

==Notes==
* During the series' original NBC run and during CBS Saturday morning repeats, some episodes were updated with music from the band's current releases. The Monkees ceased releasing new records in 1970, but altered episodes continued on CBS until 1972.
* Some prints of the first season, such as those commonly shown in the [[United Kingdom]] and seen on MTV in the 1980s, use the second season opening credits.
* Many of the episodes, particularly those of the second season, are known by more than one title. This is largely due to the episodes not having their titles shown on screen; and rerun episodes sometimes billed with different titles to that given on the original showings. Occasionally, the early draft titles were confused with the final title; and slogans from promotional advertisements (such as those in [[TV Guide]]) may also be confused with the actual episode title.
*During the Second Season, after "A Coffin Too Frequent," the laugh track was officially dropped.
*A majority of the second season episodes were leftover scripts from the first. This explains the difference in appearances for each of the Monkees. An example of this: '''"The Monkees Blow Their Mind"''' as compared to '''"The Wild Monkees."'''

Unproduced episode

"Monkees Toy Around" (by: Coslough Johnson; first draft: February 27, 1967)

Later television episodes

The Monkees' television series was cancelled after its second season. The group hoped to take the television show in different directions and NBC wanted the show to stay the same; both parties mutually decided to throw in the towel. After the series was canceled NBC contracted with The Monkees to create and broadcast three longer television specials.

33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee was the first of these longer television productions. It aired on April 14, 1969. The second two planned television specials were never produced. Peter Tork quit the group between the filming of 33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee and its broadcast.

The Monkees returned to broadcast television with Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees which was broadcast on ABC on February 17, 1997. All four Monkees appeared in this broadcast and it was very similar to the old television series and was in fact intended to represent episode #781 of the series.

Notes

  • During the series' original NBC run and during CBS Saturday morning repeats, some episodes were updated with music from the band's current releases. The Monkees ceased releasing new records in 1970, but altered episodes continued on CBS until 1972.
  • Some prints of the first season, such as those commonly shown in the United Kingdom and seen on MTV in the 1980s, use the second season opening credits.
  • Many of the episodes, particularly those of the second season, are known by more than one title. This is largely due to the episodes not having their titles shown on screen; and rerun episodes sometimes billed with different titles to that given on the original showings. Occasionally, the early draft titles were confused with the final title; and slogans from promotional advertisements (such as those in TV Guide) may also be confused with the actual episode title.
  • During the Second Season, after "A Coffin Too Frequent," the laugh track was officially dropped.
  • A majority of the second season episodes were leftover scripts from the first. This explains the difference in appearances for each of the Monkees. An example of this: "The Monkees Blow Their Mind" as compared to "The Wild Monkees."
