JULY 8, 1968
“The Monstrous Monkee Mash”, Episode No. 50 of The Monkees (prod. #4767, from Jan. 22, 1968), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC.
The sponsors of the week were Walt Disney Productions (The One And Only, Genuine, Original Family Band [Buena Vista, 1968]), Ban and Hi-C, and the commercials shown were: Ban, Clairol Midnight Sun, and Hi-C.
JULY 8, 1972
“Fairytale”, Episode No. 48 of The Monkees (prod. #4748, from Jan. 8 and Jun. 24, 1968, NBC), was repeated @ noon (EDT) on CBS.
JULY 10, 1967
“Captain Crocodile”, Episode No. 23 of The Monkees (prod. #4730, from Feb. 20, 1967), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC, with a new song added: “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” written by Gerry Goffin & Carole King and produced by Douglas Farthing Hatlelid. This retelecast coincided with “Pleasant Valley Sunday”'s release on the A-side of the Colgems #66-1007 single, b/w a newly woodshedded remake of Boyce & Hart’s “Words”.
Sponsored this week by Yardley Of London™, the original commercials you would have seen were: Heartbreaker Eye Compact By Yardley (:30), Glimmerick by Yardley (:30), Jimmy Durante for Kellogg's Corn Flakes (1:00), and Clairol Midnight Sun (1:00).
During a performance on Capt. Crocodile's show, Michael fangs to The Cap, "Either you let us play, or we quit!"...a catchcry which would become alarmingly prophetic in The Monkees knockdown, dragout, yet successful battle for the right to play their own music. Don Kirshner's ousting as a result of this had a profound effect on this episode; in the scene where The Monkees get The Crocodile Corps to sit down and listen to a story, Micky originally starts to read, "Once upon a time in the land of Kirshner..." That was when The Man With The Golden Ear was still a valid member of the Screen Gems/Monkees community. However, when "Captain Crocodile" was renetworkcast, Kirshner was long gone from the picture, and its soundtrack was altered not just to include Goffin and King's "Pleasant Valley Sunday", but to change Micky's story introduction as well: "Once upon a time, in the land of Schnieder..." (after creator/coproducer Bert Schnieder).
JULY 10, 1971
“The Monkees In A Ghost Town”, Episode No. 7 of The Monkees (prod. #4704, from Oct. 24, 1966 and Jul. 17, 1967, NBC), was repeated @ 12:30 p.m. (EDT) on CBS.
