The Monkees

1966–1968 · 2 seasons

A giddy, joke-a-second romp where the band keeps breaking into song and the camera keeps breaking the rules.

Tagline: Who's putting who on? You'll never know till you see this show!
Overview: Micky, Mike, Peter, and Davy are four young men in mid-1960s LA, members of a struggling country-folk-rock band looking for their big break amid madcap encounters with a variety of people straight out of TV and movie central casting, with full knowledge that their existence is part of a weekly television series.
