NOVEMBER 28, 1966
“I've Got A Little Song Here” (prod. #4707) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC as the 12th episode of The Monkees.
Slicker and Black Label by Yardley Of London™ was the sponsor, and “Gonna Buy Me A Dog” written & produced by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart, and “Mary, Mary” written & produced by Michael Nesmith, were the songs used this week.
NOVEMBER 28, 1970
"The Monkees Blow Their Minds", Episode No. 57 of The Monkees (first aired on NBC March 11, 1968), was repeated at 12:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS.
NOVEMBER 29, 1969
“The Success Story”, Episode No. 6 of The Monkees (prod. #4710, aired on NBC October 17, 1966 and May 29, 1967), was repeated at noon Eastern on CBS, with a new song added: "French Song," written by Bill Chadwick.
DECEMBER 1, 1968
The Monkees' sixth album, the soundtrack to their feature film HEAD (#COSO-5008), was released to stores on LP and 8-track. The album's front cover was packaged in a heavy Mylar sleeve, which was designed to reflect the buyer's own head (undoubtedly patterned after the avant-garde John Brockman HEAD ad campaign). Mylar, of course, is very difficult to produce, especially for album covers, and, as a result, the HEAD soundtrack was released late due to Colgems' problems with the cover.

The album, the first one not to be released in mono, was a bizarre melange of songs and dialogue, coordinated by: Jack Nicholson, co-writer and co-producer of the movie (with director Bob Rafelson). The 6 tracks on the album were produced by Gerry Goffin (“Porpoise Song” [Theme From HEAD]) and The Monkees. One track on the album, Michael Nesmith's “Circle Sky”, was filmed and recorded live in May 1968 in Salt Lake City's Valley Auditorium and included in the movie but not the soundtrack, as an earlier-recorded studio take was employed instead.
While the movie HEAD itself tanked miserably at the box office, its neighbouring soundtrack LP fared slightly better, peaking @ #45 on the Billboard charts. Sadly, this turned out to be The Monkees' last album as a quartet.
DECEMBER 4, 1967
"The Monkees In Texas" first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on NBC as the 45th episode of The Monkees.
Kellogg's sponsored the show this week, and “Words” written by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart and “Goin' Down” written by Diane Hilderbrand, Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz & David Jones were the songs featured.
DECEMBER 4, 1971
"Monkee Mayor", Episode No. 36 of The Monkees (prod. #4760, aired on NBC October 2, 1967 and April 15, 1968), was repeated @ Noon (EST) on CBS.
