- TriviaWhen the TV series was about to be renewed for a third season, The Monkees wanted to change it from a half-hour sitcom to an hour-long variety show where they would introduce new artists. However, NBC gave the group an ultimatum: stick with the format as it was or be cancelled. They stuck to their guns and, as a result, the series was cancelled after two seasons on the air.
- GoofsIn a number of second-season episodes of the TV series, Micky Dolenz's hairdo changes back and forth from a straight look to a curly "permed" look. This was due to the fact that these second-season episodes were filmed at two different times: in the spring of 1967 (when a number of the actual episode story lines were filmed) and then later that fall (during which time all the song performances were filmed). During the summer break, Micky let his hair grow out. The difference is perhaps most notable in A Nice Place to Visit (1967), when at one moment Micky is performing a song with his hair curly, and is then seen leaving the stage with his hair straight.
- Crazy creditsThe Christmas Show (1967) departs from the usual stills montage by ending with The Monkees giving the TV audience a Christmas wish of peace. The group then brings the crew members onto the set and gives them all a very happy and raucous opportunity to give their loved ones at home a Christmas greeting, all while the closing credits play over this.
- Alternate versionsVarious episodes, either when shown in network reruns (i.e., the CBS run) or in syndication, had newer songs replacing older ones on the soundtrack.

Featured review
A great show and group!
The Monkees was one of the most unique television shows ever created! The show featured great music and comedy that had people laughing for hours. All four of the guys were extremely talented and no one else could have taken their place. The show should be run more often so that today's generation of kids can enjoy them too.
