Plot Synopsis
Storyline
The Monkees travel to New York to meet a young producer, Mackinley Baker, at The Compton Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately, they find Baker just about to be evicted out of the room and themselves without any money for a place to stay. So, the group holds on to the room while Baker visits his backer. When this does not work out, they try convincing members of the Millionaire's club across the street to back Baker's play. Written by The TV Archaeologist

If you were to play a Monkees episode for someone who never saw the show before, this may be a decent one for the Gen X'ers and younger (forget those older!). Why do I say that>? It's got a mid show impromptu interview and lot's of their music, I figure 3 musical interludes some that resemble what's going on now in alt rock music videos with the guys jumping over a fountain somewhere, probably some apartment building, just your kind of youtube.com moment aka guys dancing on walk-master's. Preston Foster is also in this one, in one of his earliest TV appearances, thats kind of cool on it's own. I was really surprised by this one, expecting the same old kind of tired formula, this one was radical, I guess from the second season, I vaguely remember watching the second season episodes as a kid in the early 70's when they wold show it in the early afternoon on Saturdays as part of a tie in to the cartoon lineup. Seeing those guys in concert in actual live footage was at first confusing to me but I dug it man. I hated all those like my older Brother who bad mouthed the Monkees but I'm happy to say that they were really cool to have the guts to changed the format and at least try not to be forever typecast as a "kiddie" group. Good for them, compared to what's out there in Alt rock now, it looks like a lot is still getting borrowed just by watching this one episode. Way to go Davy, Michael, Peter, and Mickey (I did those names by heart, you guys are great), Thanks!
