This Week's Monkees TV Almanac (10/22-28/06)

[AaronHandy3]

OCTOBER 23, 1967

"Hillbilly Honeymoon" (a.k.a. "Double Barrell Shotgun Wedding") (prod. #47??) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 39th episode of The Monkees.

The sponsor of the week was Kellogg’s™, and the song of the week was “Papa Gene’s Blues”, written & produced by Michael Nesmith. This was the first episode of The Monkees TV series to be filmed after The Monkees completed their summer tour, as well as the episode which introduced the “new-look” Monkees, in which case they employed love beads, shades, paisley gear, Indian boots, and, in Micky’s case, a huge head of curly Afro hair. As production on the show's second season progressed, Michael would also adapt to the "new-look" Monkees phase by abandoning his omnipresent wool hat in favor of shades and neckties.
