The Monkees	comment	This article is about The Monkees' TV show; the article about the music is here.The Monkees was about four incredibly clean cut aspiring young musicians with regrettable taste in clothes and haircuts who people on the show treated like they were pierced and tattooed Alternative Rockers. But hey, it was The '60s!This is one of the first American TV series to rely on Meta Fiction and Fourth Wall humor. Some jokes work better when you know a little about each actor's real life. An important part of the show itself was the tension between the cast's need to be taken seriously by their peers and the series' younger-skewing fantasy of being an independent, cool band of best friends. It was a refreshing change from typical TV for many kids in the audience.The series ran two seasons on NBC from 1966 to 1968. The show ended its initial run when the group and the network could not agree on a format for the third season. The band wanted to update the format and make it more like a variety show, while the network wanted to maintain the status quo. NBC decided to pull the plug, but did make an agreement with the band for three television specials to be produced. When the first, the extremely weird 33 1/3 Revolutions per Monkee, bombed in the ratings, plans for the other two specials were cancelled. However, Saturday morning reruns on CBS and ABC were successful. Then in 1986, a marathon showing of the series on MTV produced that network's best ratings to date, propelling the group back into the limelight. Over the next few years, the series would return to syndication on Nick at Nite and a variety of local channels. It's available in its entirety on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray, and as of 2011 the series has been a weekend fixture on over-the-air digital subchannel network Antenna TV, which also occasionally airs Head.

The Monkees / int_10343d98	comment	Beach Bury: In "Here Come the Monkees", the boys (except Davy) are buried side by side up to their necks at the beach. Each has a bucket over his head, and Davy lifts the bucket off so each can sing a tune (to help the Girl of the Week study for her history test).

The Monkees / int_127fc252	comment	Creator Cameo: James Frawley, who directed many episodes of the series (and had previously been an actor), also made cameo appearances in a handful of shows, including a Yugoslav diplomat in "Son of a Gypsy" and Oraculo's assistant Rudy in "Monkees Blow Their Minds". Monkees co-creator Bob Rafelson also appeared in a few episodes: Notably as "The World's Oldest Flower Child" in "The Monkees Race Again." He also does the voiceover about "soul" at the end of the cold open for "The Devil and Peter Tork". Besides writing the pilot episode, Paul Mazursky and Larry Tucker also appeared in the opening scene (Mazursky conducting a man-on-the-street interview with Tucker).

The Monkees / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
The Monkees / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: The creators used Will Rogers, Jerry Lewis and Huntz Hall as archetypes for Mike, Micky and Peter. As the chipper, boyish Limey, Davy also recalled Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits, to the extent that when Noone first saw an episode of the show, he remarked "He does me better than I do!" In "The Monkees At The Movies", the teen idol/beach party movie star was an obvious spoof of Frankie Avalon. note That Frankie found absolutely hilarious to the point of seeking out the boys and praising them for it, and even later becoming a good friend of both Davy and Peter. His name, Frankie Catalina, was even a Stealth Pun of Avalon's name (the largest town on Catalina Island is Avalon). "The Champ" is Muhammad Ali in "Monkees in the Ring". The Monkees Get Out More Dirt briefly features a fellow musician whose appearance seems to be based on Roger McGuinn of The Byrds (the rectangular "Ben Franklin" sunglasses are a dead giveaway).

Moments later, the whole arrangement is quickly forgotten when a show comes on TV that they want to see and everyone rushes to Peter's side (which contains the television set).

However, when we first hear the grandfather speak, his British accent is very mild-to-nonexistent, to the point of almost sounding American, and later, when the charade is falling apart, the grandfather starts sounding...Irish? Ben Wright, who played the grandfather, was a London native, but his father was American.

After The Monkees, Dolenz was cast as Wally, the drummer of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids—who bore a passing resemblance to Dolenz. Joey Forman guest starred in "Monkee Chow Mein" as The Dragonman, a parody of Forman's character Harry Hoo from Get Smartnote who in turn is a parody of Charlie Chan.

He was actually a highly-regarded director of TV commercialsnote among his most notable commercials was the Daisy ad for LBJ, the Keep America Beautiful "Crying Indian" spot, the AMC Rebel "Driving School" spot and Alka-Seltzer's "Spicy Meatball" ad who was hired because the producers wanted a fast-paced show with lots of quick cuts like in a commercial. The Peter Tork-directed "The Monkees Mind Their Manor" is his only directorial credit of any kind. It's actually a pretty entertaining episode, with one of the more memorable supporting characters of the series (Lance Kibbee the Sot) and a Breaking the Fourth Wall moment with Davy confronting series prop man Jack Williams about his cameo as the customs agent.

The Monkees / int_ae06d09b	type	Borrowing the Beatles
The Monkees / int_ae06d09b	comment	Borrowing the Beatles: The band was conceived as a television version of the Beatles, a fact not unnoticed by observers at the time given that the group gained the disparaging nickname "The Pre-Fab Four." Both groups are named after living creatures in Myspeld RÃ¶kband fashion. Although their characters were, by and large, exaggerated versions of their real personalities (with the notable exception of Peter), they also correlated loosely to the four Beatles. Most obviously, Davy was the boyish heartthrob analogue to Paul McCartney, and Peter was the goofy Buttmonkey parallel to Ringo Starr. George Harrison and John Lennon both were subject to Decomposite Character treatment: George's status as the "quiet one" was given to Peter, while Mike took on his stoic, sardonic nature. Mike also got John's role as group leader, while Micky picked up on his other side as chief prankster and chaos agent. The show has several Beatles shout-outs. In "Mijacogeo," the foursome wakes up to an alarm clock/radio blaring the song "Good Morning, Good Morning." In "Success Story," Davy's British grandfather pays a visit, echoing a major plot point in A Hard Day's Night. Many of the song interludes in the show feature the foursome jumping and running around in sped-up fashion, also mirroring the "Can't Buy Me Love" sequences in A Hard Day's Night.

The Monkees / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: One of the first shots in the series was of the Monkees using a Beatles poster as a Dartboard of Hate. In the "Here Come the Monkees" pilot episode, Mike throws a dart which lands on Ringo Starr. This was probably also a Shout-Out to Help!, which begins with a similar scene (except that it was a movie screen showing Beatles footage in the latter case). At the end of Episode 19, the boys give an interview regarding The Sunset Strip Riotsnote In 1966, residents and business owners on the Sunset Strip had enforced a 10 pm curfew, which didn't sit with the youth. The curfew was met with rallies and demonstrations on November 12, 1966 with crowds as big as 1,000, including Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda, who was actually arrested. and when asked about it, the boys spoke their minds, especially with Micky chiming in, â€œThere havenâ€™t really been riots. In actuality, since I was there, there have been demonstrations. But I guess a lot of people, uh, journalists donâ€™t know how to spell â€˜demonstrationâ€™ so they use 'riot' because it only has four letters.â€�

During the song "Papa Gene's Blues" Mike says "Oh, pick it, Luther!", meaning Johnny Cash guitarist Luther Perkins. In the Christmas Episode a quick cutaway shot of Micky at a chalkboard figuring out a math problem reveals the words "Beatles" and "Frodis" written in the corner. Micky says the first thing the Monster/Android needs to be a rock musician is a Beatles haircut. In the song "Gonna Buy Me A Dog," Davy's line "You can't teach a dog to do that; you can only train elephants" is a reference to Micky's childhood role in the series Circus Boy. In one episode there's a joke contrasting Bob Dylan and Marshal Matt Dillon. Micky Dolenz has mentioned many times that the word "Mijacogeo" is a Shout-Out to the names of himself and his immediate family: Micky, his mother Janelle, sister Coco and father George. invoked In "The Monkees Race Again" Micky says "Curse you, Red Baron!"

The clan leaders order the boys to stay on the line that divides the town in two, until Ella Mae Chubber pulls Davy to the side to romance him, prompting her pa to declare that Davy will be Ella Mae's groom in a Shotgun Wedding, at which point Judd Weskitt (who is in love with Ella Mae) kidnaps Davy and takes him back to his cabin. Mike and Micky pretend to be relatives of Judd and Maw Weskitt with a pig as a peace offering to rescue Davy, while Peter stays behind at the Chubbers' place, before later dressing as a mountain man to coach Judd in manners so he can properly court Ella Mae. When Judd shows up at the wedding, a gunfight ensues, and during the crossfire, he and Ella Mae tie the knot, ending the feud.

The Monkees / int_dd891949	type	Who Writes This Crap?!
The Monkees / int_dd891949	comment	Who Writes This Stuff?!: A Running Gag that appears in several episodes. An episode parodying Robinson Crusoe starts with the Crusoe and Man Friday characters watching The Monkees, and Friday saying, "Who writes this stuff?'' Once the band arrives, he would repeat this frequently while watching their antics. A more subtle example occurs in "Monkees a la Mode", which features a character named Rob Roy Fingerhead. Whenever his name is mentioned, Mike and Micky look at each other in disbelief and mouth the words "Rob Roy Fingerhead??" to each other. Not exactly this trope, but in "Dance, Monkee, Dance", Micky is frustrated by a turn of events and stomps off the sound stage, past the cameras and crew, into a back room, and demands that the writers give him an idea to resolve the plot. They do, but he rejects it and returns to the set, complaining that the writers are really overpaid.

The Monkees / int_fa9b0b5c	comment	In fact, apart from the issues concerning food and rent, they seem more like Informed Poverty. Even the house seems kind of eccentric and cool.

The Monkees / int_fe3bf3a4	comment	Four-Man Band: The Only Sane Man: Mike is considered the leader of the group and has the most common sense of the four. The Smart Guy: Micky is usually the one who comes up with all the plans, loopholes and technical repairs. The Charmer: Davy tends to attract a lot of women and even gets distracted by girls himself sometimes. The Butt-Monkey: Peter is the goofball of the group and is often a victim of hilarity.

The Monkees / int_ff473450	type	Failed Audition Plot
The Monkees / int_ff473450	comment	Failed Audition Plot: Spoofed in "Find the Monkees", when Hubbell Benson sends out audition invites to local groups and hears a tape with the Monkees' music. Just when it looks like the Monkees are about to be signed, the homely secretary hums a few bars of Mr. Benson's theme song, and he hires his secretary as the sound he was looking for, leaving the Monkees and other groups disappointed and confused.
