SEPTEMBER 16, 1972

"Monkees Marooned," Episode No. 40 of The Monkees (from Oct. 30, 1967 and May 13, 1968, NBC), was repeated @ 1:00 p.m. (EDT) on ABC.

SEPTEMBER 18, 1967

"The Picture Frame" (a.k.a. "The Bank Robbery") (prod. #4759) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 34th episode of The Monkees. Yardley Of London originally sponsored this week, and the songs featured were Goffin and King's "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and Micky Dolenz's "Randy Scouse Git."

This was the first episode of The Monkees to be produced for its second season.

SEPTEMBER 18, 1971

“Don't Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth,” Episode No. 8 of The Monkees (prod. #4708, from Oct. 31, 1966, NBC), was repeated @ noon (EDT) on CBS, with a new song added: "I Never Thought It Peculiar," written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.

SEPTEMBER 19, 1966

“Monkee See, Monkee Die” (prod. # 4705) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 2nd episode of The Monkees.

The sponsor of the week was Slicker and Black Label by Yardley Of London™, and the songs featured were “Last Train To Clarksville” by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart and “Tomorrow’s Gonna Be Another Day” (erroneously listed as “Tomorrow Is Another Day”) by Tommy Boyce & Steve Venet.

This episode marked “Last Train To Clarksville”'s debut appearance on the series. The next 2 episodes would feature the tune, and the prolonged TV exposure would help displace ? and The Mysterians' "96 Tears" to ensure “Last Train To Clarksville”'s status as the first #1 hit for The Monkees for 2 weeks. It was issued on the A-side of the Colgems #66-1001 single on August 16, 1966, well ahead of time--almost 4 weeks before the official NBC debut of The Monkees' TV series!--to accurately time it for weekly network promotion.

SEPTEMBER 19, 1970

"Monkees Marooned," Episode No. 40 of The Monkees (from Oct. 30, 1967 and May 13, 1968, NBC), was repeated @ 12:30 p.m. (EDT) on CBS, with a new song added: "Do You Feel It Too," written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim.

SEPTEMBER 20, 1969

“Captain Crocodile,” Episode No. 23 of The Monkees (prod. #4730, from Feb. 20 and July 10, 1967, NBC), was repeated @ noon (EDT) on CBS.
