Yardley Of London™ took its turn at bat to sponsor this week. MAY 15, 1971 "The Monkees At The Movies", Episode No. 31 of The Monkees (prod. #4727, aired on NBC April 17, 1967), was repeated @ 12:30 p.m. EDT on CBS. MAY 16, 1970 "Too Many Girls" (a.k.a. "Davy And Fern"), Episode No. 37 of The Monkees (prod. #47??, aired on NBC December 19, 1966), was repeated @ noon EDT on CBS. MAY 17, 1968 Production on The Monkees' motion picture HEAD was completed after a 3-month, 2-day shoot, with the staged "Circle Sky" concert sequence filmed and recorded before a live audience at The Valley Auditorium in Saly Lake City, Utah. For the staged concert for filming, which took place at 1 p.m., PR officer Floyd Ackerman, who previously geared up The Monkees' summer 1967 tour, spent a week stirring up interest and ensured an open-arms heliport welcome for the band. Radio KCPX 105.7 FM were given 4,000 free tickets to distibute to fans, precipitating a response so huge that a "bonus" concert was immediately scheduled, for which 5,000 more passes were handed out. After wrapping up shooting the movie with the concert sequence, The Monkees played that bonus concert (which ran 45 minutes) later that very evening at the Lagoon Park Amusement Theatre as a token of appreciation to the kids of Salt Lake City. These turned out to be the very last concerts in America The Monkees ever played as a quartet. A Site Dedicated To Favorite Shows - Yours And Mine!

I just wanted to pop in to thank you for posting these Monkee memories every week! It's always fun for me to try to think about what Monkees episode was on TV at this time 40 years ago or during the Saturday reruns, etc. Sometimes I even make it a point to watch the featured episodes of the week and sort of try to imagine myself transported back in time to the year and day it originally aired. I have to admit that I don't remember watching any specific episodes during the series' original run (when I was 5 & 6 years old), although I watched the show regularly back then, but I do still remember watching a couple of specific episodes (and even scenes) from its second run in the late 60s/early 70s -- most notably the scenes during the romp in "Monkees At The Circus" where The Monkees are walking the tightrope. I hope you don't mind, but I would like to suggest one slight change to one of your descriptions in this week's "almanac." About the tag interview at the end of "Monkees At The Movies," you wrote: *Quote:* The Monkees ripped on the fact that they didn't play their own instruments at their concerts at the end of this episode. I think it might be more accurate to say that they ripped on the "misconception" or the "mistaken idea" that they didn't play their own instruments at their concerts, since the "fact" was that they did play in concert. What do you think? Again, I hope I am not out of line in making this suggestion. I really admire your vast knowledge about The Monkees and their show, and I visit your website often and find it to be a very valuable and entertaining resource about The Monkees TV show!

No, not at all! Thanks for the kind words, though. I personally feel The Monkees should have been given a fair chance at the music-making gig beforehand. And I'm sure the feeling's mutual.

I have a suggestion, maybe I can post it on your board when I can figure out to join your forum. You know you have a Batman vs. Monkees section. I think you have enough going on here to have a Monkees vs. I Dream of Jeannie page. Someone else did some of the legwork here, but I bet there is more and I am sure you have some mentions of this on your Monkees website.
