Plot Summary for
"The Monkees" (1966) More at IMDbPro »

Not very long running comedy about the extremely Beatles-esque band, The Monkees. The group of four (Micky, Davy, Mike, and Peter) encounter interesting events and tie-in their music with each episode to encompass fast-moving scenes of comedy. Written by David Landers <dml@gwis.com>

Micky, Mike, Peter, and Davy are four young men in circa-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/movie central casting, and amid complete knowledge that their existence is part of a weekly television series. The reallife young men occassionally also discuss off-camera matters to their producer, Robert Rafelson, at the end of episodes, and perform a litany of engaging country-folk-rock songs each week. Written by Michael Daly
