MARCH 6, 1967

“Alias Micky Dolenz” (prod. #4726) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. EST on NBC as the 25th episode of The Monkees.

The episode, sponsored by Glimmerick and Slicker by Yardley Of London™, showcased “Mary, Mary”, written & produced by Michael Nesmith, and “The Kind Of Girl I Could Love”, written by Michael Nesmith & Roger Atkins and produced by Michael Nesmith, as its featured songs. And these were the commercials originally shown this week: Oh De London Bath Collection by Yardley, Kellogg's Apple Jacks (with Wally Cox), Slickeringo by Yardley, and Glimmerick Eye Paint by Yardley.

MARCH 6, 1971

"Monkees Marooned", Episode No. 40 of The Monkees (aired on NBC October 30, 1967 and May 13, 1968), was repeated @ noon EST on CBS, with a new song added: "Do You Feel It Too," written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim. (And CBS would re-air this exact same episode almost a full year later!!!)

MARCH 7, 1970

“I've Got A Little Song Here”, Episode No. 12 of The Monkees (prod. #4707, aired on NBC November 28, 1966 and June 26, 1967), was repeated @ noon EST on CBS, with a new song added: "Steam Engine" written by Chip Douglas.

MARCH 8, 1967 (Micky Dolenz's 22nd birthday!!)

“A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You” b/w ”The Girl I Knew Somewhere” was released as The Monkees' 3rd single (Colgems #1004). This single marked a major turning point for The Monkees, as Side 1 of the single, Neil Diamond's “A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You”, was the last Monkees release by Don Kirshner, who, after releasing the "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"/"She Hangs Out" (#66-1003, withdrawn!) single against a 50% Monkee-control rule, was bounced from The Monkees' project. Side 2, Michael Nesmith's "The Girl I Knew Somewhere," was the first release to boast The Monkees singing and playing every note, presaging the release of their third album, The Monkees' Headquarters, a good 2 months.
