What Films did You Watch Last Week (25/02 - 03/03) closed

MeTV ran two Monkees episodes back-to-back whose stories featured Peter Tork. I find The Monkees to be funnier now than when I first watched the show back in the ‘60s. But, as the old saying goes, if you can remember the Sixties, you weren’t there.

The Monkees S.1 Ep. 13 “One Man Shy” December 5, 1966. Peter becomes infatuated with a rich girl but is too shy to approach her so his buddies attempt to help him out. The featured music in this episode is what would be their second hit to reach #1, Neil Diamond’s “I’m A Believer.”

The Monkees S. 2 Ep. 20 “The Devil and Peter Tork” February 5, 1968. Peter unknowingly signs away his soul for fame, fortune, and the ability to play the harp. The second half riffs on “The Devil and Daniel Webster” as the Monkees contest the contract at a trial in hell.
