"It's 7:30/ 6:30 Central- time for the Monkees. I wonder if anyone around here has a television set"

Episode Guide Introduction
The Monkees TV show was unlike any other TV show at the time when it originally aired on NBC from September 1966 to September 1968. The show was one that truly did reach all audiences. Everyone could find something they liked. This is what made the humor, plots and personalities so versitial and timeless. The show provides a sense that no matter how depressing or imtimidating the situation may be, the Monkees enthusiatically show that nothing is too tough to handle and the Monkees will make it alright. Many Monkees TV show episode plots used allusions or references from classic movies, plays, novels and historical characters. Using this theme of being connected to the past gives the Monkees TV show its own classic status now with its own references in pop culture. This is the reason why I love the Monkees TV show. I dedicate this episode guide to those, like myself, who were not around during the 60's and love it for these reasons. Also, a big dedication to Mike, Micky, Peter and Davy for their gifts as actors, musicians, artists and comedians.
