This Day in Music

1968 - The Monkees
After 58 episodes, the final Monkees TV show airs on NBC in the United States. Since its initial run, almost every major cable network has aired re-runs of the show, including a popular stint on CBS from 1969-1972.

2. 1968 right?

I remember watching it and thought it was really stupid but they were cute so.....

3. If they had been allowed to have a third season, it would have been a different show

More skits and music, like SNL.

This final episode foreshadowed that a bit, with a performance by Tim Buckley at the end.
