On this day in 1966 The Monkees began filming for it's TV series. It subsequently began airing from September 1966 to March 1968. I grew up watching The Monkees in reruns along with the Banana Splits and Ultra Man to name a few.
Here is a link to that very first episode released Sept 12th 1966. It's in two parts so make sure to watch the second video as well. I will also post "I'm a believer" which arrived in December of 1966.
