Wow, they look so young. When I used to watch their show and buy their albums, I was a young kid and they looked so grown up to me. Now I'm getting old and they look like kids. They are all so adorable.
Mike & Micky have been making jokes forever about how long they’ve been performing. Mike said it’s gotten less funny now that they’re actually “old”. (But, they laughed!😆)
@@sovietonion72 So was I! I turned 11 in June of that year. Watched the premiere of this series and Star Trek. Little could I imagine how important both shows would become over time.
I benefitted from my older brother buying Monkees albums. He had "The Monkees' Greatest Hits," "More of the Monkees," "Headquarters" and a few more. I'm happy to say that I'm too young to remember the Monkees being on prime time television; I only saw the reruns.
This was a hectic and horrible time in my childhood, my parents would fight and argue, eventually divorce, but this excellent show and super personalities really gave me some brightness and humor, Im sure like everyone else!
This was the first episode I ever watched 3 weeks ago and I didn’t knew what I was getting into. Now 3 weeks later I’m watching the last 2 episodes of a truly great and fun show that kept me laughing. Im 18 and this show grew to be one of my favourites immediately. Thanks for such a fun show from a new Monkees fan
I'm 62 and I loved this show as a little girl. I loved Davy and Mickey and had huge crushes on both. I'm always excited when the younger generation love classics from my generation
The sad thing about the end of traditional television is zoomers weren’t raised on re-runs like 80s kids were. But at least a lot is available online if you can find it. Most paid streaming platforms don’t even seem to feature these old shows. It’s like a purposeful disconnect from the continuity with the past. They don’t want people to know America was mostly white and sexual degeneracy isn’t normal.
I randomly chose this episode to watch after hearing about Mike Nesmith's death. I love that it featured 2 of my favorite songs that he sang lead on. R.I.P. Mike. Thanks for the great music!
I agree that the interview gave the impression that the Monkees were more intelligent than they were given credit for. Yet if history serves me correctly, they were limited regarding what they were allowed to discuss. Recently, I learned that "Last Train to Clarksville" was an anti-Vietnam war protest song. Bobby Hart confirmed this. In writing the song, he and Tommy Boyce had to be subtle in writing it. Only because Bobby mentioned it, I listened for hints--as he mentioned, they were subtle.
@@glamgal7106 I am recently discovering this group and all their songs and shows (thanks youtube!!!!) and I see how hard was to live in the ´60s for a young person. They are the generation of the change and they have all my respect due to that. I don´t know what the problem was with them in those days, that they were fake I read. I don´t know why they say that. David can sing very well, I heard Daydrieam believer and it is a great song.
@@glamgal7106 Less subtle is the song Daily Nightly that Nez wrote which is a direct comment on the demonstrations the guys were talking about.It's a fantastic tune! For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield was about the same subject but is often interpreted as a Vietnam protest song
Micky once said that it was a mistake to play characters with the same names as them. If he could do it over, his credit would have read "Micky Dolenz as Jerry."
That 12-string Gretsch that Mike Nesmith played here was custom made for show along with the bass that Peter plays. Mike kept it after the show was cancelled and continued to play it throughout his life, especially during the reunion shows 😊😊
My childhood best friends Mom got us into The Monkees when we were kids. We grew up in the 80's, but we always watched the reruns on TV and we bought all the albums we could get. So everytime I hear one of the songs or catch an old episode, it brings me back to my childhood. Great memories. I'm 44 now, and still love them. ❤ And I love that Mickey was apart of The original Hollywood Vampires.
Mikey Dolenz - "there haven't really been riots, they've been, in actuality, since i was there, there've been demonstrations. a lot of people, journalists, don't know how to spell demonstrations, so they use the word riot cause it only has four letters" damn.
It's easier and saves more space in any news columns to use shorter words in place of more appropriate words instead. Plus, "riot" sounds more sensationalist, even though it isn't as such. The media lives for sensationalism, unfortunately.
@@gokaury the point here is that they are trying to make the protestors sound more violent by using the word "riot". This technique is still used by right wing news media to turn public sentiment against the protestors. It is still happening today. Micky and the guys were aware of it then and young people today will tell you the same.
My mum had to go to her grandma's house to watch this, as her mother disapproved. She passed her love of the band to me, and the shows were always on when I was a kid. Now I am ... a bit older ... and they still stand tall. Gotta love The Monkees.
Their pajamas always crack me up, especially Peter's. "Eureka!" "No, we're Americans!" didn't even sound scripted, but maybe that's just due to his talent. The Four Martians' face coverings are a scream. And Mr. Schneider never fails to entertain.
22:00 The interview at the end blew my mind, and also made me somewhat depressed, that 50+ years later we're still facing the exact same issues they were trying to address back then :/
The issues today are the communist democrats trying to destroy and take over America, as when they stole the presidential election in 2020. The communist democrats can't survive without chaos, violence and division.
This was far out. My mom, may she rest in peace, loved "The Monkees" growing up, she told me multiple times how this was "her show" growing up, that she would always be there to watch it when it came on. I see now exactly what she saw in this show, it's a good quality, goofy, and overall lovable show, I liked "The Monkees" before but now I like them even more. Thank you for sharing these episodes here, this made my day getting to see one of these for the first time.
Mike summed it up for me in the interview when he stated "I would like to see all the kids in the country wearing their hair how they would like to wear it." For years I fought my family on having my hair long not only because I wanted to but because its a respect for the other part of my ancestry. It also has a bit of biblical reference but mostly because I wanted it to be the way I wanted it. I grew up in a toxic, controlling environment, I wasnt allowed to have a voice or identity. I fought my own family for mine. Now that I have a son, he goes through similar things but I keep him away from that as much as possible and ye knows he has my support. I plan on watching these with him when we can but I will never forget Mike's down to Earth honesty and will never forget him saying this. This and many other reasons are why he was my favorite Monkee. Thanks for sharing and thank you Monkees!
I can't find the exct quote, but comedian Mike Warnke pointed out that the only recorded haircut in the Bible resulted in a man being blinded (Judges 16:21-31).
What also struck me about that comment is that my son and his friends were saying the same thing with the BLM protests happening in the last couple years... this is timeless knowledge.
@@rachelharvey9346 Well, at the BLM protests there was a lot of rioting. Lots of small businesses were destroyed and several people were killed. That was no joke.
Although I had been watching repeats (reruns) of 'The Monkees' since a very young age (my father, my mother, AND my grandmother had all previously loved them when they first aired; I first saw them in the early '80s), this episode has a very special place in my heart. Here in the U.K., when 24-hour-round the clock TV broadcasting first appeared about 1988-ish, episodes of 'The Monkees' were often used as fillers in the early hours, along with other old shows such as 'The Fugitive' and 'Batman'. My father would set the VCR to record 'The Fugitive', and if I was lucky he'd leave it to record 'The Monkees'/'Batman' afterwards. Although the episodes soon got taped over with other things, before this particular episode was recorded over, for some reason I recorded the soundtrack onto cassette tape, and listened to it many, MANY times over for several years - and know just about every word! It was recorded on a cheap cassette tape and eventually it screwed up, I was really upset. Some years later I managed to grab an off-air recording of this episode... and now all these years later am watching on-line in HD. It's not the best (nor worst) episode of the series, but it'll always be one that stands out to me, just for how many times it kept me company as I listened to it on my tape recorder as a boy! :)
One of my favourite episodes ever.I think there is a brilliant balance of comedy and I like the parts where they're just lazing around at home and doing their 'thing'.
Love the talk at the end about the Sunset Strip riots or demonstrations. The incidents inspired Stephen Stills to write "For What It's Worth" for his group Buffalo Springfield who were playing at the Whiskey A Go Go club on Sunset Strip at the time.
Beautiful HD! Seems I've always loved "Sweet Young Thing". It's just surreal how time has flown... make the most of everyday. ❤️ RIP David, Peter and Michael 🙏🏻
Scary I remember most of the words to all these great songs. All the episodes. Had alot of their albums, that makes me feel soooooo old and l am only in my sixties. Love it.
Oh MY GOSH I cannot stop LAUGHING😆😆 As someone else posted, I also was a huge Monkees fan in the 60's and know all the words to their songs by 💖, to this day!! HUGE thanks for this! Just what the dr. ordered, levity!🙏🙏
I watched this on Saturdays and loved it. A bunch of cute happy guys... I wanted to be just like them. The Monkeys just had a special something. Seemed Mike always ended the episode with a moral of the story.
@@brendaamata9233 And dance. He's so good in the "Daddy" number in the movie Head. Anyone who thinks he was just in The Monkees for being cute, well, you're short changing Davy. Yes, he's attractive (in a very safe, boyish way) but there was more.
I found it fascinating that the interview segment at the end was included in the first season. I would've pictured a subject that grown up to be included in Head
I agree, it looks fantastic. It was either restored or preserved really well. Plus, shows shot on film always look better than ones recorded on videotape.
@@barbkhan2323 And I think the bathing caps used by the Jolly Green Giants turn up in the 'Captain Crocodile' episode. Worn by The Monkees as their hit with pies.
in this episode, Nesmith songs are all featured. Sweet Young Thing was co-written by Nesmith and the famous Carole King/Gerry Goffin team. The late Peter Tork (as of a few days ago before this posting) I found quite funny in this episode. the pace and insanity of the Monkees Tv show still stands as watchable today and without all the garbage of so called highbrow sex humor, fart jokes, and other BS that kids have to grow up with today..
Hate to burst your bubble but the Monkees episodes are full of sex, drug and antiwar content. It's subtle, but intentional. Even their first song 'Last Train To Clarksville' is about going to Vietnam. ...'And I don't know if I'm ever coming home'...one last fuck before going to war.
@@melissacooper4282 This is true; I was commenting on a post about the 'squeaky cleanliness' of Monkee songs and pointing out there are quite a few that had darker connotations.
Great episode of a great show with great music. When you think about it, writing, rehearsing, producing, choreographing two songs every week 48 weeks both seasons (as I remember. It was a LOT of episodes, anyway.) That in itself is incredible. Sure it took lots of help, but nobody could reasonably have believed that the four produced the entire 22 minutes by themselves, either. But i wanted to say special thanks for the interview at the end.
As long as people have eyes and watch TV, the Monkees will live on. Making jokes and singing. In a way, they have achieved a form of immortality. Davey is forever young here as they all are. And Nesmith is still alive just like Peter is. So what else can you ask for? At least they will be remembered and as forever young and funny! I used to enjoy watching this Show on Saturdays along with Cartoons. Then later I’d watch American Bandstand and Soul Train. Those were great Saturdays for Television! 👏🏻🎸😎
I am a70's kid, I recall watching them with the Banana Splits. My fa.Ily watched Bandstand a d Soul Train on Saturdays too. Then we either relaxed, went on an outing or I did my homework. Fun memories.
Wow, they look so young. When I used to watch their show and buy their albums, I was a young kid and they looked so grown up to me. Now I'm getting old and they look like kids. They are all so adorable.
Haha I saw Mike and Micky perform recently and the first thing the lady next to me said was “Damn these guys are old.” Yeah what’s new? Haha
Mike & Micky have been making jokes forever about how long they’ve been performing. Mike said it’s gotten less funny now that they’re actually “old”. (But, they laughed!😆)

Hello friend 👋 🌹
You'll never be as good as HERMAN'S HERMITS.
Every teenage girl in America was glued to the TV when the Monkees came on. I was 12 and still know their songs by heart.
I benefitted from my older brother buying Monkees albums. He had "The Monkees' Greatest Hits," "More of the Monkees," "Headquarters" and a few more. I'm happy to say that I'm too young to remember the Monkees being on prime time television; I only saw the reruns.

MTV played the whole series and we watched every one of them!! Love, love, loved this stuff!!
Unlike today's sitcoms, this was actually funny and witty!
They banned them because Davy did not appear at a Super Bowl Party.
The interview in the end was great. *“It doesn’t matter what I say, nobody listen to me because I’m not 21.”* Big truth, Davy.
The wealth came from Mike nesmeth.
I wish we could see the rest of it

Loved this episode - the boys look and sound fantastic.
This interview is absolutely amazing. Very wise remarks coming from them all, showing lots of intelligence. Love it.
I didn't realize that it was far back as the 60s that people started saying "like" every half sentence.
Yeah that's been going on like forever
Really! I always thought it was a new thing also. That's weird how we notice things like that.
Hey, like, _man!_ - Weren't hippies well known for saying that?
Like, what are you talking about ?
Literally has replaced like
Wow it only seem like yesterday! I remember coming home from school and watching the Monkees, Happy Days, Looney tunes, and Batman.
WOW I USED TO LOVE THE MONKEES WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. WOT A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. I THINK I MIGHT OF BEEN ABOUT 3-4 WHEN IT WAS ON TV.
Chris Maginess - me too! My older sisters had their albums
Best intro. I like this show
Hello friend 👋 🌹 💐
Still love the monkeys
The Monkees in HD. Now I know, God is real.
Sweet!
Actually it's Full HD
I love the sign that says "In case of fire run"
Some people like the Beatles I love this band have since I was a child so happy I found this episode.
The Beatles are one of my all time favorites, next to Queen.
I was obsessed with the Monkees as a kid. Had the albums, inherited from my mom and aunt, and the show we in reruns. Just adored them, still do.
My lord how eloquent and intelligent these young men were!
I love how Mike hiccups in sympathy with Peter!
Hello friend 👋 💐
We need the blu-ray set re-released!!!
Yes, except individual seasons that are affordable to the average person.
Why is it taking so long to put it on blu-ray?! I have several episodes recorded and it's taking up room on my DVR.
2:20 OMG!!! THIS IS THE HAPPY SONG EVER!!!

These guys are the real deal! I love the older music 🎶
I found it fascinating that the interview segment at the end was included in the first season. I would've pictured a subject that grown up to be included in Head
How far we've come when THAT is considered to be "long hair".
To borrow a quote from an ad(I think it was Virginia Slims), we've obviously gone a long way hair-wise.
Ironically in these days THAT is actually considered long hair. What happens to men? they take it almost bold.
It´s pretty long by todays standards.
I never noticed how Peter wore his belt till today. 😛😇😁
The quality is surprisingly good.
I agree, it looks fantastic. It was either restored or preserved really well. Plus, shows shot on film always look better than ones recorded on videotape.
This still makes me happier than I can say!!!!
There were the Greatest Group ,comedy team, laugh smackin players of all !
This is genuinely excellent quality in sooo many ways.
This is my favorite episode this episode is the funniest
Season 1 was the best however season 2 rating went down hill
These songs, especially those written, and sung by Nez just make me so happy still.
Detail looks amazing. I'd never been able to see before that the Martians have different-colored stockings!
The 4 Martians outfits were used in that circus episode...and i think that space alien episode with the freaky goggles....
@@barbkhan2323 And I think the bathing caps used by the Jolly Green Giants turn up in the 'Captain Crocodile' episode. Worn by The Monkees as their hit with pies.
@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427 it's they're, not their.
RIP Peter long live the Monkees
These shows aired 10 years before I was born but they were a staple of my childhood Sunday mornings.
in this episode, Nesmith songs are all featured. Sweet Young Thing was co-written by Nesmith and the famous Carole King/Gerry Goffin team. The late Peter Tork (as of a few days ago before this posting) I found quite funny in this episode. the pace and insanity of the Monkees Tv show still stands as watchable today and without all the garbage of so called highbrow sex humor, fart jokes, and other BS that kids have to grow up with today..
I agree completely...comedy now just isn't comedy. It was also very cool to see the guys talk about real life at the end!
Hate to burst your bubble but the Monkees episodes are full of sex, drug and antiwar content. It's subtle, but intentional. Even their first song 'Last Train To Clarksville' is about going to Vietnam. ...'And I don't know if I'm ever coming home'...one last fuck before going to war.
@@kennethbutler1343 The Monkees aren't the only ones who have songs about sex, drugs, and anti-war you know.
@@melissacooper4282 This is true; I was commenting on a post about the 'squeaky cleanliness' of Monkee songs and pointing out there are quite a few that had darker connotations.
The Nez is da bezzzzt
Used to watch these in reruns on the weekends late 70's early 80's. So many memories... Thanks
Great episode of a great show with great music. When you think about it, writing, rehearsing, producing, choreographing two songs every week 48 weeks both seasons (as I remember. It was a LOT of episodes, anyway.)
That in itself is incredible. Sure it took lots of help, but nobody could reasonably have believed that the four produced the entire 22 minutes by themselves, either.
But i wanted to say special thanks for the interview at the end.
As long as people have eyes and watch TV, the Monkees will live on. Making jokes and singing. In a way, they have achieved a form of immortality.
Davey is forever young here as they all are. And Nesmith is still alive just like Peter is.
So what else can you ask for? At least they will be remembered and as forever young and funny!
I used to enjoy watching this Show on Saturdays along with Cartoons. Then later I’d watch American Bandstand and Soul Train. Those were great Saturdays for Television!
👏🏻🎸😎
I am a70's kid, I recall watching them with the Banana Splits. My fa.Ily watched Bandstand a d Soul Train on Saturdays too. Then we either relaxed, went on an outing or I did my homework. Fun memories.
Mike is my favorite member from monkees! Hes great!
Carl Ballantine held up the Missing Persons sign and stared at the camera in disbelief...still funny!(lol).
Watch few of Monkees Tv show back 1974-1975 After school. Always love beginning sound tracks. Great song
