That show ran in heavy reruns in the 70’s-80’s… pretty sure I would have seen every episode as a kid after school.

Micky Dolenz the only survivor now.

RIP Michael Nesmith

Here they come....

A fake music group, created and put-together for a TV sitcom loosely based on the Beatles, puts-out music that (initially) is not entirely their own, becomes a real music group and their music becomes so popular that they out-sell and out-chart the most popular music groups in the world ... including the Beatles.

Now, THAT could never happen ... Right?

Rest-in-Peace Mike Nesmith

Grew up watching them and Hogans Heroes allllllll the time. RIP Legend.

Actually my favorite of The Monkeys with that "where's Waldo" beanie. I loved that show - though it was pretty much over the top stupid. RIP Mr Nesmith.

Very good article.

I had no idea, that Nesmiths' mother invented Liquid Paper.

I read about that a few years ago. The old find a need, fill a need approach.

I am old enough to remember the show in its first run. (sadly) I truly enjoyed their music. Yeah I know they were in the beginning a fake group. So what. I have always considered Mickey the most under rated singer of his time. I would put songs like Pleasant Valley Sunday up against anything the Beatles or the Beach Boys had on the charts at the time. Now do the Monkees fall into the same category with the Beatles or even the Beach Boys? Probably not but they were pretty good for what they were.
