“We don’t follow fashion. That’d be a joke.” “Monkees à la Mode” is one of my favorites, if not my very favorite from the first season. The storyline plays as a culture war between the Monkees and a high fashion magazine staff. The Monkees are at their best working together, defying authority. There’s no high…

"Is It Live or is It Memorex?" “Monkees on Tour” has no storyline; it’s a documentary of the Monkees during their 1966-1967 North American tour. Most of the episode was filmed on January 21 and 22 in Phoenix, Arizona and San Francisco. Writer and director credits go to Robert Rafelson and the episode aired April 24,…
The advertisement in Variety proclaimed "Madness!! Auditions. Folk & Roll musicians-singers for acting roles in new TV series. Running parts for 4 insane boys, age 17 - 21 . . ." Hollywood TV producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider placed the ad late in 1965 as the first step towards a weekly series recreating the winning chemistry

“Live, Live, Live! Love, Love, Love!” The Monkees are hanging out in their pad and not answering the ringing phone. Mike gets to it too late. He calls the boys together to point out they haven’t had any jobs and might be missing a few calls. Always a man with a plan, Mike wants to…
“’Round and ’Round We Go!” “Monkees in the Ring” was directed by James Frawley and written by Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso.

September 12th, 1966 - the first Monkees episode premiered on NBC. Over 30 years later, this show would change my life. So thankful that God gave me a show that does such an awesome job exemplifying exactly what my humor is, what styles I like, what music I listen to, and what I love about TV & filmmaking. Pretty awesome! Thankful, thankful, thankful. Other sources & inspirations: - The poster design was inspired by a Scott Hansen's Citroen cars poster and other original 60's Citroen car ads which can be found here: blog.iso50.com/1446/citron-1966/ . - The picture used of the boys (which is one of my favorites!) is also an awesome example of their classic color scheme. This is what inspired this version's colored numbers.The picture can be found here: www.monkees.com/media-gallery/detail/46/406 . Just great! Thankful for whoever dressed them and put them on the stairs that day. - For this poster in sixties sepia colors, click this: www.flickr.com/photos/ellsflickrpage/8281937105/in/photos... - Finally, I'm loving this vintage font!
