The Monkees
Who's putting who on? You'll never know till you see this show!
Created by Bob Rafelson, Bert Schneider
On NBC
A high-energy, self-aware sitcom built on anarchic comedy and the chemistry of four young musicians, where the joke is often the show itself.
Micky, Mike, Peter, and Davy are four young men in mid-1960s LA, members of a struggling country-folk-rock band looking for their big break amid madcap encounters with a variety of people straight out of TV and movie central casting, with full knowledge that their existence is part of a weekly television series.
