I was so glad the Monkees did this special. It was well-produced and well-liked by the critics. I made darn sure that my grade-school kids watched this and tapes of the 60s TV show. I wanted them to enjoy the Monkees like I did when I was their age. I grew more fond of them than I did the Beatles because I got to visit them once a week. We were lucky to see anything from the Beatles once a year. Kudos to the Monkees. You had a good run.
que hermoso es volver a ver a mis Monkees tan maravillosos y de grande yo los vi de jóvenes tan lindos ahora acá los veo maduritos pero siguen con su encanto natural están en mí corazón por siempre.
Man! How did I miss this in 97? I would have loved to have seen this. Their story is the most unique story ever. They started out not as a real Rock group, but Evolved into one. (Pardon the Pun) And they just get better with age. I always in a way felt sorry for them because they so wanted respect in the Rock world. In some small way they achieved some respect. No it will never be on the level of the Stones or even the Kinks, but you know they were what they were.
Oh boy... I worked on this show. The first time they tried to shoot this scene on the beach, a lite drizzle turned into a full out rain. We had to cancel the shoot and head indoors & scramble to shoot the "Throw Up" scene.
I understand the thing about taking down parts of the episode. I got suspendeded b/c I posted the entire Six Million Dollar Man pilot movie called "The Moon and the Desert." But I remember the night this came on. It was the year before we got DirecTV, and we were still using an aerial for TV. The nearest ABC affiliate to us was 3 hrs away in Pittsburgh. I was all over town looking for someone with cable!!!
Some say it was the TV show that hurt them, others say it was the deception. I think it could have been a combination of a lot of things. But the bottom line was the music. I forever believe that if the "Monkees" could have written and produced some really cool songs on their own, none of that other stuff would have mattered. The songs they had just were not up to par. Although Nesmith wrote some pretty good stuff like "Listen to the Band." "Sunny Girlfriend" "Circle Sky".
gracias por devolverme a mis Monkees estoy en Argentina y me encantaría lo pasarán en algún canal otro vez .Gracias por poder verlos en mí celular la próxima en castellano por favor y Gracias
@bradpix Nice to have details about the shoot. The Monkees Show was the very first TV series I watched on my own and wasn't tuned in because my parents watched it.
am I the only one who thinks Mike's "once every 5 years or so" comment was his way of hinting at the band's disgust of the scripts from the old series?
Peter: No Sandwich if the pig talks sandwiches wouldn't work. ROFL! Woman: Once, hundreds of years ago, four guys moved into this house and went crazy, and never moved out. ROFL! Great story. :)
Davy Jones the heartthrob of the 60's. What was so amazing to me was the Shirley Jones being his mother. I use to watch Hay Hay with "The Monkees", every Saturday morning. I just wish I still had my Monkees lunch box that I had back in them days!
Oohkay. Shirley Jones was not Davys mom. Shirley was David Cassidy's Stepmom and also played his mom on TV. Davy's mom Doris died when Davy was 14 - in England
Shirley Jones was the Step-mother of David Cassidy and the mother of Shaun Cassidy. David Bowie changed his name from Jones to Bowie because of the popularity of Davey Jones.
Shirley Jones was David Cassidy's stepmother. She was not related to Davy Jones. I remember this special, I just wish all 5 parts were uploaded. Part 4 is still missing. This special had to do with the release of their album Justus ( the last one with all 4 members) I will miss Davy Jones so much. thanks for posting.
I think Mike was their writing strength. If they had just gave him Cart blanch on the music and working with the group you might have seen somthing a little better. But this was their destiny.
Nesmith, at the time I'm typing this, is on tour with the First National Band and doing conventions like the badass he is. Dolenz is hot on twitter. Peter is on Facebook. Davy is on Heaven Wifi; just pray, he'll get your message.
@squirm13 send link - i can tell ya..... There was a Disney biography out at the time, this TV special, and a VHS called "JUSTUS"; each very different from each other.
@squirm13 i was saying there were THREE things out at that time - the tv special which pretended it was just another Monkees episode, 30 years later (i have a copy i taped from tv when it was one, then there is the commercially-released Rhino VHS called JUSTUS, and then theres the Disney special bio called "Hey hey We're The Monkees". I've been collecting since 74, I'd be happy to help with any questions if I can! Dyu have all the albums yet?
@teresarushlo2009 - Dude, seriously? Shirely Jones, the american actress, is only 11 years older than Davy. NOT his mother. Jones is a common name. There are lots of people in Hollywood that are not all related.
@RevSpike i have a biography from uk channel 4, which was very in depth, and another one, but not seen the disney one, or the justus one, which i will probably get.
@cleancab Out of all four of them, Mike tended to be the one who didn't want to do reunions. Given that he probably inherited his mom's inheritance for Liquid Paper (Yes, she invented it) among other business successes, it would be to do it more for love). He wasn't the first one to leave the band though - it actually was Tork.
@JobinatGH And for that matter, David Bowie's deal name is David Jones. Do you think that Shirley is also his mother? Or that he used to be a Monkee? Please do your research before posting, don't spread ignorance.
Yeah! Mike is all changed, even his voice has changed, the tone, the accent and all. Everything that I love about him is gone.... :( Good thing at least Micky is still good ol' Micky! :D
RUclips took them down. I can't re-upload them without risking complete suspension, so I'm leaving these parts up so that some of it is here at least. ;/
They all has musical talent in the 60's but the producers (the money backing the show) wanted to be safe and hire writers and musicians. I always liked them. I had the hand puppet!
The taller guy is Michael Nesmith? If he is he looks so different as when was young, the rest haven't change much, just look older, but all still look cute.
I was so glad the Monkees did this special. It was well-produced and well-liked by the critics. I made darn sure that my grade-school kids watched this and tapes of the 60s TV show.

que hermoso es volver a ver a mis Monkees tan maravillosos y de grande yo los vi de jóvenes tan lindos ahora acá los veo maduritos pero siguen con su encanto natural están en mí corazón por siempre.
it good to see them hang out togther singing and having fun Rip davey love the monkees then,now and forever god is great all the time
RIP not only Peter, but Papa Nes 🙏
Davy as Ethel Merman: PURE GOLD. Miss ya, honey.
As he plays this lovely woman, Davy looked like somebody beloved grandmother, don't worry I meant that in a good way.
Wow! Davy as Ethel Merman I couldn't stop laughing:)
Man! How did I miss this in 97? I would have loved to have seen this. Their story is the most unique story ever. They started out not as a real Rock group, but Evolved into one.

A sad day for all... RIP Davy Jones.
I saw you live in concert in Melbourne Australia many years ago....!
he will for ever be in our heart's r.i.p Davey u will be missed
@kurtbaird--Such a great idea! What a wonderful teacher!
Such good times!❤
"This is the 3rd dimension, wich is normal. Well... monkees normal."
@cleancab - Actually, Nez wrote and directed the program. It had also been his idea to do "JustUs" as well.
Hard to believe 3 of them are gone now.
@3:15 " We're the Monkees " yes they will always be my boys :)
I love how Peter copys Chico when he starts playing the piano.
Hey Mickey So sorry bout Davy Am watching old talk shows when reunion happened U we're the true talent And I loved u growing up
Oh boy... I worked on this show. The first time they tried to shoot this scene on the beach, a lite drizzle turned into a full out rain. We had to cancel the shoot and head indoors & scramble to shoot the "Throw Up" scene.
How’d they interact offscreen?
Thanks for having it here. I wouldn't have known it existed if not for you.
I understand the thing about taking down parts of the episode. I got suspendeded b/c I posted the entire Six Million Dollar Man pilot movie called "The Moon and the Desert."

"we just need to do MUSIC!"
liked.
It really is. They took down parts one and two. If I ever find the damn thing again, I'll try and get it up somewhere else...
This is pretty good...
Typical Monkey madness!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
Love the 60's Monkeemobile.
How could I forget Davy in drag!
Davy always looks way too good as a woman.
Now it looks a way too suspicious. Personally, I can not find his number an amusing one.
you may be confused....Shirley Jones IS the step mom of David Cassidy and the mom to his 1/2 brother Shawn Cassidy...both singers/actors in the 70's.
The 4 dimension to me seems cool and "Flash back " :)
gracias por devolverme a mis Monkees estoy en Argentina y me encantaría lo pasarán en algún canal otro vez .Gracias por poder verlos en mí celular la próxima en castellano por favor y Gracias
@bradpix Nice to have details about the shoot. The Monkees Show was the very first TV series I watched on my own and wasn't tuned in because my parents watched it.
am I the only one who thinks Mike's "once every 5 years or so" comment was his way of hinting at the band's disgust of the scripts from the old series?
@solidfoamsoul thanks so much for keeping up what you have, I'm enjoying watching it :)
Peter: No Sandwich if the pig talks sandwiches wouldn't work.
ROFL!
Woman: Once, hundreds of years ago, four guys moved into this house and went crazy, and never moved out.
ROFL! Great story. :)
good this is the Monkees after 30 odd years and look good.
Davy Jones the heartthrob of the 60's. What was so amazing to me was the Shirley Jones being his mother. I use to watch Hay Hay with "The Monkees", every Saturday morning. I just wish I still had my Monkees lunch box that I had back in them days!
Oohkay.
Shirley Jones was not Davys mom.
Shirley was David Cassidy's Stepmom and also played his mom on TV. Davy's mom Doris died when Davy was 14 - in England
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Omg It's "The Most Prestigious Country Club In the World"!
For Reals!
Davy dressed in drag a couple of times. check out the episode, "Some Like It Lukewarm". He was in drag for most of that one.
This is not a pipe... This is not a band... ROFL!
The other guys dressed up in drag in the old show too. This time it was Davy's turn.
Shirley Jones was the Step-mother of David Cassidy and the mother of Shaun Cassidy. David Bowie changed his name from Jones to Bowie because of the popularity of Davey Jones.
Davy as Ethel Merman. Holy crap on toast!
Okay, the scary part is that Davy looked just like my Great Aunt Ginny... scary shit man, scary shit
Who in their right mind stands on a beach wishing they were in antarctica?
awesome. I love these guys!!! :)
how the hell did I miss this !
mel Brookes should have been involved with this the Monkees really still had it so many years later
Shirley Jones was David Cassidy's stepmother. She was not related to Davy Jones. I remember this special, I just wish all 5 parts were uploaded. Part 4 is still missing. This special had to do with the release of their album Justus ( the last one with all 4 members) I will miss Davy Jones so much. thanks for posting.
In it's own way - just as strange as 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee! Saw this back in 1997. WHY won't they release this on DVD?!?
"Day Dream Beliver" is the Monkees best recorded effort in my opinion.
I think Mike was their writing strength. If they had just gave him Cart blanch on the music and working with the group you might have seen somthing a little better. But this was their destiny.
And Davey....we will miss him.
@teresarushlo2009 Shirley Jones is the mother of David & Shawn Cassidy. David was on The Partridge Family with her and Shawn had a solo career.
Wrong "heartthrob" - Shirley Jones was the STEPmother of fellow heartthrob David Cassidy ("The Partridge Family").
The Monkees Alive at present: Micky Donlez, Peter Tork, (Michael Nesmith??), Dead: David (Davy) Jones.
Nesmith, at the time I'm typing this, is on tour with the First National Band and doing conventions like the badass he is. Dolenz is hot on twitter. Peter is on Facebook. Davy is on Heaven Wifi; just pray, he'll get your message.
Micky and Mike are touring as a duo for the month of June.
There is a dvd with this title, i dont know if it is this, it is all over the place, ebay etc.
Really, beside, Davy Jones's mother died in England, when Davy was fourteen years old.
@JadenYukifan28 Why would Mike Nesmith force you -tube to take down this tv special from 1997?
arr, rest in Peace Davy lad x
1:40 Arctic Monkees? I videotaped this at the time, but I didn't have great reception, so it was a bit grainy. Still, it was very good.
@squirm13 send link - i can tell ya..... There was a Disney biography out at the time, this TV special, and a VHS called "JUSTUS"; each very different from each other.
I love these guys but, seriously, their legs need some serious sun! How can four guys who live in a beach house be so darned pale?!
*joking!*
@squirm13 i was saying there were THREE things out at that time - the tv special which pretended it was just another Monkees episode, 30 years later (i have a copy i taped from tv when it was one, then there is the commercially-released Rhino VHS called JUSTUS, and then theres the Disney special bio called "Hey hey We're The Monkees". I've been collecting since 74, I'd be happy to help with any questions if I can! Dyu have all the albums yet?
@jcall811 That's because that just so Monkees to do that...If you don't get it, it can't be explained to you.
I hope Rhino releases this on DVD at some point!!
@teresarushlo2009 - Dude, seriously? Shirely Jones, the american actress, is only 11 years older than Davy. NOT his mother. Jones is a common name. There are lots of people in Hollywood that are not all related.

Davy IS MISSED DEEPLY! :'(
And Peter now too.

Yeah! Mike is all changed, even his voice has changed, the tone, the accent and all. Everything that I love about him is gone.... :( Good thing at least Micky is still good ol' Micky! :D
carocatho I think he has his twang, not as strong though.
@@angelashock9837 Still told I have my twang even after years in exile (!)But I know it's not as strong.
RUclips took them down. I can't re-upload them without risking complete suspension, so I'm leaving these parts up so that some of it is here at least. ;/
@solidfoamsoul Shirley Jones is Shaun Cassidy's mother, David Cassidy's step mother. She is American, and very clearly NOT Davy Jones' mother.
davy is just so cute
Davy as Ethel wtf!
They all has musical talent in the 60's but the producers (the money backing the show) wanted to be safe and hire writers and musicians. I always liked them. I had the hand puppet!
@cleancab I highly doubt that. Mike's mom invented Liquid Paper. When she died in 1980, she left half of her $47 million to him.
@solidfoamsoul Sirley Jones is David Cassidy's step mom!
Yeah, but it provided quite a chuckle!
@WhovianRentPhan13 Actually, he looks better than I do with or without makeup. Shiver, even moreso now for the fright factor.
Even in the 90 Davy will always be a good looking woman
The taller guy is Michael Nesmith? If he is he looks so different as when was young, the rest haven't change much, just look older, but all still look cute.
The 4th dimension reminded me a bit of Elephant Parts
i swear that i have this on vhs!!!
cool, so how was it working with the monkees?
we need part 4 so we can see Chuck Woolery coming out
r.i.p davy
Davy has nice legs, and he still could play a nice looking woman, some like it hot.
WHAT HAPPEND TO PART 4?? OF THIS VIDEO?!!! IT GOES FROM PARTS 1,2,3, BUT MISSISING PART 4 !!! WTF???!! IS UP WITH THIS??!!!!!!!
3:15 but we’re to busy singing
@GHOSTCHASER01 Before freakin' out, try reading the description, darlin.
@tootletoo I sooooooo agree with you Toot!!!!!
does anyone know what beach that is??
Inetjoker,could you PM me here when you get that? I'd had a Homemade Version that has seen better days!
I agree and has beautiful legs too.
where can i buy this?
@tootletoo Ask RUclips. They took them off not me.
A zanny skit, except for the making fun out of the arctic. Happiness is....
what did you do in terms of this special
